Torpedo planes, dive bombers, and attack aircraft (carrying rockets) are used to take out the opposing team's surface vessels, while the limited number of fighter consumables can be used to provide temporary protection for allies, or to provide passive scouting of an area. This guide will try to explain the basics of the CVs gameplay and help new players with few advices, so if you think that “clickers” only ruin the good game you are in the wrong topic. Greetings Captains, if you are reading this guide you are probably new here or just have some questions about the Aircraft Carriers (CVs). Your aircraft carrier transports aircraft that are ready to take off at your order from the first moment of a battle, so now you don't have to wait for a squadron to get ready for takeoff. The most important upgrade (from tier 5 upwards) will be the “Flight control” as it will modify your squadrons and choose your role. If enemy bombers or enemy ships are following them and there is no one to cover you direct your planes to another position, away from you. Your first port of call for new ship releases! Don’t spare him that flyback time!2) If you can choose where to start the air battle ( the enemy is chasing you) look for some friendly ships nearby and fly over them. Learn how to use swift fighters and deadly bombers in online naval battles! In this panic mode they move 25% slower slower (only if attacked by fighters) and drop the torpedoes in a huge spread.We’ve covered the attacks, but what to do during the rest of the time? After that you can change from which side to attack by moving the attack point with the mouse and the AI (Artificial Intelligence) will do the rest for you.After playing few battles you will notice that the torpedoes are dropped too far away and the target can evade them. You should predict the enemy turn, because the bombs are dropped in ellipse. If you set the attack after they’ve entered this white circle they will turn back and start new approach to the target.3) From the attack point they will fly in a straight line and drop the torpedoes at that point. This will allow you to score multiple hits at once and kill that target.The most important thing is not to drop the torpedoes too close, because they won’t have enough time to arm and that’s just a wasted attack as they won’t exlode when hitting the target. Climbing on the CVs tree you will gain you access to bigger Aircraft Carriers holding more planes and you will be commanding more squadrons. Note that you can’t control them after they start the attackt, so you can’t abort it anymore!4) The torpedoes need some time to arm and if they hit the target before they are armed (have the green triangle over them) they won’t explode and won’t cause any damage. You do not directly participate in combat, but are able to influence the flow of battle from a safe distance like no one else can, scouting, reinforcing a crumbling flank, providing additional presence to a sector that your team has committed fewer ships to, or even breaking up entire battleship formations to tip the scales in favor of your team. New players will prefer the auto attack and the veterans will choose manual attack for better effect. You should always keep that in mind, because you have only limited amount of planes avalible for the battle. In the new concept, keyboard and mouse become equally important tools for controlling your aircraft. In this case:On that picture you can also see how many planes you currently have. Aircraft carrier captains can, for the most part, keep their vessel far from the main action of a battle, and instead participate in the battle with individual squadrons of strike craft. Planes however land faster if you don’t move, so sometimes it’s wise to stop if you have lots of planes to recover. Although there is no limit to the total aircraft reserves of a carrier, long aircraft rearm times and large squadron sizes at higher tiers can make the loss of an entire squadron of aircraft a significant handicap to the team. They will be used to replace the destroyed aircrafts during the service time on the carrier.
And that’s not always team’s fault, but yours, because it’s up to you defend them from the other CVs and help killing dangerous targets.Your priority is the enemy CV, but it’s hard to get him, because he is far far away protected by his team. After they are gone you are nothing more then a big target and best you can do is to try and ram someone.In the port you will be able to research new modules for your CV making it even better. The USN CVs have much tighter spread and can land all of their torpedoes.They kinda switch places on the high tiers (9-10) where the USN CVs get 2nd TB squadron and have better strike setups that pack more damage, while the IJN CVs get nice universal flight deck configurations with many fighters, so they are no longer outnumbered.I hope you will find something useful for yourself in this guide.Can the Fighters change speed, fly faster?
You will be using the following key a lots: 1,2,3,4,5…9, “Alt”, “LShift”, “F”, and “Space”.LShift – to change the camera view (of the ships or the selected squadron) / holding LShift and clicking on the map will create waypoints;F – to order your planes to take off or land on the carrier.
wait him to repair and hit with others (if you have more then 1 TB) or use the DBs to start fires.And now the main question that will probably come from the new players – which line should I start with?Well he have 2 CV lines right now – USN and IJN with with their pluses and minuses. Do not forget to be on the lookout for sneaky destroyers or enemy aircraft seeking to destroy you; your ability to influence a battle makes you a priority target for the enemy.
