It is not the armor roll that is ridiculous. It is that you do not have enough fire power!

Let's do some quick maths. Damage = Basic fire power * coefficients - armor * roll of armor, where roll of armor is some coefficient between 0.7 and 1.3. So how much damage nelson is expected to do without critical hits? Assume she has 190 firepower, with double attack and AP bonus, her fire power goes up to 246. The expected armor roll is 1.0, so you are expected to do (246-188)*2 = 116 damage. Musashi is better but not by that much. She is still uncapable of one-shotting the boss.

So what should we do here? Let us first inspect your fleet. I assme taihou and yura have no contribution at the boss node. Furthermore, you opt for single line formation, which means nelson touch is never going to be a thing. That is a huge waste of damage output there.

So how do we maximise our odds of sinking the boss? By hitting her more often! That requires us to sink escorts more efficiently, and taking less damage in the process. So you should use nelson touch in double like formation, and send your boss support expedition. As of composition, you can consider using ise kai ni as your fighter mule, and bring one more CAV as opposed to yura for better night battle performance. For your reference, second fleet of (http://kancolle-calc.net/deckbuilder.html?id=-LKbay0nSlYw21huEoNR) is what I use currently, and I have no problem clearing boss even in red T or sometime in day battle (https://imgur.com/a/LpLkmgB).
