Edit: I realised that FP meant "Firepower" not "Fighter Power", but here's the deal: after the Aircraft Proficiency system, base fire power seriously matters a lot less. Not just that aerial battle phase became more powerful, but also that carriers' barrage phase damage is now determined more by aircrafts (type and proficiency) they carry, and less by their base firepower. Lol aircraft proficiency is all post-cap so firepower still matters just as much.. I will agree that shoukaku/zuikaku are better than others when losing bomber slots becomes a risk since they have 24 slots instead of having to rely on 18-22 slots.

But there is the fact that it's easier to reach cap with being able to carry fewer fighter planes.

But we'll see.
