Hakuryū — Japanese Tier X aircraft сarrier.

An aircraft carrier designed to be an enlarged and enhanced version of the Taiho class. Hakuryu was superior to her predecessor in size, armor and artillery power. Owing to an increased hangar, she could carry the largest air group among all Japanese aircraft carriers.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Highest ship speed among Tier 10 aircraft carriers
Very thick flight deck armor, preventing overmatch from even the largest caliber BB guns
All plane types are reasonably fast
Very powerful AP bombs, excellent against virtually all cruisers and battleships
Highest torpedo damage among all Tier 10 aircraft carriers
A full torpedo bomber squadron can attack a target as many as six times in a row
Good concealment

Cons:

Second lowest plane health among Tier 10 aircraft carriers after German carrier, Manfred von Richthofen.
AA defenses are strong, but inferior compared to American counterpart Midway
Weak hull armor and low hitpoint pool, Hakuryu is a fragile ship
Attack aircraft rockets have fairly low penetration and might struggle to damage heavily armored ships
Torpedo bombers drop only two torpedoes per attack run
AP bombs are mostly useless against destroyers

Research

Like other Tier 10 aircraft carriers, Hakuryu does not come elite on purchase. Players are encouraged to prioritize researching dive bombers and torpedo bombers, and leave the attack aircraft for last.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Hakuryū with Type 20 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.

Alternative space camo is available during Halloween.
