BTW, one good way to level CVs consistently is to pair them up into CarDivs like in real life. What I've done with my CVs is pair up the kaku sisters with Zuikaku optimized for AA + 1 Saiun and and Shoukaku optimized for shelling and torping. Same with the dragons; Souryuu optimized for AA + 1 Saiun and Hiryuu optimized for shelling and torping. Both Akagi and Kaga are optimized for AA but with one slot occupied by bombers. Taihou is equipped in balanced mode because she's actually pretty useful in the shelling stage. When I need more AA, I add either Akagi or Kaga to the fleet. When I need more firepower in general, Taihou joins the fleet. When a sortie requires lotsa planes, I add one of the CarDivs. When more AA is needed on top of even that, I add either Akagi or Kaga to the fleet   already containing a CarDiv (this worked really well last event). Alternatively add Taihou for more firepower at air attack stage. In this way, the cranes and dragons level up together as pairs consistently and the special CVs tend to level up faster due to being assigned more often to CV-less fleets.
