DDs are DD. They're highly random on how they hit. Did you use support expedition? It is highly reccomended at least non-boss to at least get to boss.

Your Shigure is high level enough and I'd recommend you putting her in escort fleet instead to benefit from her high luck. Put her in Cut-in setup for some lucky shots at night. Remember, you only need to clear the map to reduce the guage not sink the boss. What you'll be aiming for most of the time is to sink at least 4 out of 6 ships. That means 3 light ships and at least 1 Ta class Battleship.

That is the reason for my team composition.

As you can see, the main fleet composed of light ships and supports such as Mutsuki class to reduce the cost (and because I'm Zel-melon). Plus, the escort will attack first, so it's either they clean most of them out or nothing, your main fleet won't do much and it's better off for you to just equip them with drums (some lucky shots will happen but DD only shines when they can use all their gears....guns + torp +/- Cut-in.

For Escort fleets, other than Maya who is there to support Akitsumaru for AS and ABKM for pre-torp stikes all the others are all high luck ships (Myoukou, H2shimo, Ayanami, Shigure). This is done to maximize Cut-in chance. With double starshell, I increased the chance of night battle cut-in bonus and with 4 high luck ships, it's highly likely that at least one will do a cut-in and sometimes....that's all you need.
