Because of artillery spotting mechanic. Since about 2 months ago or w/e, if you get air superiority, ships that have recon planes (seaplane, seaplane bombers) on them can use double attacks or cut-ins during the day, which do f*ckloads of damage to everything, even a Hime. I've watched my kongou 1-shot Hime's with a cut-in/double attack. If you know for a fact that you can't get air superiority because of the map, then your setup is what you should run because of the accuracy increase from the radar. Otherwise, you *really* want that seaplane for ridiculous daytime damage.

Typical fast BB setup is 2x 46, Seaplane, AP ammo. Even without AP ammo, you can do some nice damage to trash ships and will probably 1-shot flag BB's, but won't 1 shot bosses. I'm hoping to use Sanshiki during the event for retarded double-attack damage to bosses during the day.
