Oh, sorry, forgot to check that thread. I've read about your setup and so, have something to report.

In my opinion, you could make yourself more fails by setting cut-in setups. Let's suppose you have 3DDs (one of them is Shigure) with torp cut-ins (setting a hybrid cut-in is already a failure, 'cuz it usually deals less damage than double for unknown reason). The chances of all these 3DD triggering cut-ins are ~4.6% if Shigure is on the flagship position and ~5.8% if not. This makes 1 perfect situation per 16-20 failures, in which you will most likely see your DD miss a torpedo shoot or do some crappy damage. Instead of this, you can equip a double attack on everyone to ensure your ships won't suck at night battle (leaving Shigure with cut-in at a flagship is still a good idea).

You also said you tried all possible formations for boss. That's surely a mistake. If the boss is not a sub, the only acceptable formation is line ahead.

And, as a bonus, I'm uncovering a little trick for this map. If the battle is night-oriented, it's better to place higher damage ships (CL and Kai2 DDs in E-2) at the last slot. Since your flagship slot is already taken and there's no second shelling in day battle, it won't make difference in terms of targeting until night. The reason is obvious: to make sure ships in higher slots will wipe out all the trash with the maximum chances. That's also the reason that a flagship rarely cut-ins to a specific target - there's usually too much targets to choose from.
