| The notorious heavy aircraft carrier whose design stemmed from the experience gained in building the ''Hiryu''-class carriers. Compared to her predecessor, ''Shōkaku'' came with reinforced anti-aircraft armament, a larger air group and somewhat improved armor. During the course of World War II, the ship's AA capabilities were significantly enhanced. <br><br>{{Model3DViewer|0f0a58e666614c6dba1c1d9d2a32385b}}

| '''Attack Aircraft:'''
| |
| | |
| The attack aircraft have very good speed that can be used to chase down destroyers more effectively than other nation's attack aircraft. When attacking a target they have a very tight aiming circle providing good accuracy and is useful for targeting all ship types. They are also dropped in large amounts providing better chances of hitting a target. The stock planes has 8 planes with a total of 4 attack runs and 2 planes in a attack run. The researchable attack aircraft has 9 planes with a total of 3 attack runs with 3 planes in a attack run.<br />
| |
| | |
| '''Torpedo Bombers:'''
| |
| | |
| When fully upgraded, player can attack 5 times with double torpedoes per time. The torpedo range, speed and damage is excellent. With a full concealment build, players could drop their payload almost the instance the planes are spotted. The downside is that the planes are one of the weakest of all tier VIII carriers, and players need to utilize the long range of the torpedoes for longer duration of its usage. The stock torpedo bombers has 10 planes with a total of 5 attack runs and 2 planes in a attack run. The researchable torpedo bombers has the same numbers but with faster plane speed and better health.<br />
| |
| | |
| '''Dive Bombers:'''
| |
| | |
| Unlike most carriers, Shokaku uses AP dive bombers. German battleships, cruisers; French battleships; Soviet battleships; American cruisers are good candidates for citadel hits. But keep in mind that these planes are very weak and using against the aforementioned targets may not be viable from early on in the match. Use islands and target HE saturated ships for finishing or devastating blows. As the AP fuse need time to arm, using against destroyers are quite ineffective. The aiming mechanism is different from USN dive bombers as the aiming circle initially dip backward slightly before moving forward at the very last minute. This can be useful if the player overshoot the target's momentum, but with less possibility of a citadel hit. The stock dive bombers has 9 planes with a total of 3 attack runs and 3 planes in a attack run. The researchable dive bombers has the same numbers but with faster plane speed and better health.
| |
| | |
| '''Overall:'''
| |
| Shokaku is more of a anti-BB, cruiser carrier in its role as it lacks HE bombs of the Americans or the fast rockets of the British. Also it has one of the weakest planes with low health pools. This is a serious disadvantage compared to the Lexington or the Implacable as tier 8~10 battles intoduce cruisers and battleships with stong AA. Concealment of planes, use of islands to block AA are essential to keep up the air attacks till late in the game. Any vital mistakes that leads to annhiliation of squadrons will leave playes with only 1 or 2 planes per squadron. Furthermore, the ship lacks a powerful AA defense, so it is best to take advantage of her concealment and remain unspotted for as long as possible. <br />

| |Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
| |
| * Fast planes and combining her high potential damage for all plane types, she can helps support teammates often and effectively.
| |
| * Attack aircraft carry accurate rockets and are drop in large amounts per attack run that can be very effective even to battleships.
| |
| * Best aerial torpedoes in tier - high speed, good damage and long range.
| |
| * Torpedo bombers can drop 5 times in a row, assuming that no planes are lost.
| |
| * AP bombs can deal significant damage to cruisers and battleships, assuming that they hit the citadel.
| |
| * Well protected citadel and improved armor compared to her predecessor ''[[Ryujo]]''
| |
| * Fastest tier VIII carrier speed of 34 knots allows for quick relocation when needed
| |
| * Good ship and torpedo bomber concealment.
| |
| | |
| |Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
| |
| * Planes have low healthpool, careful use of planes and using tactics such as dodging flaks and careful target selection will keep her fighting.
| |
| * Rockets are not as accurate as ''[[Ryujo]]'', although this is offset by larger payload and damage.
| |
| * AP bombs are only effective against select targets, and nigh-useless against destroyers
| |
| * AP bombs often deal poor amount of damage when they don't hit the citadel of a ship.
| |
| * AP bombs can bounce, dealing no damage on target.
| |
| * Torpedo bombers only drop 2 torpedos per attack run compare to other same tier CVs.
| |
| * Enormous turn radius, loses a lot of speed during turns.
| |
| * lacks a powerful AA defense

| |
| The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
| |
| *'''Slot 1''': {{Air Groups Modification 1}}
| |
| *'''Slot 2''': {{Aircraft Engines Modification 1}}
| |
| *'''Slot 3''': {{Torpedo Bombers Modification 1}}
| |
| *'''Slot 4''': {{Torpedo Bombers Modification 2}} or {{Bombers Modification 2}}
| |
| *'''Slot 5''': {{Concealment System Modification 1}} or {{Flight Control Modification 1}}.
| |
| | |
| '''Upgrade Slot 5''' offers players {{Concealment System Modification 1}} to bring ''{{#var:ship_name}}''`s torpedo bombers' concealment down to 6.7km. This means players can start their drop well beyond the detection range of the planes and surprise ships with 5.4k range torpedoes. However, if players are losing planes faster then they anticipate, they should go for {{Flight Control Modification 1}}.

| |CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Any skills that are related to an enemy vessel firing on your carrier are not useful, as the cost-benefit of investing in survivability skills is not worth the minimal benefit they offer. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is large and unarmored, and will not survive an attack by any ship larger than a destroyer. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains must position their ship near friendlies or behind islands, away from enemy fire.

| ===History===
| |
| | |
| ====Design====
| |
| ''Shōkaku'' (Japanese: 翔鶴 "Soaring Crane") was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the lead ship of her class. Along with her sister ship ''Zuikaku'', she took part in several key naval battles during the Pacific War, including the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands before being torpedoed and sunk by a U.S. submarine at the Battle of the Philippine Sea.
| |
| | |
| ===Historical Inaccuracies===
| |
| * ''Shōkaku''’s overall dark gray paint scheme is missing.
| |
| * Light and dark green camouflage was applied to aircraft carriers in mid-1944 after the battle of the Philippine Sea; ''Shokaku'' was sunk during the battle of the Philippine Sea.
| |
| * ''Shōkaku''’s actual aircraft complement consisted of 27 Mitsubishi A6M5 "Zeros", 30 Yokosuka D4Y "Suiseis" and 18 Nakajima B6N "Tenzans" prior to the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Her sister ship, ''Zuikaku'', carried 16 Mitsubishi A6M2s, 28 Mitsubishi A6M5s, 7 Yokosuka D4Ys & 15 Nakajima B6Ns at Leyte Gulf in October 1944.
| |
| * Development of the Yokosuka D4Y2 began in October 1944; the last surviving ''Shōkaku''-class aircraft carrier, ''Zuikaku'', was sunk that same month.
| |
| * The B7A Ryūsei torpedo dive bomber was too large and heavy to serve on any Japanese carrier except Shinano and ''[[Taiho]]''
| |
| * Carrier-based versions of the Kawanishi N1K only existed as prototypes of which only three were built in total.
