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
Performance
Pros:
- Can put several squadrons into the air at any given time, especially strike aircraft
- Carrier itself has good concealment values
- Deck does not burn easily
- A daunting thing to be wary of in high tier matches
- Fighters are rather sound at their tier
Cons:
- Small squadron size which makes it a bit easy to have fighters intercept them
- Fighters are still swamped by US fighters in dogfights
Research
This is a suggested research path:
- Mitsubishi A8M fighters
- Nakajima C6N1-B torpedo bombers
- Wakusei dive bombers
- Type 10 mod. 2 or mod. 3 Flight Control
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As a Tier X carrier with all six possible upgrade slots, the following upgrades are recommended on Hakuryū:
- Slot 1:Air Groups Modification 1, in order to improve the fighters' damage capabilities and increase their chances of winning dogfights.
- Slot 2:Air Groups Modification 2, in order to further improve the fighters' chances of winning dogfights through increasing their survivability.
- Slot 3:Air Groups Modification 3, in order to improve bomber survivability when attacking ships of this tier, due to the powerful nature of anti-air at this tier and Tier X.
- Slot 4:Damage Control System Modification 1 is the top pick of the bunch, in order to reduce fire and flooding chance on the ship (as carriers rarely have their engine or rudder incapacitated).
- Slot 5:Propulsion Modification 2, so that captains can quickly relocate their ship if any potential threat is approaching quickly.
- Slot 6:Concealment System Modification 1, in order to greatly decrease the chances of being detected.
Commander Skills
Hakuryū uses the standard IJN CV 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 still useful despite Hakuryū’s planes being top tier as the bonus to ammunition allows her fighters to remain airborne longer before returning to rearm.
For AA defense, Hakuryū has medium-caliber 100mm 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 Hakuryū is a Tier X carrier, the player has access to the special IJN carrier Defensive Fire consumable, 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 Defensive Fire.
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. Hakuryū is large and unarmored, and will not survive an attack by any ship larger than a destroyer. Hakuryū 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.
ATTENTION
- Due to dive bombers having over 100% chance of causing fires, Demolition Expert is not recommended.

Consumables
As a Tier X carrier, Hakuryū has access to the following consumables:
Premium Defensive AA Fire 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). Premium Damage Control Party II is not recommended as it is only needed in dire moments, or when the player is the last one alive.
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 are recommended to equip Hakuryu with the permanent Type 20 camouflage rather than the pay-per-battle premium Type 6 camouflage as the permanent Type 20 lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces cost of repairs, and increases the amount of credits and experience she earns. The premium Type 6, unlike the permanent Type 20, does not provide repair cost reduction benefits nor does it increase the amount of credits earned.
Signals
As a carrier, Hakuryū can only mount at most four signals at a time and has no risk of detonating. Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (for faster XP grinding / increased XP gain per battle), Zulu Hotel (when coupled with Equal Speed Charlie London greatly helps increase commander (re)training), and, for the last two / pair, November Echo Setteseven (for better bomber self-defense against fighters) and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (to have a better chance at causing flooding and dealing damage via flooding). Players can also choose to equip the Dragon Flag for faster commander (re)training.
ATTENTION
- Due to dive bombers having over 100% chance of causing fires, Victor Lima and India X-Ray are not recommended.
