Use this only if you really need the LoS, for example if you don't have Tone or Chikuma, and you are using the south route for 2-5 using 2DD 2CA 1CVL 1CLT, you'll usually need 50+ ELoS but that's not enough to secure the pathing to the boss node which is 70+ ELoS. With 1 T2 Recon Aircraft and 1 Saiun, T0 Recon Seaplanes, RADARs for the CA and T31 AR Kai for the AACI DD and a Torpedo NBCI for the last DD, that's how I previously do 2-5 with Ryuujou K2, Fubuki K2, Shigure K2, Kako K2, Furutaka K2 and Kiso K2. I get 75.41 ELoS, but yea wasting 1 slot is waste for the CVL but  IT REALLY IS viable, That map doesn't realy need the fighter power or it maybe just me because I'm using double chevron T0 Fighter Model 62 (Fighter-Bomber) which is enough.

TL:DR - Use only for LoS requirement purposes, the contact mechanic can be ignored, AS of your fleet should handle the contact mechanic anyway.
