?2. Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".

Furthermore, the enhanced speed allows Indomitable to offset her increased plane regeneration time: 115 seconds without upgrades or captain skills.

Furthermore, ''Indomitable’s'' carpet bombers have a whopping 2590 base HP, higher than even Audacious’ of 2340.

|Anno= The last ship from the Illustrious-class carriers, which represented a revolutionary breakthrough in the development of aircraft carriers thanks to the introduction of an armored flight deck. In contrast to the lead ship, she had an increased capacity and could carry more aircraft.

|Performance= Indomitable joins the Royal Navy in World of Warships as its first premium Tier VIII aircraft carrier, bringing with her a very unique playstyle. Her most striking difference from Implacable, her tech tree counterpart, is a lack of torpedo bombers, forcing Indomitable captains to double down on her attack aircraft and carpet bombers. As a result, Indomitable is a very situational aircraft carrier, and must choose her targets carefully.

Indomitable’s attack aircraft have several differences with Implacable’s. While her payloads deal less total damage, Indomitable’s attack aircraft are considerably faster, cruising at a base speed of 188 knots and 228 knots with boost, allowing her to react much more quickly to opportunities and strike destroyers. Furthermore, the enhanced speed allows Indomitable to offset her increased plane regeneration time: 115 seconds without upgrades or captain skills.

Indomitable’s carpet bombers also have tweaked parameters. Indomitable’s carpet bombers have only two sets of two planes per attack flight and less bombs per payload, but an abnormally high speed for bombers of her tier: 182 knots cruising and up to 217 knots with boost. Furthermore, Indomitable’s carpet bombers have a whopping 2590 base HP, higher than even Audacious’ of 2340.

Additionally, each of Indomitable’s plane types carry 4 charges of the Patrol Fighters consumable, decreasing the number of times squadron commanders may find themselves out of fighters on a specific plane type.

  • Only two sets of two planes per run on the carpet bombers, making two full strikes a rarity

With a fully fledged 19 point captain, Improved Engine Boost, Last Gasp, and Direction Center for Fighters are Quality-of-Life improvements.

|Consumables= Like other aircraft carriers, the captain of Indomitable does not control the ship's consumables.

Indomitable equips the following consumables: Slot 1: Damage Control Party When activated, instantly repairs fires, floods, and incapacitations, and prevents more for the duration. - unlimited Slot 2: CAP Fighter A group of fighter planes launched automatically to defend an aircraft carrier.

Indomitable's aircraft can equip the following consumables: Attack Aircraft: Slot 1: {{Engine Cooling () (2 charges by default) Slot 2: {{Patrol Fighter () (4 charges by default) Carpet Bombers: Slot 1: Engine Cooling Air squadron consumable that makes more Engine Boost available. (2 charges by default) Slot 2: Patrol Fighter While active, a group of fighter planes circles a location spotting and engaging enemy aircraft. (4 charges by default)

|Camouflage= As a premium aircraft carrier, ' comes with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her service cost, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

History

HMS Indomitable (pennant number 92) was a modified Illustrious-class aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy. The Illustrious class was developed in the 1937 Naval Programme. Originally planned to be the fourth of the class, she was redesigned to enable her to operate more aircraft, 48 instead of 36. A second hangar was added above the original, raising the flight deck by 14 feet (4.3 m), although the hangar side armour had to be reduced to compensate. The lower hangar was made shorter than the upper hangar due to the need for extra workshops and accommodation to support the added aircraft.
