+ | 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. | |||

? | HMS ''Hermes'' was a British aircraft carrier built for the Royal Navy and was the world's first ship to be designed as an aircraft carrier, although the Imperial Japanese Navy's ''[[Hōshō]]'' was the first to be launched and commissioned. The ship's construction began during the First World War but not completed until after the end of the war, delayed by multiple changes in her design after she was laid down. After she was launched, the Armstrong Whitworth shipyard which built her closed, and her fitting out was suspended. Most of the changes made were to optimize her design, in light of the results of experiments with operational carriers. | + | HMS ''Hermes'' was a British aircraft carrier built for the Royal Navy and was the world's first ship to be designed as an aircraft carrier, although the Imperial Japanese Navy's ''[[Hōshō]]'' was the first to be launched and commissioned.

? | When the Second World War began in September 1939, the ship was briefly assigned to the Home Fleet and conducted anti-submarine patrols in the Western Approaches. She was transferred to Dakar in October to cooperate with the French Navy in hunting down German commerce raiders and blockade runners. Aside from a brief refit, ''Hermes'' remained there until the fall of France and the establishment of Vichy France at the end of June 1940. Supported by several cruisers, the ship then blockaded Dakar and attempted to sink the French battleship ''[[Richelieu]]'' by exploding depth charges underneath her stern, as well as sending Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers to attack her at night. While returning from this mission, ''Hermes'' rammed a British armed merchant cruiser in a storm and required several months of repairs in South Africa, then resumed patrolling for Axis shipping in the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. | + | When the Second World War began in September 1939, the ship was briefly assigned to the Home Fleet and conducted anti-submarine patrols in the Western Approaches.

With no air cover, the carrier was quickly sunk by the Japanese aircraft. Most of the survivors were rescued by a nearby hospital ship, although 307 men from ''Hermes'' were lost in the sinking. | |

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.
