It's only -absurd amount of EXP- due to how shit leveling in 2nd Seq is.

Some people choose to improve Zero M21 Skilled directly even if it's more expensive because it's already usable to begin with, and the improvement benefits are immediate. Zero M21 normal gets improved...and benched for better planes until it reaches maximum. Then you upgrade it. Only then you can use it.

I'm of the opinion that any dupe Souryuu (and Hiryuu, if you ever get her more than once early on) is better leveled as early as possible, to stock on some bombers and Zero M21 Skilled for later use. T99 Egusa Squadron is busted and T97 Tomonaga Squadron, while only 2 points weaker than Ryuusei Kai, can compete just as fine with its +3 ACC and, being Elite Squadron aircraft, gains (small) shotdown protection in sortie.

With Tanaka nerfing artillery support expedition, you won't need more than 3 extra Souryuus, 6 tops. Having more is still good though.

...but then again my opinion usually alien.

But you do you, this is a single player game, after all. I'm just giving some (alien) reasoning.
