The Kolbergs are way more adept than any you will meet in a normal game and I try to keep them at long range while smashing them. I've used CAs mostly in this op, the premiums DeGrasse and Makarov work well, purely so that I can use a 19pt commander with them and have access to torps. The bot DDs are also pretty deadly good at jinking and dodging, if you venture into the south entrance be careful of the one there as it is very good at smoke firing and torping coupled with the Kaiser (IIRC) that is also lurking there. I tend to venture into the harbour through the middle entrance killing all the forts that are visible and then the Kolberg and the supply ships. The shore installations can usually be one or two shotted with HE, hitting them is tricky, and the only guaranteed way I've found is to aim low and then adjust up until the white mountain icon disappears. As to completion, getting all 5 stars means you need a couple of allies who know what they're doing in terms of getting the secondary tasks, however, even with a bunch of potatoes as long as you have one ship alive that gets to the exit then the primary task will be complete. I usually don't survive as I tend to be one of the team that cleans up the secondary tasks and the BBs, especially the Ishizuchi, are really very good at finding your citadel. It's not one of the easier scenarios to get 5 stars in but completing the primary task is relatively easy.
