THe reason why the devs made it so that she can change between roles is up to the player to decide.

As a standard carrier she has excellent stats because of her sheer number of planes and enhanced evasion stats on par with other kai ni carriers.

On the other hand remodelling her as an armored version decreases the overall plane count but makes it more specialized because of the 34-plane first slot, and the ability to attack in shelling phase even on moderate damage.

In situations where air superiority is contested, tsu-class presence, or in carrier-heavy nodes, the standard form may be more useful to secure the needed air power through a high plane count.

However, in long maps that require 4-5 nodes of combat,  fuel maelstroms that drop ship evasion,  gold bb's that has a high chance of rendering a carrier to moderate damage, the armored version can see more use.
