Hermes — British Tier IV aircraft сarrier.

One of the first aircraft carriers of special construction in the world. The ship featured very good speed for her time, had armor protection similar to that of a cruiser, and carried quite a powerful secondary battery. One of her drawbacks was the small size of her aircraft hangar.

Player Opinion

Performance

Hermes is a good mobile Tier IV CV with excellent planes. Her torpedo bombers allow you to drop multiple torpedos due to its good turning radius and intuitive aiming guide. Although the HE bombers lack penetration on tier 4 and below battleships, they are highly effective against cruisers. Attack aircraft arm and launch rockets quite fast, allowing you to make mistakes and still get hits. Also they are very effective in hunting and killing enemy destroyers. Overall, Hermes players should maximize their damage with carful target selection and DOT damage through floods and fires.

Pros:

Good HP for a Carrier, with only 500 HP difference to Langley.
Fastest Tier IV Carrier(Tied with Hosho)
Largest Hangar in Tier IV Carriers(at 36 planes, 12 more than Langley and Hosho)
Surprisingly good armor.
Good Torpedo damage.

Cons:

Worst Tier IV Bomber damage with only 2300 HP maximum
Worst Tier IV Carrier detection range(at 12km)
Longest Tier IV Carrier rudder shift time.
