Hiryuu has 79 evade.( where did the 62 come from? Her page? JP wiki and the max stats page list her as 79). Even the CVs with worst evade (Akagi, Kaga,Souryuu at 69) got 10 more evasion than her. In return, she compensates by having 5 more armour than Kaga and Akagi(highest current CV armor). While I agree she definately will not go down easily, she definately will get hit more, even as scratch damage as compared to a full miss.

I have no comments on Enemy AI since sometimes they are random but other times they will always like to focus on the lowest hp ship, which in a full BB+ CV fleet, Taihou will get targeted more.

If you're talking about Akagi being always in the red, that is always caused by the BBs which I stated in previous post that their cannons rips through all armor. 5 more armor ain't gonna save you from a crit made out of  3 X 46cm cannons that brings your hp down to critical levels. Hence the reason why evasion plays a bigger role for CV, would you want your CV to be at orange midway with one more node to the boss or have the CV at high health ready for the boss cause she evaded most attacks from previous nodes?

And also, at end game maps like 3-4, 5-1,etc, some starting node formations already have a BB elite or flagship waiting for you. Are you going to continue with Taihou already at moderate damage cause she can't evade that one hit from the BB? Sure you can put her as flagship but once she goes red, your whole fleet will be force to retreat.

Plane count wise, I rather have the Shoukaku sisters, 2 fewer planes than Taihou but much better survivalbility than her.
