The biggest disadvantage with the use of the Navy is that you're putting a lot at stake, and the Luftwaffe would have surely quickly found a way to do night operations. Plus let's not forget that the Kriegsmarine could have poured in the soup some of their U-Boote to make things more thrilling at night.. it could have gone awfully different.
Exactly, just like the Battle of Britain, but it was the Germans who made the mistakes this time.

Delusional. The BBs were not required to scupper the German invasion fleet. The LW were that quick learners and implementers to overpower the destroyers and light cruisers in a few days?
