How penalised on every carrier? At 12m wingspan it fits comfortably on the elevators of Unryu, Taiho and Shinano. I didn't realize that this paragraph was referring to Shinden Kai, here's my reply:

Shinden Kai fits no aircraft carrier at all (since it didn't even exist in real life). Actually Shinden's shape is destined to be a bad design for carrier operations. Its pusher configuration (having its propeller at the rear end) means it's impossible to install a tail hook on it. It also features a constant-speed, variable-pitch propeller which is very complicated, not suitable to carriers whose maintenance/repair ability is rudimentary.

So we have a fighter that can't land on nor receive proper maintenance from our carriers. How can that thing go un-penalized if the fitting/overweight penalty system is to be introduced?
