I've done some research on the ship and its not a CVL;; it may be a bit less than most wanted in a 3 cap carrier, but a lot a lessons learned from midway along with innovative mass production techniques
with limited war time materials made this a lot better than a Junyo or Hiyo game alike.
The Hiryu's and Soryu's of the late war era were not going to stand up to any determined USN attack; but least throwing out some cheaper 3 cap carriers later in the war would better than cap 2's;
we all know the limited value WAS style the cap 1's and 2's have.
The hairs difference in the WAS guidelines from this unit being a cap 3 surly could have had at least some limited cap SA; although who really knows what it would have carried if condition where different.
Further i think it was hard to cost it as a cap 2 with the limited SA's you could give it as an untried Class; its just one of those units you do one way or the other; i just think game wise cap 3 plays better;
The USN has its Wasp and Ranger the IJN with a 19 pt. no frills cap 3 makes it interesting.
