4-5 monthly southern route with sole Kaga as CV due to night battle node requires 207 fp to AS at boss (prefinal).

2x Reppuu 601 on Kaga second and third slot yields 177 fp 1x Zuiun 12 on Fusou-class K2 last slot brings this to 200 fp

I want Saiun last slot and a bomber on Kaga's last 20 plane slot but I still need a bit more fp to achieve AS. The usual T62 fighter-bomber brings this to 214, which is just barely enough to AS at boss but not reliable due to double Wo and ugly stuffs pre-boss.

This is where Iwai T62 comes in, 238 fp offers a safe buffer, plus good shelling power and critical damage bonus.

In other scenarios, namely Spring E6H, I ran multiple CVs with 2 bombers on each CV (except for Hiryuu who only needs 1 bomber to reach firepower cap) and needed a bit more fp to AS boss with the scheme. I put a fighter-bomber (with a pure bomber) on Taihou for damage cap in chuuha state and AS at boss.

Fighter-bombers are about:
 * a little bit of buffer fighter power for AS
 * a little bit more damage to reach cap
 * enable bombing on those pesky legged DDs

Iwai T62 certainly can see good uses. I'm getting it.
