>I don't know why people trust wikipedia and the "48 planes."
Maybe because especially the Japanese wiki uses actual sources unlike you?
And those sources use actual IJN and naval shipyard documents as well as interviews with former staff for their aircraft quotes. For example one source called 日本の航空母艦パーフェクトガイド』109頁("A perfect guide to Japanese Aircraft carriers" pg 109) that quotes a Japanese document called 空母及搭載艦関係報告資料 puts Shinano's aircraft at 48(24 Reppu, 17 Ryuusei, 7 saiun).
You two are really dumb. No to mention Akagi who two reconstructions had a hangars that looked like this. Because there is only so much you do
to change the hull and Akagi had three hangars not just one. Yes on paper Akagi and Kaga had a lot of volume but there was a lot of space you couldn't use efficiently even if the Japs made all of their aircraft have folding wings. Also as you can see you can indeed load aircraft through the side. Don't forget the third hanger on Akagi, Kaga, and the second hangar on the Shoukakus could only carry limited size fighters(I am not sure if they could carry the A7M and the hangar height might have been too low for folding wings). Shinano only had one hangar and probably looked even shittier than the Akagi pic related situation. I will post the Essex class hangar blue prints for comparison.
Also Shinano's ventilation got in the way pretty bad too. Shinano was also nearly halfway complete as a battleship before conversion. This is far more than Akagi, Kaga and the Lexingtons.
