Eh, just want to point out something about that "lower gun stat" thing you said. Because of of how carrier damage is calculated, Taihou with 80 gun stat would do 175 damage (before additional calculations), meanwhile, if a CA had 80 gun stat, they'd do 85 damage (before additional calculations), and 102 damage (before blah blah) during a single attack in an artillery spotting double attack.

Long story short, because of the difference in formula, perhaps the need of launching attack planes is a way to limit us with bauxite costs?

And on the subject of abyssals, that whole "if they can do it, we should be able to too" mentality doesn't fare well. I mean, just look at the difference between thier Aviation Battleships and our Aviation Battleships.
