Pretty old comment to be replying to. And HiryuuK2 is hardly inferior to kaga. While Kaga works better for pre-emptive damage and Aerial Superiority, Hiryuu provides better shelling damage, which is more often more important, since carriers tend to be loaded with the typical 2x Reppu, 1x Saiun, 1x attack plane set-up. Even for regular maps that don't need a lot of effort to farm/clear, Hiryuu works better for repeated sorties due to consumption. You also may be underestimating how great evasion can be.

And just to be fair, I'll note that Kaga has plenty of things she's good at (aerial superiority, pre-empt when you can afford the space for attack planes, not bad shelling damage, staying above orange on high damage maps, and working well in an unsparkled fleet for when you don't want to go through preparation), however she's not "superior" to Hiryuu. They both have different uses that can benefit your fleet in different ways.
