Lastly, Hakuryu offers a huge hangar of up to 26 torpedo planes which allows for multiple chances to make plays. When the heal is active, it is difficult to shoot down Haku's torpedo bombers which can then almost guarantee a strike even when punching through the heaviest Anti Air. The repair party consumable has a quick reload time along with an extra charge when compared to other Tier X carriers. In addition, these planes are stealthy with a base detection of 7.5km, allowing skilled pilots to ambush an unsuspecting enemy.
