Analysis

Priority:

Kai: Medium

Her Kai suffers from a lack of firepower which means she is lackluster at shelling. Her good plane count is somewhat let down by the even slot distribution but that makes her flexible since she can increase or decrease the amount of fighters or bombers she takes without compromising too much. This does make her a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Kai Ni: Low

Her Kai Ni improves upon everything her Kai can do but at a steep cost. It does bring a significant increase to her firepower which increases her combat ability. Now, she can do powerful shelling attacks in addition to her airstrikes.

Kai Ni A: High

Her Kai Ni A increases her firepower further and provides a significant upgrade to her slot distribution. She now gets a large top slot and a respectable 2nd slot that makes her even better at being a shelling carrier. She does lose her flexibility with her plane loadouts but that doesn't matter much. In addition, she also gains the ability to shell while moderately damaged. All this makes this remodel well worth the expense.

↑ The treaty expired in December 1936, she was laid down in December 1937.
↑ Referring to the Battle of Midway which saw Akagi, Kaga, Hiryuu and Souryuu sunk. Shoukaku and Zuikaku did not participate due to damage sustained in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
↑ Shoukaku was severely damaged in Operation Mo by USN carriers.
↑ Shoukaku was sunk at the Battle of the Philippine Sea known in Japan as the 'Battle of Marinara'.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ In every battle Zuikaku fought with Shoukaku, Zuikaku managed to escape undamged or with minor damage.
↑ She was sunk by the USS Cavalla at the Battle of the Philippine Sea.
↑ During the Battle of Coral Sea, Zuikaku, distant by around 1km, was under cover of a squall when American bombers arrived over the IJN carriers, forcing the enemy to focus on Shoukaku. Heavily damaged after the battle and being chased by submarines, Shoukaku nearly capsized in the squall, on her way back to Japan, due to amount of water she took while going at full speed.
↑ During the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, Shoukaku was hit by multiple bombs that ruined her flight deck and rendered her unable to continue air operations.

Trivia

Her name means "Soaring Crane".

The "A" (甲) in her Kai Ni A stands for "Armoured".
Sunk by American submarine USS Cavalla on 19 June 1944.

Behind the Design

Konishi has noted in the artist interview in the Mel Febri Magazine released back in December 2013 that while he was working on the designs of Shoukaku and Zuikaku, both girls were originally design with an identical design as if they were almost twins based upon thier appearance. However, he was not satisfied with how they appeared and chose to redesign both of the ship girls before they were released for the Spring 2013 Event. In the end Konishi was able to finish and finalize the design of the Shoukaku and Zuikaku that players know today on May 16th, 2013, one day before the Spring 2013 Event was released.
