I will still use her more than any other carrier. So you're expecting Midway-tier CV specs on Sara Mk.2?
 * Highest HP? Check.
 * Highest FP? Probably close to Hiryuu's.
 * Highest Armor? She already is.
 * Highest Plane slot? Probably a few planes short from Kaga's.
 * Jet-launching? Depends on whether devs decides her flight deck is durable enough for it.
 * Attack-at chuuha? Not likely, her flight deck was never reinforced to that extent.
 * Night air battle: Already given.
 * Night bombing: afaik only Enterprise had really performed night bombing.

inb4 her remodels requires offering Zeroes and Reppuu to ...

Calling that Midway tier is a bit shortsighted; Essex class would already have most of that:

The 2 CVs that were the most heavily damaged and still managed to survive were Franklin and Bunker Hill, both Essexes (so high HP), All Essex planes carried Air to Surface Rockets by the last year of the war (high FP; not terribly useful against most warships, but should be devastating against installations, especially big ones like Tiny Tims), the Essexes all routinely carried 100+ planes with Lex-2 holding the record at 110, they could perform jet launches without any upgrades as evidenced by Leyte and Philipine Sea, which were never modified beyond the classic Essex form, launching jet strikes using Banshees and Panthers over Korea (never mind the jets that could be used if actually given those later upgrades, none of which included an armored flight deck mind you), and many carried night fighters by the end of the war (don't know about night bombers though). Best part though is that the Essexes used less fuel than Sara did, so they'd be cheaper to use too. Compared to that, Midway, which takes all that and runs with it over the horizon, would just be laughably OP but equally laugably expensive.
