The essence of your duty is to your team and by extension yourself in survivability. You will be relying on spotting damage and plane kills to bolster your EXP, for less DPS, but help your team more by living toward the end of game.
AA mods still can't defend against TX planes but will diminish their strikes and resist T8 CVs. The dispersion nerf on Smoke Generator mod is offset by the increased action time, allowing longer protective puffs of smoke to be set to cover your teams flanks. Concealment is mandatory to pick opportunistic fights or disengage.
RPF can be swapped as the second 4-point commander skill to lend support to your CV and radar cruisers, but overall the enemy accuracy debuff from Dazzling honors this build style as a true survivalist and shining towards the end of the game.
