I agree with what the stage guide currently says, and don't think that using BB's is wise. From experience, the weird combat math for battles starting at night ( I don't think the Basic attack power = firepower + torpedo formula is accurate, though it might be for regular night battles) means that BB are only marginally tankier than DD's, and there is also evasion to consider. No matter the ship, if they eat a CA cut-in, the vast majority of the time they are going to red. I understand that BB's are very helpful in Boss node, but the repair costs are prohibitive.

I did 3 clears with CA/ ASW CL/ 2 CLT/ 2 DD and 2 clears with SS. The SS were far tankier ( can actually get hit by gold CL and not go to red, no cut-ins from hell) but of course, go off-course far more often.
