The Hellcat is better than the Zeroes, but this is a world where every Teitoku worthy of his name has Reppus and Shiden-Kais. The Hellcat will probably be +8 or +9, the Bearcat +10 or maybe +11. BB to CL fire control will be represented by radar. It is probably inevitable they'd have somewhat better AAW and ASW stats, but they don't have to be monsters.
