Shokaku, it's cheaper and airfield strike is right next to useless.

Shokaku, for the reasons previously stated. Although, it should be said that Zuikaku certainly has a cooler paint scheme....

I've witnessed Airfield Strike work well but..
Flag 1 + Expert Bomber 2 for 2 points less? Shokaku gets my vote.

Might as well ask if Kongo is better than Haruna.

Oh, it certainly is, but its the same sort of thing. A reprinted sister with a questionable SA and no Flag and at a greater cost.

I think I tried to post on here earlier, perhaps it ended up in a different thread.  Well, here goes.  I take Shokaku, it's cost makes it versatile, it fits in so many builds.  Even though Soryu's dogfighter 2 might make Zuikaku's airfield strike a bit better, it's still not worth the extra points ... unless you want to pay for the paint job.

Nope, that's part of the beauty of it, to see whether the other guy gets it or not.

Shokaku... because Expert Bomber 2 is needed to make up for the under-weight (compared to U.S. dive-bombers) base payload of IJN dive-bombers. And it can take a bit of abuse. Not that I dislike Soryu, but it just doesn't have the robustness of the Shokaku.

Shokaku- Best IJN Carrier in the game.  Points and Abilities make it a steal for a 3 based carrier.

I think, only the camoflage of the Zuikaku is superior to the Shokaku.
