Audacious — British Tier X aircraft сarrier.
This heavy aircraft carrier project, designed at the end of World War II, represented a further development of the Implacable class. Her large dimensions allowed her to overcome the major drawback of her predecessors—the relatively small number of airplanes she could carry onboard. The aircraft carriers initially laid down as the Audacious class were completed much later, in the 1950s, with a significantly modified design.

Pros:
- Highest plane durability of all techtree aircraft carriers
- All plane types have a tight turn radius
- Rockets are dropped in large amounts per attack run, and cover a wide area
- Torpedoes aim quickly, have a short arming distance and a converging pattern
- Bombs have sufficient penetration and are dropped in large amounts at 18 per drop
- Both rockets and bombs are very good at igniting fires
- Thickly armored flight deck, resilient against long range fire, rockets and bombs
- Second best concealment among Tier 10 aircraft carriers
- Forced Takeoff and Landing Equipment () makes Audacious' the stealthiest and nimblest Tier 10 aircraft carrier (at the expense of plane survivability or speed)
Cons:
- All plane types are fairly slow, with attack aircraft being the slowest
- Rockets have poor damage and penetration for Tier 10 standards, though they somewhat compensate with the number of rockets dropped with each attack run
- Bomb penetration is insufficient against some battleship and cruiser decks
- Relies heavily on damage over time, predominantly fires
- Very underwhelming AA suite for a Tier 10 aircraft carrier
