iirc they probably used Reppu for boss node of E-5. The problem with Reppu is flight range - it only has 5, compared to named Type-52 variants (601 and Skilled) who have 6. And afaik the formula for the rumored drop in performance when an LBAS squadron goes beyond its range is still unknown.

Some also used bombers. more bombers = less fighters = less FP in air rads = less planes shot down.

Those sum up the probable reasons why some get AI at boss node.
