My spreadsheet tells me the kind of numbers I should expect to see but really given the extreme variance of the Armor roll, they need to roll low for armor and you need to crit for numbers to jump high enough (500+, and only on ships with moderate armor) for me to say for sure 'yeah you can also crit at night'.

Re: Taihou vs Shoukaku, the difference IS extremely tiny, but it's present because of the square roots. Sqrt(30) - sqrt(24) (Taihou's slot that's bigger than Shoukaku's) is smaller than sqrt(12) - sqrt(8) (Taihou's slot that's smaller than Shoukaku's), even though the difference in Taihou's larger slot is bigger than the difference in Shoukaku's larger slot.
