Well for what it's worth, seaplane fighters were only useless for a short period of time, then were seriously buffed and became must-haves. If I remember right, the Ro.44 was crap at first, but by the time the Zero Seaplane Fighter was introduced, they already had 25 FP capability. In any case, I don't think you can compare something as simple as a FP boost, to 60 ASW OASW attacks and a carrier being ACTUALLY USEFUL IN YASEN.

So, it's easy to see how Taiyou might be useful - You'd have to be an potato-prejudiced idiot to scrap her this early. We'll have to see how the devs implement these support-type ships in future maps' mechanics. I'm still a bit skeptical on the usefulness of escort DDs. Lower OASW number, completely lower-than-Mutsuki trash in everything else. It's like the devs should've introduced these mechanics a long time ago, but they're only doing it now. Can't be helped, I guess.
