Contact is one of those things that I think is overlooked. I've read the Combat page several times, but this is the first time that the Contact section even registered in my mind as I read through it. It's vague and doesn't say really describe what it does.

Zuiuns aren't that much better than Type 0 Recons as they are at risk of being shot down and losing LoS as a result. They are much better for sub-hunting I find (My Hyuuga and Ise are stacked with Zuiuns for 1-5). I recall somewhere in the Summer event comments that the seaplane bombers don't equalify for the 2x LoS calculation as they are strictly not recon planes. I don't use KancolleViewer so maybe someone who does can confirm.

Throwing Reppus usually helps keep the LoS up on CVs... with the exception of one situation, E-3(MI-1) north route. You can actually lose all your attack planes after pre-boss node (Midway Princess). I was shocked to find that my Tomonaga/Egusa squads were reduce to zero, but that lines up with the sheer bauxite intensive nature of the map.
