 +The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
 +*'''Slot 1''': {{Air Groups Modification 1}}
 +*'''Slot 2''': {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}
 +*'''Slot 3''': {{Air Groups Modification 2}}
 +*'''Slot 4''': {{Propulsion Modification 1}}
 +*'''Slot 5''': {{Concealment System Modification 1}}
 +*'''Slot 6''': {{Air Groups Modification 3}}
 + 
 +'''Upgrade Slot 3''' is the 1st main choice of upgrades with ''{{#var:ship_name}}''. For players looking to improve their fighter's capabilities, {{Air Groups Modification 2}} is highly recommended, especially when using the Type 9 mod. 3 flight control system. Otherwise, the {{Flight Control Modification 1}} helps players land and launch ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s multiple flight squadrons, as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has seven separate plane squadrons to manage.
 + 
 +'''Upgrade Slot 5''' offers players {{Concealment System Modification 1}}, which stacks with [[Ship:Commander#Concealment_Expert|Concealment Expert]] and camouflage to bring ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s surface detection down to a small range of 10.7 km.
 + 
 +'''Upgrade Slot 6''' is the 2nd main choice of upgrades with ''{{#var:ship_name}}''. Due to the common presence of multiple battleships and cruisers with very high AA power, {{Air Groups Modification 3}} is highly recommended to make sure ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s planes will survive their trip to and from their target. If survivability isn't the player's foremost preference, {{Flight Control Modification 2}} is viable, increasing the speed gap between ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s and ''[[Essex]]''’s planes, allowing the smaller Japanese squadrons to outrun their American counterparts.
 + 
 +|CommanderSkills=<!-- write text about best set of Commander Skills below -->
 +''{{#var:ship_name}}'' uses the standard Japanese carrier captain skill setup. Emphasis should be on skills that boost fighter and bomber effectiveness and AA protection. [[Ship:Commander#Aircraft_Servicing_Expert|Aircraft Servicing Expert]], [[Ship:Commander#Torpedo_Acceleration|Torpedo Acceleration]], [[Ship:Commander#Torpedo_Armament_Expertise|Torpedo Armament Expertise]], and [[Ship:Commander#Air_Supremacy|Air Supremacy]] are "must have" skills. [[Ship:Commander#Dogfighting_Expert|Dogfighting Expert]] is also a useful pick for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' due to the bonus to ammunition which allows her fighters to remain airborne longer before returning to rearm.
 + 
 +For AA defense, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has medium-caliber 100mm guns that benefit greatly from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament. [[Ship:Commander#Basic_Firing_Training|Basic Firing Training]] is also a good choice to boost all AA guns' DPS by 20%. And as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a Tier IX carrier, the player has access to the special Japanese carrier version of {{Defensive AA Fire}}, which lasts for two minutes and increases the ship's AA DPS by a factor of '''1.75'''. Coupled with '''Basic Firing Training''' and [[Ship:Commander#Manual_Fire_Control_for_AA_Armament|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.
 + 
 +[[Ship:Commander#Evasive_Maneuver|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 AA 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. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is large and unarmored, and will not survive an attack by any ship larger than a destroyer. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains must position their ship near friendlies and far back from the enemy fleet. [[Ship:Commander#Concealment_Expert|Concealment Expert]] may be taken to further reduce detection range if the captain so desires.

 +|History=<!-- write text below -->
 +''Taihō'' (大鳳?) was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Possessing heavy belt armor and featuring an armored flight deck (a first for any Japanese carrier), she represented a major departure in Japanese carrier design and was expected to not only survive multiple bomb, torpedo or shell hits but also continue fighting effectively. Her name means "Great Phoenix".
 + 
 +Built by Kawasaki at Kobe, she was laid down on 10 July 1941, launched almost two years later on 7 April 1943 and finally commissioned on 7 March 1944. She sank on 19 June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea after suffering a single torpedo hit from the American submarine USS Albacore, due to explosions resulting from design flaws and poor damage control.
 + 
 +===Historical Inaccuracies===
 +* ''Taihō''’s dark gray paint scheme is missing.
 +* Light and dark green camouflage was applied to aircraft carriers in mid-1944 after the battle of the Philippine Sea; ''Taihō'' was sunk in the battle of the Philippine Sea.
 +* ''Taihō''’s actual aircraft complement consisted of 22 Mitsubishi A6M5 "Zeros", 22 Yokosuka D4Y1 "Suiseis", 3 Aichi D3A2 "Vals" and 18 Nakajima B6N2 "Tenzans".
 +* Hull (B) is fictitious; ''Taihō'' was never equipped with the 40 mm Bofors. The Japanese version of the gun had a defective fuse design which limited its effective range to ~3km.
 +* Production of the Japanese 40 mm Bofors began in late 1944; ''Taihō'' was sunk in June 1944.
 +* Development of the Yokosuka D4Y2 began in October 1944; ''Taihō'' was sunk in June 1944.
 +* The A7M1 was a prototype aircraft and only two were built.
 +* The N1K5-A designation is fictitious. The actual N1K5 only existed as a project and was intended as a high-altitude interceptor.
 +* Carrier-based versions of the Kawanishi N1K only existed as prototypes of which only three were built in total.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Very powerful alpha strike power with torpedo bombers.
  • Much better concealment than her American counterpart.
  • AA is quite good on the second hull.

Research

This is a suggested research path:

  1. Type 9 mod. 2 or mod. 3 Flight Control
  2. Mitsubishi A7M1 fighters
  3. Aichi B7A2 torpedo bombers
  4. Aichi B7A2 dive bombers
  5. Hull (B)
Researching mod. 2 or mod. 3 Flight Control depends on the player's preference.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:

Upgrade Slot 3 is the 1st main choice of upgrades with '. For players looking to improve their fighter's capabilities, Air Groups Modification 2 : +7.5% aircraft HP. is highly recommended, especially when using the Type 9 mod. 3 flight control system. Otherwise, the Flight Control Modification 1 Does not increase the maximum number of each type of tactical squadron aircraft on deck.: -5% aircraft restoration time / +2 carrier deck places available. helps players land and launch '’s multiple flight squadrons, as ' has seven separate plane squadrons to manage.

Upgrade Slot 5 offers players Concealment System Modification 1 : -10% to detectability radius. / +5% to the dispersion of enemy shells fired at your ship., which stacks with Concealment Expert and camouflage to bring '’s surface detection down to a small range of 10.7 km.

Upgrade Slot 6 is the 2nd main choice of upgrades with '. Due to the common presence of multiple battleships and cruisers with very high AA power, Air Groups Modification 3 : +5% Squadron speed. / +15% Aircraft HP. / -5% Aircraft preparation time. is highly recommended to make sure '’s planes will survive their trip to and from their target. If survivability isn't the player's foremost preference, Flight Control Modification 2 : +5% cruising speed. is viable, increasing the speed gap between '’s and Essex’s planes, allowing the smaller Japanese squadrons to outrun their American counterparts.

Commander Skills

' 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 a useful pick for ' due to the bonus to ammunition which allows her fighters to remain airborne longer before returning to rearm.

For AA defense, ' 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 ' is a Tier IX carrier, the player has access to the special Japanese carrier version of Defensive AA Fire While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased., 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 AA Fire While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased..

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. ' is large and unarmored, and will not survive an attack by any ship larger than a destroyer. ' 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.

Consumables

' can equip the following consumables:

Camouflage

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 ' 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, ' 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 (+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.
