Support expedition does depend heavily on accuracy. People always say the support expeditions were almost useless and relies on a great deal of luck to clear enemy vessels. But in reality is that most admirals never really looked into the accuracy problem of support expeditions and just let their fleet miss everything they can hit.

Take the dive bombers on CVs for example, it's not because the Egusa 99s outrank the Suisei 12As in firepower that makes them so formidable, it's the extra +4 accuracy on each of the planes that makes the difference between hitting nothing and wiping out 2/3~1/2 of the enemy surface fleet. You're getting a +16 accuracy for each CV in the support expeditions and not trading off any bit of their firepower for it.
