I was thinking instead of only some generic improvements like FP boost and whatever plane slot change, they could give some other niche, such as yasen capability (with hopefully more potency than those pathetic Wo night attacks) so that most of the carriers have their own little speciality:

Kaga: AS queen

Nikkousen k2s: Excellent daytime offense

Crane k2s: Yasen capability

Taihou: Can operate at chuuha

Unryuus: Budget CV/support shelling

Stat-wise Akagi doesn't have a niche, but then one could say her speciality is being the starter-CV, and her stats are already good enough to be kept/used in the face of shiplocks anyway
