Enemy SS has AA capabilities. SS can't be hit by preemptive bombing. AV, LHA can also attack SS. DD, CL/T attack SS by default. The aviation ships require planes/gyros to attack SS. Any ship that can attack SS will only target SS until the SS are dead.

Detection mostly depends on LOS and high level ships/carriers have high LOS. Air supremacy requires higher air power than the opponent fleet, unless if you both have 0.

Recon seaplanes don't get targeted by enemy AA, so they reduce bauxite cost a lot. Their main use is for artillery spotting and for branching rules that depend on LOS. Zuiun aren't much better than recon seaplanes most of the time since the slot sizes on CAV are not high enough to allow for damage.
