that's rather unfair to Taihou given that she's also an armoured CV (and she was larger than the Shoukakus, IRL-wise), plus higher plane count

...unless the extra catapult from the event hints at a future for Taihou... Some people still be wondering about the usable of many additional catapults.

The first time is when they gave a catapult as a Normal/Hard reward for E6 in Summer 2015 Event and got 2 later in the quests for making the crane sisters CVB.

And the second is this time, they gave another one in the Fall Event here.

Still be the myth when Taihou can't equip those planes... Maybe they giving out those catapults for Kuso teitokus who sunk their Shokaku or Zuikaku~ #positivethinking probably because she was low in the water IRL due to her true armored status (which is actually stupid considering they sacrificed the fuel storage protection cause she was too low in the water) and operation anything heavier would probably sink her lower in the water or increase the stress on the ship Then again, the USS Midway and her class also sat low in the water due to the weight of the armoured deck

...which was only made worse when they gave her refits in the Fifties to operate jets.

And then again, Humikane said that Taihou kai is the modified Taihou-class, so there's a chance that the exclusion problem would be rectified in a future update
