E-5's preboss node essentially follows the saying "Offense is the best defense." It's better to strike down the enemy's fleet before the CV Oni and her escorts (Wo-class flagships, Ri/Ru-class flagship kai on hard mode) can wreck you. Heck, if your BBs are strong enough, they sometimes can cripple the CV Oni, which makes the whole preboss battle a lot easier.
