?Rightly dubbed as the "Sky Hammer" due to the notion that she can have a lot of squadrons in the air at any given time, the Hakuryu is a battleship's worst nightmare, with special mention to the Yamato which was sunk by aircraft during her very last sortie, as she can field a large number of squadrons, one particular loadout having six strike aircraft at her disposal, to destroy any capital ship or a standard ship in the water. The cost of having a large number of squadrons in the air however is the fact that each squadron has a small air wing than their US counterparts and can be easily destroyed by a very solid AA screen or good fighters that can intercept the planes. The carrier is no slouch when it comes to visibility as being large as she is, she has a rather reasonable concealment value, better than her counterpart the Midway.

?The Hakuryu (白竜, "White Dragon") is based of Project G15 "Taiho-Kai," an improvement upon the Taiho class. The G15 was designed to correct many faults found in the Taiho after launch, as well as to improve survivability and airgroup size. Seven G15s were planned to be laid down between 1944 and 1945, with a completion date around 1947 to 1948.

She was to be larger, better armed, better protected, carry a larger airgroup, and would've corrected the numerous flaws found in her predecessor's design. Seven of the class were planned to be laid down between 1944 and 1945 with an expected completion date between 1947 and 1948. However, the project was suspended after the Battle of Midway in order to focus construction efforts on the smaller ''Unryu''-class before finally cancelled in August of 1943 in order to concentrate development on the smaller less expensive G18 class.

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.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Commander Skills

Consumables

Hakuryū can equip the following consumables:

All aircraft carrier consumables are automatically activated.

Attack Aircraft:

Torpedo Bombers:

Bombers:

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.

Signals

As a carrier, Hakuryū has no risk of detonating. Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), Zulu Hotel (🚫), and, for the last two: November Echo Setteseven (+5% continuous damage by all AA guns, +5% damage per second within the explosion radius of shells fired from medium- and long-range AA defenses.) and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (+15% chance of causing flooding. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.).


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
