Details about the concept and settings of Hornet, as well as the characteristics of supercarriers Eagle and United States.
American Supercarrier United States
British Supercarrier Eagle
The main feature of supercarriers — the availability of both standard and tactical squadrons. More details about the new squadron type can be found in our Blog post: https://www.wows-gamer-blog.com/2022/01/0111-closed-test-new-ships.html
Both supercarriers will have three types of tactical squadrons consisting of jet planes: attack aircraft, torpedo bombers and dive bombers.
American Aircraft Carrier Hornet, Tier VIII
One of the Yorktown-class aircraft carriers — successful, well-balanced ships that defined the development of aircraft carriers in the US Navy in the 1940s.
The ship's main strike force is torpedo bombers, similar to Ranger's researchable ones, and bombers similar to the stock ones of Lexington, but armed with AP bombs. Hornet's bombers and torpedo bombers have a large number of planes per squadron and per attacking flight.
The key feature of Hornet is the availability of a tactical squadron of bombers. It serves as an auxiliary weapon and consists of a single attacking flight, which takes a significant time to prepare. The squadron doesn't return to the carrier's deck after the attack, and is restored by the whole flight at once.
The ship's tactical squadron consists of powerful B-25 bombers which Hornet carried historically for the Doolittle raid. The squadron has a large attacking flight size and many bombs per plane.
