I was thinking, if Shoukaku survived the Marianas campaign (where her and others' air groups suffered greatly, and was sunk by submarine), will she gain stats based on that/those battle/s?

I don't know about the other shipgirls who had their second (hypothetical) remodels, nor do I know their last battles, but does it apply to them? It sure is importnant.

Take a look at Soryuu/Hiryuu's K2 (hereafter referred to as 2nd Car Div K2), they were carrying Midway equipments, and received a hell lot of stat increase. But was the increase "based on that battle", it's very hard to say. 2nd Car Div historically didn't have much features that can be easily presented as a in-game mechanism, while Shoukaku may just have.

Here's a couple of examples of hypothetical remodels:

2nd Car Div: historcal planes

Fusou & Yamashiro: Planned air squadron and stat changes according to the historical design

Unryuu-class: Probably planned air squadrons

Taihou: Stats and looks based on planned successor, the Kai-Taihou class.
