saiun is indeed recon plane, but it is carrier based. there is also recon SEAplanes that can be equipped on BB/CA/some CLs, and even further bomber seaplanes that are used by BBV/CAV

probably your problem is that you didn't have enough fleet total LOS before you gained a saiun. and saiun is not mandatory to clear E1

because i did clear E1 (E2, E3 even) without a saiun :)
