Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Very powerful alpha strike power with torpedo bombers.

    I Taiho's strike loadout is far superior to that of the Essex due to it having two fighter squadrons compared to the Essex's 1, along with more strike power.

  • Much better concealment than her American counterpart.
  • AA is quite good on the second hall.

Cons:

  • Fighting an air superiority Essex can be a big challenge due to the amount planes an Essex can have in the air at one time.
  • As to be expected on fleet carriers, it is very sluggish to maneuver.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As a carrier at Tier IX with all six possible upgrade slots, it's best to mount Air Groups Modification 1, Flight Control Modification 1 (for faster aircraft servicing time / rearming time) or Air Groups Modification 2 (for better fighter capability in fighting enemy fighters and taking down enemy bombers), Air Groups Modification 3 (for better plane survivability due to the powerful anti-air armaments of cruisers at this tier), Damage Control System Modification 1, Damage Control System Modification 2 (if the player chooses to use Emergency Takeoff Skill and does not have Damage Control Party ready) or Propulsion Modification 2 (if the player feels the need to relocate and avoid enemies is more important), and Concealment System Modification 1 on Taiho.

Commander Skills

As Taiho is a Tier IX carrier, the player has access to the special 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. Or, as Taiho has access to the Concealment System Modification, the player can opt to choose to utilize the Concealment Expert skill as an indirect form of further protection from enemy ships (with skill, camouflage, and upgrade, detection is 10.35km).

Consumables

As a Tier IX carrier, Taiho has access to the following consumables:


Premium Defensive AA Fire 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 the chance of being detected.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Taiho with Type 19 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.

Signals

As a carrier, Taiho 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), November Echo Setteseven (for better bomber self-defense against fighters and increased AA DPS), 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.


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