Built in 1893 as a Cunard Line ocean liner, she was converted into one of the worlds first aircraft carriers. She could carry and launch four float planes. I honestly think there would be real potential for her in game as a British tier III premium aircraft carrier. With only four aircraft on board, I think it would balance nicely with the weak AA of the lower tiers. I also think her unique launching mechanics could be fun. Definitely would be a very unique ship to play. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a major rework is coming in about a month I know that, however there were no tier 2 BBs and we still got Mikasa. I still think it could balance ok at 3 because of the weak AA and only four planes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would probably have to be bombs only, but at tier 3 that could work too. Just one little FYI though … you have got to know that is the butt ugliest Carrier ever built anywhere. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could also see the rearming time being a bit on the longer side as the planes had to be hoisted back aboard the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
