IRL, Japan felt the war would be over in a few months and neglected to implement a full war footing on the home front until the outcome had already been decided.

Nothing outrageous. Better planning or not, Japan couldn't build many more big fleet units. There's a few extra Aganos, and several expanded destroyer classes, like more Shimakazes and Akitsukis.

Status: offline 		I was playing with the editor and I noticed that CS Mizuho and Nisshin are convertable to CVLs like the Chitose and Chiyoda with their own future airgroups. Shinano is now a second unit of the Taiho class even though the airgroup is the same. Hopefully at some point some one will come up with a complete list of differences. The IJN pilot situation is also a lot better with 900+ in each training group and EXP of 50.

Shinano  could still have been a CV earlier if they had decided to Convert sooner, before even Midway...and  If :) remove the bad luck of incomplete ship being moved and sunk...

So An earlier decision for more Carriers and Shinano could been indeed a Carrier built sooner of the Taiyo class..
