Don't give up hope yet; sometimes, all you need to do is take a look at all LOS-boosting equipment you have available and consider what your most viable options are:

-Do your DDs have radars equipped? Any surface or air radar that boosts LOS will help dramatically (I used Type 21s and 22s, which aren't that great, but I still got to the boss node).

-Do your CAs have seaplanes, whether they are recon, obs, or bomber? Obs would be recommended, but Recon planes can probably suffice (they worked for me, and I was HQ level 96).

-Do your CVLs have yellow planes, skilled planes, or Ryuusei/Ryuusei Kai? Yellows will really give you the largest LOS boost, since Type 2s give +7 LOS and Saiuns give +9. If you don't have them, try 30/20/10/130 or 30/60/10/130 in development. Two or three yellow planes should give plenty of equipment LOS for E2. Ryuusei/Ryuusei Kai gives +1/+2 LOS and incredible torp stats for dealing with most enemies in E2.

Finally, you've still got plenty of time to finish E2 (if that's your final goal). All the important LOS equipment that you need to reach the boss can be crafted. Just take your time and try to craft stuff to improve your equipment LOS (since it accounts for more than innate LOS that the fleet has).
