Lowest HP? Her basic form has more hp than any other non-remodelled CV and more hp than Hiryuu and Soryuu after remodel. After you remodel her, it's true that her hp doesn't raise that much, but her evasion without remodelling is just 2 points less than Shoukaku, so really there isn't big difference, as for after remodelling you can't truly say without seeing her max evasion stat as there are so many ships who have low basic stat but after leveling it's pretty high. Now notice that luck isn't stat you really know what it does. We know that higher luck = higher chance for cut-in for sure, but CVs doesn't attack at night at all so luck for her is useless while Mutsu would do this cut-in, so her luck is more important. She consumes as much resources as other CVs, she can just hold more planes = she potentially can cost more, but since Kaga can have even more planes then Kaga costs even more! Also notice that she has rather well balanced slots for planes just like Kaku sisters, but she has even more planes than them, so if you combine higher firepower and more planes... this will do even more damage! I bet her damage output would be higher than Kaga's just because this 10 more firepower even if she has those 12 planes less(which still places her as second highest amount of planes!). Again about luck, high luck is 30, 40, 50, so about 20 more than average luck, but 4 luck is just 6 less than average luck, so again difference is a bit lesser! How do you think she will be repaired more if she has that much armor? I don't think if you noticed that she has nearly as much armor as BB! Yes! And Nagato and Mutsu have high evasion stats? No! Taihou has much more evasion than them and she has high speed, so comparing her even to Kongou class she looks rather awesome...

Don't you think?
