Lexington — Porta-Aviões Americano Tier VIII.

When commissioned, Lexington was one of the largest aircraft carriers in existence. She was converted from an unfinished battlecruiser. The ship had good armor and advanced torpedo protection. Owing to her dimensions, the aircraft carrier was equipped with a very spacious hangar and was armed with numerous AA and dual-purpose artillery. The ship's powerful propulsion created very high speeds.

Opinião dos Jogadores

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.

Overall, Lexington is a strong tier VIII aircraft carrier. She is fast — 33.6 knots — but she turns like a brick, and her huge size advertises her presence for miles around. Although she has a strong wing of aircraft, careful usage of her bomber aircraft is vital as the anti-aircraft power of most tier VIII ships and above that she will encounter begins to be very competitive. The higher health pool of its planes will help immensely in survival and in attack potential. The CV itself has a large detection radius of 14.5km, so careful positioning behind islands and such is vital in survival.

Attack aircraft

You have two choices in upgrading your attack planes: the HVAR 127mm rockets or the Tiny Tims. The HVARs have an HE pen of 32mm but launches the payloads more densely, making it easier to hit DDs even when mis-targeted. They are somewhat less effective in attacking targets with a thick deck armour due to lack of penetration (ex. Izumo, Großer_Kurfürst, etc, but are useful for Republique, Alsace, most cruisers) and don't deal as much damage (max 2000). Then they have the Tiny Tims. Tiny Tims are heavy rockets that hit hard (68mm of pen) but only 6 rockets are launched. You'll have to aim carefully in order to be successful in hitting destroyers with these rockets. It is best advised to use these against larger targets due to the inaccuracy of the Tiny Tims. But if you are able to hit destroyers with these, it will reward you greatly.

Torpedo bombers

American torpedo planes are not as good as IJN ones as they lack speed (35kts) and range (3.9km). However, they are able to deal more damage when all of them hit. They have a good amount of HP, which allows you to drop your payload at a closer distance. When you upgrade to SB2C Helldivers, they drop 3 torps instead of 2: giving you more chances in succeeding the drop. Closing the distance when attacking is recommended to maximize the damage and flood chance. Due to low torpedo speed, attacking cruisers will require large amounts of lead.

Dive bombers

They are effective against all BBs and cruisers as you can use HE bombs to cause multiple fires. They're not recommended to be used against destroyers as they are not very accurate (unless the target is on low HP). Of course these being bombers, beware of going into a cluster of enemy ships if you fancy dropping your payload nearby them. Upgrading to the SB2C Helldiver will increase your attacking flight from 2 to 3 and bombs you to drop 1 extra bomb per payload (amounting to 6 bombs dropped at a time).

Ship

Interestingly — perhaps in a nod to her battlecruiser origins — Lexington has a greater amount of armor than would be expected of a carrier, even retaining almost a proper armor belt. Captains should be advised, though, that while her armor may bounce the odd destroyer shell, it also means cruiser and battleship armor-piercing rounds have a greater chance of causing full penetration or citadel damage that would otherwise overpenetrate on softer targets. Her speed is pretty decent at 33 knots meaning that repositioning is easier when needed. Although care must be used when moving the ship because her rudder is slow and she is very easy to hit because she turns like a brick slowly but overall Lexington can be deadly when handled correctly.

Prós:

• Planes have a decent health pool that allows them to get closer to drop payloads on enemy ships.
• Reasonable good plane restoration time, boosted even further with commander skills and upgrades.
• All plane types are highly flexible that allows them to be used in almost any situation.
• Attack aircraft are reasonably fast.
• HVAR rockets have 33mm of penetration and are dropped in large amounts (24 per drop)
• Can equip Tiny Tim rockets with high alpha damage, penetration and fire chance.
• High alpha strike and fire chance with AN-M65 bombs, with six (6) bombs per drop.
• One of the best AA defenses of all carriers that will quickly shred low hp planes.
• Excellent ship speed of 33 knots, only Shokaku is faster by 1 knot.

Contras:

• Large ship that looks like a huge brick with poor concealment to go with it.
• Very large turn radius and slow rudder shift.
• Torpedo bombers and dive bombers have poor speed that prevent opportunities that other carriers get.
• Lexington's hull has weak armor, takes large amounts of damage from all sources despite its look.
• Only 6 Tiny Tim rockets are launched per attack run and have questionable accuracy that causes poor performance against smaller ships.
• Individual HVAR rockets deal low damage and have low fire chances unlike Tiny Tim rockets.
• Stock dive bombers drop only 2 bombs per attack run which means upgrading them are a priority.

Informações Históricas

The Lexington-class aircraft carriers were a pair of aircraft carriers built for the United States Navy (USN) during the 1920s. The ships were built on hulls originally laid down as battlecruisers after World War I, but under the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, all U.S. battleship and battlecruiser construction was cancelled. The Treaty, however, allowed two of the unfinished ships to be converted to carriers. They were the first operational aircraft carriers in the USN and were used to develop carrier aviation tactics and procedures before World War II in a series of annual exercises.

They proved extremely successful as carriers and experience with the Lexington class convinced the Navy of the value of large carriers. They were the largest aircraft carriers in the USN until the Midway-class aircraft carriers were completed beginning in 1945. The ships served in World War II, seeing action in many battles. Although Lexington was sunk in the first carrier battle in history (the Battle of the Coral Sea) in 1942, Saratoga served throughout the war — despite being torpedoed twice — notably participating in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in mid-1942 where her aircraft sank the Japanese light carrier Ryujo. She supported Allied operations in the Indian Ocean and South West Pacific Areas until she became a training ship at the end of 1943. Saratoga returned to combat to protect American forces during the Battle of Iwo Jima in early 1945, but was badly damaged by kamikazes. The continued growth in the size and weight of carrier aircraft made her obsolete by the end of the war. In mid-1946, the ship was sunk during nuclear weapon tests in Operation Crossroads.

Historical Inaccuracies

• The Lexington depicted in the game is actually Saratoga (CV-3). USS Lexington (CV-2) was sunk in May 1942 and never carried any of the aircraft or upgraded armaments depicted in-game.
• Several of the Lexington’s historical aircraft — including but not limited to the Grumman F4F "Wildcat" and Vought SB2U "Vindicator" — are missing. Saratoga carried 11 F4F-3 "Wildcats", 43 Douglas SBD "Dauntlesses" and 11 Douglas TBD-1 "Devastators" on 7 December 1941. In the failed attempt to relieve Wake Island, Saratoga embarked 14 Brewster F2A-3 "Buffalo" fighters which were delievered to Midway on 25 December.
• Although the SB2C Helldiver could also perform like a torpedo bomber, it never served in combat in its alternative role and was only used as a dive bomber because the TBF Avengers(stock torpedo bombers) already had that role.
• Numerous secondary armament configurations are also missing. USS Lexington (CV-2), in particular, had twelve (12) five-inch guns, twelve (12) quadruple 1.1-inch AA guns, twenty-two (22) Oerlikons and at least two dozen (12) .50-caliber machine guns in May 1942, during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Hull (A) appears to represent an early war refit of Saratoga after which the 1.1-inch and .50 caliber guns were replaced due to their ineffectiveness.
