Kaga B — Japanese special premium Tier VIII aircraft сarrier.

After the Great Kanto Earthquake destroyed the aircraft carrier while it was under construction, it was decided to switch to rebuilding Kaga's hull—a process that had stopped amid the Washington Naval Treaty restrictions. The project mirrored aircraft carrier Akagi, except for the location of the funnels and the availability of a short flight deck. Kaga participated in the Shanghai incident and the Sino-Japanese War. After her modernization was completed, she participated in the Pearl Harbor attack, the Battle of Rabaul, the Marshall Islands campaign, and the Darwin bombing.

Player Opinion

Performance

Kaga B is a Tier VIII premium Japanese aircraft carrier. Unlike Saipan’s style of having fewer, higher tier aircraft, Kaga B instead provided her captain with large numbers of lower tier aircraft. She is able to launch copious amounts of bombers at the enemy team, but must be careful of the anti-aircraft abilities of same and higher-tier ships. With proper target selection and flak avoidance, Kaga B can strike even Tier X targets and still have full squadrons ready to go in the latter stages of the game.

Unlike the IJN tech tree carriers, Kaga B has HE dive bombers. She drops four bombs per drop with 3 drops per squadron. What makes these dive bombers special is not the bombs, but the attack pattern. The dive bombers dive low very quickly and travel laterally at a very low height at fast speeds, which allows players to drop on targets at a very low height and ensure a high percentage of bomb hits. This is very useful for dropping maneuverable targets such as destroyers and light cruisers. The low height of the drop allows several bomb hits on destroyers per attack, dealing high amounts of damage in proportion to their maximum health.

Kaga B's torpedo bombers are also powerful, but take practice to use. The torpedo bombers drop four torpedoes per drop with 3 drops per squadron. Stealth is one of the biggest strengths of the torpedo bombers, with a base detect of 7.5km. Kaga B can use this stealth to get a perfect drop angle on targets without the target knowing that they are being targeted. Aim time is another strength of the torpedo bombers, with the lowest aiming time of all Tier VIII carriers. However, the biggest drawback of the torpedoes is long arm time. Due to this, dropping on more agile targets is not advised. Thus, the torpedo bombers are best suited for landing hard hits on slower targets like battleships.

Her rocket aircraft should only be used as a last resort. The rockets are stock Shokaku rockets, except with less health. Dive bombers do a better job on smaller targets, and torpedo bombers do a better job on larger targets.

Pros:

  • Ridiculous amount of planes immediately available on deck
  • Torpedo bombers can reach as low as 6.1km detectability with the right upgrades
  • Torpedo bombers drop four (4) torpedoes per attack run
  • Dive bombers are accurate and use HE bombs, unlike techtree Japanese carriers
  • Heavy secondary armament for self-defense
  • Very good ship concealment with all the relevant upgrades

Cons:

  • Poor ship mobility - not the best speed, huge turn radius and slow rudder shift
  • Planes have a low healthpool and are not very fast
  • Ineffective rockets with low penetration and damage
  • Aerial torpedoes have an extremely long arming distance
  • Torpedo bombers and dive bombers fly in large squadrons, vulnerable to enemy flak bursts
  • Plane restoration is very slow for a Japanese aircraft carrier
  • Kaga B's hull is poorly armored and can take heavy damage from pretty much anything
  • Hull secondary armaments have very poor range

Research

As a Premium ship, Kaga doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Camouflage

As a Black Friday ship, Kaga B comes included with the "special" camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
