I'm not saying Taihou is obsolete, obviously she still has better plane slots overall. I'm just saying that Taihou is a super hard to acquire elite carrier, while shoukaku is one of the most common and yet they are currently sitting pretty toe to toe. Shoukaku has higher defenses and ridiculous firepower, while taihou has higher plane counts. Its just like how it would feel weird if they came out with a Kai-Ni for Ise and Hyuuga that put them at a comparable level to Yamatos or higher than Nagatos.
