OP here, but now with an account. Having gotten Taihou and tried her out for a bit, she is definitely more than worth it. She has just the right mix of air power and firepower to be relevant in both roles at once. Even with 1 Suisei M12A, I've seen her take out heavy cruisers and battleships with a bit of luck, even in the orange; a feat that Kaga couldn't pull off. Other carriers usually can't get much punch once they are using 3 slots on fighters and Taihou is basically the only one that can counter attack after being hit first. I am still not sure if her lower dodge has had much effect, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal, and she does go into the orange more often than the red. All in all, my most used and reliable carrier and I don't care if its costing me more to deploy her.
