The whole reasoning of me putting CV as flagship (for the last 20+ sorties) is to increase my chance to make it to the boss node. Both Kaga and Taihou struggled in G node, usually get hit by initial torpedoes then getting focused fire on by those two BBs

Not having the first strike didnt feel particularly worse for me with 4BB2CV, most of the time your CV will have the lowest health after the day battle and enemy AI tend to focus on low hp ships.

It is probably more relevant to admirals using 3BB3CV where there are more pressure being put onto their BB to be on target. Because of the Hime there will almost always be two ships in NB, and most of the time the boss need two hits to gaurantee its destruction. So admiral take high risks of losing one attack turn by adopting CV flagship method.
