After multiple failed attempts on E1 hard, I decided to ignore the 'use 4-slot cruisers' advice. This was mainly triggered by Katori (my only 4-slot left in the fleet) once again failing to do anything but scratch. Swapped out my level 90 Yamashiro Kai-2 for level 39 Ise with a full seaplane load, Katori (61) for Isuzu Kai-2 (53) and they made it look pretty much like a cakewalk. Parallel engagement, even. And didn't even need to drop the CVL and pray not to get Red-T.

RNG obviously plays a big part, but I was getting the Sub Hime only to ~30-40 HP even with ideal conditions. Ise was able to properly assist in clearing the junk subs, and Isuzu hit like the other cruisers, doing ~25-30 a hit and also getting in the last shot.

Theoretically she should be worse than Katori, but that's not what I was seeing. Is it possible that the Sub Hime when armored up uses a different calculation to normal ASW?
