I don't disagree, those had good potentials but to our last knowledge about them, they did not stand out significantly among the rest. If they had been given a devastating DF or greatly improved during TS due to specific reason, then I can accept that but otherwise, I'm sure you can agree that comparing their battle strength at the time of the war, they are clearly still a few steps away from being as (overall) effective as the 3 admirals of the same time.

Sidenote: No apologies needed, as long as you are not trolling / spamming unnecessarily, I'd welcome any positive comments with something to discuss / argue about, anytime.
