![]() Shokaku's stock planes in Tier VIII are what they used in 1944 when they sortied to the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The only way I see Zuikaku getting back into the game is if she was in her 1941-1942 configuration, with A6M2 Zeroes and such. I have Kaga and love the ship but I'm surprised it was chosen over Akagi even though that ship to was in early in game to before the game went live, but that is another story for another time. I would like to see both Shinana and Zuikaku in game even if they have to be premiums, of course hoping for that to happen and reality are to different things. I joke a lot about Shinano, but her sinking shouldn't be a surprise considering all the factors. ![]() On top of that, it was also well known that American submarines by this stage of the war were prowling very close. Not only that, the DD escorts she got assigned to her had just returned from the called Leyte Gulf and were exhausted, and had to turn right around and go back out to sea. Her captain pleaded with his superiors to put it off as the seals between bulkheads were not installed, but the admirals said,, comply with the orders." Shinano didn't even have her full compliment of crew. The morons that led the IJN ordered the still incomplete Shinano to move from the port where she was still being constructed to another, out of fear of American bombers. Shinano's design actually wasn't at fault either. They had the bright idea to vent aviation fuel fumes through the air ducts of the ship, turning the entire ship into one massive Fuel Air Explosive. It was an absolutely idiotic damage control team.
