I have been reading a bit, i will share some of my own opinion.

With this new chevron meta, CV's in general have become much more powerful, however, equal slots is still not good, the summer event would prove us that even Kaga, with her biggest slot had a chance to lose everything to those pesky enemy AA-cut in. However, that is rare, while Shoukaku class will suffer from it much more because of her balance and mediocre numbers on per slot. Low FP is not exactly helping either, so in the end, if you compare Shoukaku class with the top tier CV's like Kaga, Hiryuu, Souryuu, Akagi or Taihou. Shoukaku class will always fall behind, at least for now. Beside that, most people don't compare the general stats like HP, evasion and so on, that is also a factor that many people overlook, Shoukaku class HP, evasion is infact pretty good.

Another part is, don't compare Unryuu class to the top tiers CV's, they was never meant to be úber good CV's and yet, at least my opinion, they are one of the best, they are excellent support, they are perfect for 5-4 while you rank, they are in general, perfect for normal maps, even event maps for earlier stage, rather good FP and pretty balanced slot as i prefer and final, they are cheap. However as i mentioned before, they are not top tier and will never be it.

This summer event would be my first to use Shokaku class again since 2014 spring event, not because i need them for the stats but because i need them for shiplocking.
