Shoukaku looking really soft and erotic there

A BP costs you the equivalent of 12 screws.
To take one New Model Turbine and make it +7 would require 57 screws and 106 devkits.
I think it's worth it.

Planes no, but you can put the Skilled Decks Hands + Maintenance Crew item on it, which if fully upgraded gives Shoukaku/Zuikaku a +10 to firepower.
For Mogami, you can use the slot for Sanshiki Kai Ni which is a +5 firepower boost among other things, +7 if maxed.

Zuihou and Shoukaku need to be kai ni. Akagi, Kaga, and RJ should be kai ni too, but Zuihou comes first. Add any other fast CVL you can get, such as Shouhou, since fast CVLs are a major lockout bottleneck. CAVs are another major bottleneck, and Mogami is the most critical among them.

Battleship touches are the main weapon for boss fights, so you'll need Nagato+Mutsu, Nelson, and Yamato+Musashi. Otome difficulty 乙 isn't that bad, so you can aim for that if you lack Yamatos. It gets a bad rep because it's sometimes very excessive for what a second tier difficulty should be. Upper Kuso 丙 is a huge step down, and the default difficulty 甲 is a huge step up. Lower Kuso 丁 is actually easy and good for collecting ships if all else fails.

DMM has several events a year where they give out DMM points, and some quests running all the time that give a few more. If you do the DMM events you can get big discounts on adding slots for more ships.

shoukaku is so erotic

>>45804658
Thought she was a robot Shoukaku revealing the internal components inside her chest, that would have been fucking sexy.

>>45699359
You could hypothetically take them both out at the same time, but the comp would be weird. You need to use 2 of Zuikaku/Shoukaku/Akagi/Kaga plus 4 burger ships. I guess it could work. 2 of those carriers plus 2CL2DD in which all of the latter are American? I'm pretty sure that would work.
As usual, clearing 5-5 for the month may be your best bet. Gives you weaker boss nodes afterwards. Makes most quests with limiting requirements wildly easier.

>>45583553
as long I have the shoukaku/zuikaku santa cg every year, yeah.

>>45511710
Oreo Shoukaku is perfect.

>>45444967
Shoukaku is fo fucking cute

>>45343933
CV Water Oni is supposed to be abyssal Shoukaku but she resembles Suzuya a bit more here.

>>44323073
>has a day off
>could do something funny, go shopping with Shoukaku, go to the beach, do something with Katsuragi, have your weekly mud wrestling with Kaga, whatever.
>decides to clean admirals room instead
Does Zuikaku have no hobbies?

>>42858989
Shoukaku's are comically large. Zui is better

>>42776850
There's bad blood between Kaga and Zuikaku, so it shouldn't be a surprise that Kaga hates shoukaku.

Since when Kaga hated shoukaku?

Evil Shoukaku is an oreo cookie so Crane Hime would be an oreo turkey.

>>42392001
Shoukaku praying that Admiral doesn't get bombed by Zui after this ranking, good girl.
But to think Taihou is even flatter than Zui.

>>42198174
I rarely see Shoukaku/Zuikaku/Taihou get used in comps anymore.
It's all Akaga because 5 slots too strong. Sure they're armored so they can launch planes in chuuha, but most strong enemies deliver instant taiha if a shot connects anyway.

And because I feel like it, here is high-low carrier mix with in-game assets.
>Zeppelin and Aquila won't be counted, they're ass at being fleet carriers
>Won't count any Eurocarriers in general
Anyway
>Akagi/Kaga
IRL average (bet your ass they'd be on the scrapper by the fourth Unryu or second G-15 leaving the slip); in-game high.
Especially their K2s/K2Es.
>Hiryuu/Souryuu
IRL low.
In-game, low until K2. Then average.
>Hiyo/Jun'yo
IRL low as fuck (conversions, couldn't keep up with fleet)
In-game: would be low, but for some reason devs made them CVLs so they just dead-ass dominate that entire subtype (or they would, if not for their speed issues, but that's nothing a boiler and turbine doesn't fix).
>Shoukaku-class
IRL high (but preliminaries)
In-game high.
>K2
still high
>K2B
very high
>Taihou
IRL high
In-game very high
(Jet compatibility when, devs)
>Taihou Kai
Astronomically high
>Unryuus
budget bitch
>Kai
Still budget bitch
>Hypothetical Ikoma
Bitch will probably have two slots as posted B4

Okay, fine, I'll correct my error. Taihou was always going to be a single-ship class, merely a preliminary iteration of a further-improved carrier class (G-15).
The high-low mix was originally intended to be at least 3 G-15 + Taihou + 2 Shoukaku-class (the latter eventually phased out for an additional two G-15s); and 13 Unryuu-class carriers + Hiryuu + Souryuu (the latter also phased out by 2 more Unryuus at some point along serial construction).

>>42192826
>most advanced CVs
Anon, I...
The Shoukaku-class (and further development of Taiho-class) were Japan's advanced CVs.
Hiryuu and Souryuu were the pre-serial production run of cheaper fleet carriers, which then developed into the Unryuu-class. Similar to the 'high-low mix' construction doctrine, the Hiryuus/Unryuus were supposed to be mass produced for comparatively cheap costs, while the Shoukakus/Taihous would be the more rugged/expensive flattops, operating larger/more advanced aircraft. (And to further drive in this point, the Unryu-class production run lasted for five hulls before an even cheaper version - Ikoma-class - was ordered!)
Meanwhile, competitor nations picked a single fleet carrier design and went whole hog on it, because fuck high-low when you have mass average/medium. (Plus mass-low from cargo ships with flight decks stapled to the deck and barely any internal bulkheads/watertight doors, see: Bogue, Casablanca, Commencement Bay, etc.)
TL;DR the Unryus were budget fleet carriers, they're shit in-game because they were shit IRL, and if Ikoma is ever added (the devs added Zeppelin and Aquila, so...), she might be the first fleet carrier with a whopping two slots at base.

>>42154875
Shoukaku is very underrated

>>42028465
You can make arguments all day long for Shoukaku vs Zuikaku, but *Kaga* lol.
She talked big then got rekt in her first real battle, while the cranes threatened the USN for years.

>>42028363
I love Shoukaku, but small breasts and two ponytails are something hard to compete with.
