Hi! In today’s devlog we'll talk about aircraft carriers… literally! Up to this day, there was only one aircraft carrier available in the game - CV-3 inspired by USS Saratoga.
It only had two elevators, a relatively thin deck and not that much space on the island. Whether in campaign or in the Sandbox mode, you now can upgrade to CV-5 and later on to CV-9. Let’s talk about their strengths.
CV-5
Inspired by USS Yorktown - a magnificent weapon of war - modernized and upgraded in almost every aspect when compared to the CV-3. Upgrading to CV-5 in the game gives a lot of benefits:
Additional aircraft elevator ensure much faster deployment of planes
New Island room grants access to three game-changing switches
A bunch of minor but useful upgrades!
CV-9
An Essex Class inspired colossus. Upgrading to this one enables you as an Admiral to dominate the ocean. CV-9 is better in almost every way than its predecessors, but not for free. The maintenance needed for this beast of a carrier is enormous. Make sure you have a lot of crew teams available and your damage control tactics are on point!
We won’t spoil all the fun by listing out features through. Get it in the game and see for yourself!
