Shōkaku — Japonska Tier VIII Letadlová loď.
The Hiryu-class heavy aircraft carrier whose design stemmed from the experience gained in building ships of the same type. 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.

Názor hráče
Představení lodi
Plusy:
- Same play style as predecessor Hiryu.
- Large hangar capacity, 72 planes in total.
- More armored than her predecessor.
- Fully-upgraded can deal huge amounts of damage to enemy ships in a single attack run.
- Excellent AA protection.
- Difficult-to-hit citadel; the hitbox is located well below the waterline.
- 34 knot top speed means easier relocation when necessary.
Mínusy:
- Expensive maintenance, especially if you are not fully upgraded.
- Poor concealment (Although purchasing the Concealment upgrade can negate the problem somewhat).
- Painful grind, expensive XP and expensive upgrades.
- Stock torpedo bomber (the Tier VI Nakajima B5N2) is highly vulnerable to the level of anti-aircraft fire she will find aboard ships in her tier.
- Loses a lot of speed during turns.
- Very vulnerable to dive bomb attacks.

Doporučená konfigurace
Vylepšení
The recommended upgrades for Shōkaku are as follows:
- Slot 1: Úprava leteckých skupin 1 ()
- Slot 2: Úprava systému řízení oprav 1 ()
- Slot 3: Úprava leteckých skupin 2 ()
- Slot 4: Úprava pohonu 1 ()
- Slot 5: Úprava maskovacího systému 1 ()
Upgrade Slot 3 is the main choice of upgrades with Shōkaku. For players looking to improve their fighter's capabilities, Úprava leteckých skupin 2 () is highly recommended, especially when using the Type 8 mod. 3 flight control system. Otherwise, the Úprava řízení letu 1 () helps players land and launch Shōkaku`s multiple flight squadrons, as Shōkaku has six separate plane squadrons to manage.
Upgrade Slot 5 offers players Úprava maskovacího systému 1 (), which stacks with Concealment Expert and camouflage to bring Shōkaku`s surface detection down to a tiny range of 9.1 km.
Kapitánské body
Shōkaku uses the standard Japanese carrier captain skill setup. Emphasis should be on skills that boost fighter and bomber effectiveness and AA protection. Aircraft Servicing Expert, Torpedo Acceleration, Torpedo Armament Expertise, and Air Supremacy are "must have" skills. Dogfighting Expert is also useful if Shōkaku faces a higher tier carrier, and the bonus to ammunition allows her fighters to remain airborne longer before returning to rearm.
For AA defense, Shōkaku has large-caliber 127mm guns that benefit greatly from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament. Basic Firing Training is also a good choice to boost all AA guns' DPS by 20%. And as Shōkaku is a Tier VIII carrier, the player has access to the special Japanese carrier version of Obranná protiletadlová palba (), which lasts for two minutes and increases the ship's AA DPS by a factor of 1.75. Coupled with Basic Firing Training and Manual Fire Control for AA Armament, the player can significantly increase the ship's AA DPS to shoot down enemy planes effectively and greatly reduce the damage taken from an enemy carrier's attack.
Evasive Maneuvers is recommended as it increases the bombers' survivability when returning to the carrier, and is especially useful when the enemy targets have activated Obranná protiletadlová palba ().
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. Shōkaku is large and unarmored, and will not survive an attack by any ship larger than a destroyer. Shōkaku captains must position their ship near friendlies and far back from the enemy fleet. Concealment Expert may be taken to further reduce detection range if the captain so desires.

Spotřební doplňky
Shōkaku has access to the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Havarijní tým ()
- Slot 2: Obranná protiletadlová palba ()
Premium Obranná protiletadlová palba II () is recommended to counter any enemy carrier's attempts to "snipe" the player (that is, by having all bombers bypass allied ships undetected and attempting to sink the player in one hit). Havarijní tým II () is not recommended as it is typically needed only in dire moments, or when the player is the last one alive.
Kamufláž
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Shōkaku with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces cost of post-battle service, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Shōkaku also has an alternate premium camouflage called "The Great Gorgon", in which she appears as she does during the Halloween scenario "Sunray in the Darkness".
Signály
As a carrier, Shōkaku can only mount at most four signals at a time and has no risk of detonating. Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (), Zulu Hotel (), and, for the last two: November Echo Setteseven () and Juliet Whiskey Unaone ().
