PSA: If people post fleet compositions and have Zuiuns everywhere but no seaplane fighters...they probably don't have SPFs. Recommending SPFs to them is like telling someone who needs money by the end of the week to get a new job that won't pay them until the week after.

I only say this because through the entire duration of this event, I've seen people on E-4E post up comps with Zuiuns, and they're continually told to use SPFs instead. Yes, SPFs are vastly superior for the role seaplanes are being asked to perform. All the equipment recommendations on the E-4 tab up above speak to the usefulness of SPFs.

Without Akashi, a crapton of screws, a handful of spare Type 0 recons, the correct assistant ship, and the right day of the week, you can't just "get" SPFs. Yes, they're available quest reward...opposite an otherwise COMPLETELY unobtainable and unique plane that yes, is a poor man's Type 2 flying boat, but is otherwise the second-best LBAS range extender in the game. Considering the uniqueness, exclusivity, and usefulness for people missing Akitsushima, there's nothing wrong with wanting the PBY.

/rant. TL;DR, stop assuming Zuiun users are sitting on SPFs.
