Player Opinion

Performance

The Langley has the unfortunate distinction of being the slowest aircraft carrier in the game. If discovered, it can't get away from anything - not even battleships. Keep an eye on your map and start moving long before enemies get near detection range. The carrier itself starts with no AA armament whatsoever. It does have four 127 mm cannons which will sink a heavily damaged destroyer on occasion, but their range is pitiful. It is highly recommended to stay back and hide, or try and stay with the team. Her Aviation consists of the standard Rocket, Bomber and Torpedo Bomber complement.

Due to the extremely poor accuracy of the bombers, Rocket attack planes should be used as long as you have any left, as they are significantly better at actually hitting their target and deal quite decent damage.

Pros:

  • Has aircraft in large squadrons where most ships of that tier have little or no anti-aircraft capabilities.
  • Not easily detected, around 10km detection from the surface if exposed.
  • Weird hitbox of the ship may confuse attackers and make them miss their shells through the large gap between the hanger and the flight deck.
  • Once upgraded, it gains some AA that can fend for itself against equivalent tier planes.
  • The rocket planes are quite powerful

Cons:

  • Incredibly slow, top speed being around 15 knots ,and, slow turning; requiring more space to turn than most battleships and carriers.
  • Like all low-tier carriers, it's hopeless once found.
  • Nearly no armor, getting citadeled by most HE shells easily.
  • The Bombers have extremely poor accuracy.
  • The Torpedo Bombers' torpedos are very slow at a speed of 35 knots

Research

  • Research the B hull.
  • Proceed to the Bogue.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Langley are as follows:

Commander Skills

Consumables

Langley can equip the following consumables:

CV consumables are automatically activated when needed The consumables available for each plane type for Langley is as follows:

Attack Aircraft

Torpedo Bombers

Dive Bombers

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the chance of being detected.

Signals

As a carrier, Langley can only mount at most four signals at a time and has no risk of detonating. Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), Zulu Hotel (🚫), November Echo Setteseven (+5% continuous damage by all AA guns, +5% damage per second within the explosion radius of shells fired from medium- and long-range AA defenses.), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (+15% chance of causing flooding. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.). Players can also choose to equip the Dragon Flag (🚫) for faster commander (re)training.
