Ranger — American Tier VI aircraft сarrier.

The first U.S. aircraft carrier of special construction. The ship carried a large air group. The carrier's speed was quite high for her type. Her drawbacks included a lack of torpedo protection and impractical arrangement of aircraft elevators, which slowed down the handling of air groups.

Player Opinion

Performance

Ranger is the first taste of high-tier carrier play in the American carrier line. She is much faster than the Langley making positioning of the ship much easier. Also, it is the first time where players have access to the Fighter consumable that can provide anti-air support and limited spotting for the team.

HE bombs are highly effective against destroyers and light cruisers of this tier. Players should start practicing HE drops on destroyers as it becomes the cornerstone for success in high tier games. Torpedo bombers drop two torps per attack, allowing the player to enjoy a higher damage output than before. Since battleships of this tier are slow, players can easily practice their drops against these targets. Fighters are also effective against destroyers, but yet lack to do much damage against battleships. Players are advised to use HE bombs and torpedoes against battleships.

Pros:

Good plane health pool
Good HE bombs, effective against all ship types
Better maneuverability of the carrier itself, allowing for easier positioning

Cons:

Detected very easily.
Practically no armor — only 25mm at the thickest point — allowing for easy citadel hits and breaking of modules.
Extremely clumsy to maneuver, with a 15.9 second rudder turn time.
Slow torpedoes with short range.
Slow planes compared to its counterpart Ryujo

Commander Skills

As the planes are slow, players would want to invest in increasing engine boost time and aircraft speed. Torpedo acceleration would help but would need players to drop at point blank range.

Consumables

The consumables available for the ship and each plane type for Ranger is as follows:

Ship

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Template:Fighter I

Attack Aircraft

Slot 1: Engine Cooling 
Slot 2: Patrol Fighter

Torpedo Bombers

Slot 1: Engine Cooling 
Slot 2: Patrol Fighter

Dive Bombers

Slot 1: Engine Cooling 
Slot 2: Patrol Fighter

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Ranger with Type 17 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (for faster XP grinding / increased XP gain per battle), Zulu Hotel (when coupled with Equal Speed Charlie London greatly helps increase commander (re)training), November Echo Setteseven (for better bomber self-defense against fighters and increased AA DPS), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (to have a better chance at causing flooding and dealing damage via flooding). Players can also choose to equip the Dragon Flag for faster commander (re)training.
