Player Opinion

Pros:

• High amount of damage that can be done per attack
• Torpedo Bombers drop 3 torpedoes per attack, very good for a Tier IV aircraft carrier
• Torpedoes are relatively fast at 41 knots
• Skip bombers are highly effective against nearly every class of ship
• Rocket aircraft drop a high amount of rockets per attack, with high penetration rates and damage (for a Tier IV carrier)

Cons:

• Only 1 attack per squadron
• Low plane HP and high plane regeneration rate
• Torpedoes have a long arming distance
• Planes are slow

Research

• Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for better AA and minor other improvements. Research of this module unlocks progression to VI Serov.
