To answer your first question: I'm wondering if can you get the standard x1.5 Crit during a Night Battle. Given the variance in damage the 2/3 to 4/3rds random multiplier to Armor causes, the extremely high damage numbers we see during Night Battles and the fact that the x1.5 Crit has no cue animation that I am aware of, the only easy way to be sure that you got a Crit is to get a damage number SO high that it cannot be anything but confluence of a low Armor roll, a cut-in and a Crit.

For the second comment, you're completely right that for actual gameplay Fighter quality is more imporant than small differences in slot size and that you're very rarely going to be running four-fighter setups. I'm just Theorycrafting.

By my calculations, at 4 Reppus, Taihou has 181 Fighter Power, where Shoukaku has 182 due to rounding (which may not even happen). As I said the difference is extremely tiny, what I was emphasizing is that even though Taihou has a greater total plane count, the total multipliers provided by her slots are smaller than Shoukaku's, which is important to understanding the mechanics of Plane Slots.
