In 3BB 3CV you should be able to push your firepower well above the softcap, so even if you get a head on engagement your CV(Taihou atleast) will still be close to the 150 softcap. The only BBs that can do that are the Yamato class. They'll probably be hitting harder than your normal BBs in that situation(except on the flagship). I wouldn't expect much from the opening airstrike, but you can occasionally see some damage on the fortress.

The biggest downside to that set up to me is you have 2-3 ships that become completly useless at orange. I'm not sure about other people but after the initial airstrike in the boss battle I usually had atleast one orange ship.
