I'm not so great at giving advice, but I'd recommend the following changes:

- Replace Ooi with another DD (high luck cutin would be best), or add a European ship to your fleet. If I'm not mistaken, you should be going through Node L because of that. On the note of Ooi, get her to K2 ASAP. Only then can she deal decent damage, with opening torp strike + night DA. Also, q uite a few members of your fleet are close to K2 level, but aren't quite there, if you have the time to spare, I'd recommend getting them to K2 before continuing on.

- On your battleships, use AP shells if you have them. If not, Radar to maximize chances of artillery spotting would be best.

- Put at least two sqaudron of fighters on your carriers. You need at least AS to get artillery spotting - which all of your BBs and CAs are attempting to utilize. Also, u se Torpedo Bombers instead of Dive Bombers - they tend to deal more damage on average. Torpedo bombers recieve a either a 0.8x or 1.5x multiplier for damage in opening airstrike, just hope you get that 1.5x.

- Are you using LBAS? I'm using 1 Bomber + 3 Fighters to boss node, allows you to get AS+ with a minimal amount of fighters on your carriers. Remember that you need at least 6 range to make it to boss.

- Shigure K2 should be equipped with torp cut-in (2 torpedoes, then one of any equipment excluding guns). Ships in Escort fleet should be equipped with DA (except for Shigure as torp cut-in), not mixed cut-in. Put Shigure as the 6th ship so that she attacks last, and will hopefully cut in to finish the job after the rest of your ships chip the boss.

- Swap Suzuya with a CA in your main fleet - her Zuiuns won't get launched during opening airstrike unless she's in main fleet, if I remember correctly.

- Ashigara shouldn't have a torpedo in her slot, replace with a radar. On that note, replace her secondary gun with either a main gun or 15.5 yellow guns (or something similar in firepower). That gun isn't the greatest in terms of damage...

- An AACI ship isn't necessary, but helpful. If you have the equipment to do so, and you feel that it would help, I'd recommend making an AACI-dedicated ship.

Wow, this ended up longer than I first expected it to be...
