In addition, these attack aircraft are extremely fast at 204 knots, enabling them to actively maneuver around targets to find an optimal angle of attack. While each of Aquila’s rockets have a low alpha, a single strike can launch up to 60 rockets. Each squadron consists of 10 aircraft with a strike consisting of 5 planes that launch 12 rockets each. The attack aircraft begin their attack from a higher altitude, making them far easier to use than the German aircraft carrier AP rockets which have a low flight altitude and a very shallow angle of attack. These rockets are unable to citadel battleships, but they are able to citadel some of the more lightly armored light cruisers, especially those of lower tiers.
Thus, Aquila is a very situational aircraft carrier that must choose her targets extremely carefully.Īquila’s attack aircraft carry a large number of armor-piercing rockets with low penetration. Aquila's hull also has extremely poor AA firepower with an extremely poor firing range of only 3.2km, which makes her extremely vulnerable to attack by enemy aircraft carriers. However, her aircraft have very low HP pools that make breaking through concentrated anti-aircraft artillery fire nearly impossible along with torpedoes that have very slow speeds albeit they have very high alpha damage. Her fast aircraft speed allows her to quickly set up optimal angles of attack in addition to having a generous hanger size coupled with a short aircraft restoration period allowing for numerous strikes.
The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".Īquila is a tier VIII Italian aircraft carrier that focuses on damaging capital ships with rockets and torpedoes.
