No one said one is better than the other, just they are used for different reason. Imagine a map where you only allow to sortie lets say 1 CV. but even with all reppuu on kaga you are still short from AS. what do you do? this is when Fusou become verry useful. taht extra bit of air power can get AS for you. And trust me these kind of map exists.

The problem with opening tropedo strike is it is random at first, (like what if she hits the same target as Ooi/KTKM. kind of wasted damage). 2nd. She has only medicore tropedo stats, meaning she wil have problem killing bigger ships.

You been using CLT to open strike and in non event maps. so you have much higher tropedo stats and enemies are much weaker (armor +HP) so it works better.

No one said Abukuma is a bad choice, just not a godo chioce for beginners. Bec she doesnt add enough to your fleet to justify that BP. While Fusou can make you pass situation wehre you cant otherwise (like i mentiond above)

CVL has far less planes. firepower so less air power + less damage. They also have much weaker armor and HP, meaning they will get send home much more often.
