You get out of it what you're willing to learn to put in it...and yes it takes a combo of right mods for each.
I just ran into one large convoy of 40 ships and as I escaped it here comes another...almost did me in...Went for a quick refit at Guam and sat in the Sibuyan Sea for battle of Leyte and watched 100 US planes attack Kurita's Center Force...I'm tracking ahead waiting until damage is done and I'll go in for some easier kills. Sure hope they get lots of bombs in the Yamato.
Here's a couple recent battles.
