Saiuns are not exactly a forceful requirement. Usually, a successful fleet composition for maps(events and non-events) requires just 2 or 3 CV/L. No point in equipping more than 3.

The guy that talks about the type 0 observations is right and it's something that must be taken into account. BBs, CAs and CLs* can equip two main guns and two type 0s. Sometimes radars don't make much difference in battle anyway.

Equipping 3 or 4 Saiuns in total is a waste in my opinion because you are going to need firepower and/or aerial power sometime, so 1 should be more than enough. If you need more LoS then Type 2 recons could be a little more efficient solution, as they can increase more damage on aerial contact due to accuracy, with a greater chance to trigger than other planes while having similar LoS than saiuns.

Remember that getting a red T is not always a bad thing, more if there's a Re-chan present and for bosses, night battles is when the actual damage is dealt.

I got my first saiun from Unryuu's equipment and I didn't have a type 2 either so for Midway I equipped one BB with four type 0s and everything worked perfectly.
