HQ 107 here, I do the three 1-5 boss kills weekly quest every week. I sortie 1 CVL, 1 BBV and 2 DDs. For those three boss kills, I do 3~5 sorties. Sure, Oscar sometimes one-shots someone, but for the last 2 months it either misses or scratches the BBV about 80% of the times. And indeed, using CLs instead of DDs is safer, but IMO not needed.

I got so confident on my girls capabilities, that I even switched my lvl 56 Kuma and Nagara for lvl 30+ Murakumo and Hatsushimo. There was a slight increase in forced retreats, but nothing alarming.

Strategies: Keyword here is sparkling, for its bonus to evasion. CVL as flagship provides some protection, as Oscar rarely aims for that slot. Being flagship, she will naturally remain sparkled. I equip her with 3 ASW planes + Saiun. Ryuuhou's torp bomber plus Akitsumaru's roflcopter and scout plane are ideal, allowing her to one-shot elite subs on at least parallel engagement, and even take down the goldfish at boss by herself on Green T. My Junyou K2/RJ K2 sometimes grab MVP at boss, go figure. Both DD/CL grab MVP all the time, so they remain sparkled. Usual 2x Sonar + DC loadout, of course. If the BBV is equipped with good double chevroned bombers (634, M12, Seiran), she will most likely grab MVP at Oscar, and remain sparkled even after S-ranking the boss. With such bombers, she can easily take down elites and mess up the goldfish on at least parallel engagement. Also, I never do 1-5 runs when the girls show signs of fatigue.

IMO, that node is overrated. The boss node itself makes me spend more in repairs than that "troll" node.
