I used Kasumi K2B (2x gun t32kai radar) Ooyodo (gun, Obs +6, night recon +max, gun), Pola (gun,gun, RO.43 +max, RO.44) + 3 DDs w/ two guns each, two t33radar and one starshell between them. In the last three months they did Bm7 in single attempt every time.

A node might be somewhat risky, as there is often survivor or two capable of launching closing torpedo, but shipgirls with high enough levels should evade them alright. Which kind brings two next points:

- Ooyodo, IMO, is a must. She alone provide more than half LOS needed. And after ecent stat bump she can kick ass good enough. Abubear is cute and opening torp is nice, but it means only 2 extra shots (in A node and at boss), at the price of less accuracy, no artillery spotting and compromising firepower of other girls to meet LOS criteria. Too much of a trade-off, IMO.

- Levels are more important than stats. By levels I mean evasion and LOS, and by stats firepower/torpedo stats. High leveled kanmusus make a lot of difference here.

Re: equip, invest in upgrading seaplanes. Especially Type 0 Obs can be relatively easy upgraded to +6, at which point it has better LOS than anything else, Shiun and radars including. With what you have, I'd say give 2x gun + radar (t32 for kasumi, 1x t33 + 2x t22kai4) to DDs, 2x gun + 2x T Type0 Obs to Ooyodo and 2x gun + Shiun + RO.44 or Zuiun (Zuiun have more LOS and have extra attack, but might get wiped by AA and you won't get AS at boss) to Zara, and you have +44 or more LOS just from equip (assuming no upgrades). Add sum of square roots of LOS of you shipgirls, subtract HQ level penalty and you'll know if you're making it. If you have spare LOS, take some nightime equipment, switching one seaplane for night recon and/or t33 radar for starshell.

And, as a final note, don't go for torpedo cut-ins (or, gods forbid, mixed cut-ins, what were you thinking, really?). Too unreliable, and usless by day. Double attacks are reliable, good enough at night, and can do damage by day. Remember - you'll only have two night rounds (D node and boss), but three daytime (A node and two rounds of shelling at boss).
