If it's for Contact purpose, Saiuns, +2 accuracy seaplanes, and Type 2 Recon Aircraft, for me, are more than enough, really. In case low-accuracy squadron performs the Contact, I just shrug and deal with it.

I also planned to collect three Type 97 Tomonaga Sqd., but it's for other purpose that is not Contact (though + accuracy is still helpful). Forget about contact, it's useless.

It doesn't increase hit rate, it only increases damage, which I would rather rely on proficiency nowadays. The worst contact bonus is 12%, while the best is 20%.

Proficiency, on the other hand, does increase hit rate, it also gives a much more significant damage boost (around 50% post-cap, I believe).
