Unless I'm missing something, why would you need to see 500+ damage crits(with non cut-ins this isn't even possible). Even doing 150 damage vs most world 5 enemies that actually make it to night battle should be hard for most ships without criticals.

For fighter power your planes matter too. As you use better fighters Taihou will pull slightly ahead, but the difference is so small it doesn't matter. With 4x Reppu both have 178, and with a Reppu Kai and 3 Reppu Taihou has 189 fighter power, Shoukaku 188. You're probably not going to use 4x fighter set-ups enough for it to matter anyway.
