I've seen nico stream attempting STF.

STF makes pre-boss nodes safer since you've CVL/CV/CL to poke sub node, but is absolutely terrible at boss node.

In STF, your main fleet attacks twice before your escort gets to attack and fire torpedoes. On the second main fleet volley, it is possible for your main fleet to target enemy's escort, which is a terrible waste. The enemy can also attack your escort fleet before they get to fire torp.

Given that the fight is usually decided via night battle (unless you're friggin Shin), you're betting on European Hime + BB Hime not hitting your escorts, which is not fun.

If you're lucky and European Hime is the only one left after second shelling, you'll get concentrated torp attack European Hime. That's great, but very unlikely, not to mention you might only have 1~2 escort ships that's not Chuuha-ed after the second shelling.
