I think I did not explain probably about the Cut in for the Fall event, sorry about that, regarding the Cut in that ignores evasion and armor, I'm speaking from the enemy's perspective (probably the developers give them an edge that is borderline cheating), and yes, I know our fleet's Cut in can miss. Hence the reason not to make comparisons on evasion for our fleet in E4. Since a Flagship CA/BB with a cut in can easily reduce Yamato to red, one can pretty much assume armor and evasion means nothing for the enemy (you're gonna need the luck of Yukikaze to clear that hellhole or a mountain of resources).

Regarding about the evasion of Taihou, okay, maybe I'm making too much of a big fuss of it. But I'm speaking in the viewpoint of using her for events where the average situation is the fleet get to the boss on at least on green hp or 1 or 2 on orange, (sortie maps I've pretty much nothing to say, any CVs' good enough to stomp it). If there is any further updates regarding her true evasion being higher, then I have no comments.

Considering the amount of resource invested to get her and the amount needed to get the pre-Taihou best CV Kaga ( I won't argue who is best CV now, there is one going on at the CV list page). I also won't compare firepower since most CVs can easily hit the shelling cap with holo planes, neither will I compare on preemptive air strike ( It's pretty useless when you're fighting against CA class and above). What boils down is surviving the Shelling phrase and Line up order phrase. Taihou has a bit more armor than the highest armor a CV can have but at a cost of heavily lowered eva out of most ships. Sure, she can still kick that SOB who crited her to orange but how will she fare at the next node?(unless it's the boss).

You can argue that we'll be bringing 5 more ships along with her but we'll never know how the enemy AI functions, they could just hit other ships or they could go for that weakest ship in orange and send her down to red. Depending on the developer's saddism, they could make most of the enemies have radars and cannons that pieces most armor like paper(aka Flagship BB). Due to that, with the amount of resources invested to get her, her stats are better be damn worth every last one of it ( Look at Yamato who also uses the same or more amount needed to acquire, her stats are worth it, sure her resupply is a maelstrom but it's worth every last one of it for both firepower AND survivalbility).

Of course, if you said 59 eva is fine then there's nothing much for me to say.
