Also mob control. Equipped with ko-houteki and two good seaplane bombers each Chi sisters on a good rng can wipe up to six (admittedly, weak) enemies before the shelling phase even begins. Show me any other class of ship that can do that.

AVs are good, but hard to use efficiently because they are very squishy. Akitsushima though doesn't seem to be equivalent of the Chi sisters, but something quite different. I'm not sure yet what she's going to be useful for. Probably some new branching/LOS mechanics. Maybe it will be possible to select route on map if you scouted it with flying boats or something like that.
