Personally, I've long disregarded the game's star system as a way to gauge both performance and rarity. They've just been randomly assigning whatever the hell amount of stars they see fit for a while now, they don't mean jack anymore, IMO...

I see where you're coming from on its stats, but what we got is still pretty close to what you were expecting. I'm with you on the armor. I do think 8 AA is acceptable. This baseline F6F-3 out AAs the Type 52 Zero, as one expects it should, along with a nice stat spread compared to nothing on the 52. I'm confident a skilled, later model, or special squadron Hellcat would have better stats than a Type 53 Skilled. Whether we'll actually get one is the question. But for a base model F6F-3, I think it's quite satisfactory.
