I cant tell whether she was unlucky or simlpy poorly commanded because she was sent out to sea with a poorly trained crew (getting lost inside ship and flooded wrong tanks that increased the listing), incomplete construction (bulkheads not properly shutted) with a tiny escort fleet (3 destroyers) knowing its enemy sub territory right outside their doorstep by that time of the war.

Its probably going to be just as bad as Taiho but hopefully not worse (well, cant really be much worse anyway), for what its worth it did took 4-6 torpedoes before capsizing. Shinano technically did have better fire/fuel protection than Taiho. I can totally see the misfortune tea party mission coming up though.
