In other words you need to be grossly over-leveled to not waste tons and tons of fuel and they think its totally balanced to have a boss kill your tanks before they reach the enemies to engage and let them snow ball with 5*s

This is so much worse than Kantai Collection's event rng saltfest
Anyone can get an easy 36 blue prints or so by clearing up to stage 24. Beyond that, you're only getting a slight bit more blue prints anyways. At that point, going any farther than that would primarily be for the ranking. And in the case of ranking, your competition has to deal with the same bullshit you have to deal with, so it balances out, really.

Just remember that every time Katy blows up 4 of your tanks, she did that to five other poor schmucks that are trying to beat you, too.

That said, it might have been better for the playerbase's sanity if it was just a stat-fest instead of an RNG-fest. As much as people would hate the principal of the thing, the lack of losing oil to randomness would result in much less salt. Ideally it would be about strategy but there's only so much strategy one can do with the mechanics of the game.
