Speculation fodder: if the devs decide to give us Shinano, what would be her stats?

- Nagato-class HP and armor: Yamato-class hull, but being a CV she's not as sturdy, and had severe design flaws. - Able to launch planes when chuuha'd: she had an armored deck, like Taihou. - ~120 max plane capacity, with a big slot of ~52 planes (Kai): according to the wiki, her squadrons numbered 47 planes, and her hangars had capacity for 120 reserves. - Married Yamato-class level consumption: she had the same propulsion power as Yamato, with slightly less displacement, which could improve her fuel consumption. - Slightly lower than Yamato-class level repair costs: Yamato-class hull, not as bulky (big open hangars with steel shutters). - Taihou level luck: despite her size, all it took was 4 torpedoes to send her to the depths. - Comes with 12.7cm HA sec + 25mm twin AA gun + AA rocket launcher, 4 slots from stock: no planes, as she had none when sunk. 4 slots, because Yamato-class HUEG. - Requires lvl 50 + blueprint to Kai: Musashi Kai'd at 40, Yamato Kai'd at 60, Shinano Kai would be a "what if" remodel. - Remodel comes with Reppuu Kai, Ryuusei Kai (Skilled) and Saiun: her designated squadrons were Reppuu, Ryuusei and Saiun, but since this is a "what if" remodel *wink wink*. Ryuusei Kai (Skilled) would be a new unique torp bomber with stats slightly superior to Tenzan Tomonaga/Murata.
