Some suggestions: specify at what HQ levels and nodes the subs drop so people will know they can't get I-8 pre HQ 80 from 1-5 for example. Also a note that both blue and red bombers are capable of attacking subs as some new players end up thinking that only blue bombers can be used (though the 97s are the best for the newbie admirals). Gyros can be used on the BBV and zuiuns aren't required to shell, whereas a CVL has to have at least one red/blue bomber or they can't shell with the other akitsumaru equip.

Personal preference, but yuubari's armor and evasion makes me not want to use her in 1-5. Swinging for the fences when a base hit will do. I do prefer other CLs to DDs just for the armor alone as the ~10 evasion difference doesn't add as much value as ~15 armor and hp
