and if you are at the level to be able to K2 her, at that point resource consumptions shouldnt be a huge issue anymore She goes from 65/70 to 90/85 and 100/85

Even the previously worst consumption CVs, Kaga and Taihou only do 80/80 and 90/75 respectively.

This may not seem like much, but for people running 5-4 to gain rank, she becomes quite bad to field as that extra consumption piles up with multiple runs.

Unryuu-class does 50/55, so Shoukaku Kai Ni A consumes twice the fuel.

At the very least, for leveling Shoukaku, it's way better to use her in Kai to get to 88 before remodelling into Kai Ni or Kai Ni A. For 65>>100 increase, that will be a 7 fuel per node increase, 28 per run. Not that unacceptable if you ask me. Think about the reduced risk of retreating due to chuuha, and the future preveilege of launching jets. You pay for the combat capability you get, in this case fuel for armored carrier capability and medium range. It's gonna be a bit handful fielding both her and Zuikaku at Kai Ni though, armored or not... actually most of my retreats was because of random taihas due to squishy CVLs...
