Their size also makes them goos scouts as you won't lose them all to a surprise AA CL. They are middling on BBs and CAs unless you hit the superstructure from the side and the suck at starting fires. They really chunk out DDs and lighter CLs if they get a good broadside hit and the squadrons are so big they are nearly immune to any AA that a DD can throw out unless they hit flak. Individual pen and damage on the rockets is poor but she fires a ton of them and thereby makes up damage in quantity. Her massive fighter consumable lets her dominate caps over other CVs, and over almost all DDs. She combines a lot of the best qualities of Shokaku and Lexington. If T8, the best all-rounder is Enterprise bar none. I don't know what tier it is but here's my take: If no one else has a CV readied up, you get a game against a team with no CV. Que times in clan battles are not tied to the the ships you choose. Wanna guess how often the DD sank me? Exactly once and it was on one of the crazy spawns where the CV pretty much always died for both team in the first 2 minutes. I played close to 30 battles in the clan brawl.

DDs easily slip through and then the CVs can be sunk early as there is a lot more open water and less chances of getting spotted by the enemy.Īnd then you get into the matter of needing another clan crazy enough to bring a CV, which can lead to very long que times for a CV team, and you will be facing a team armed to the teeth with AA because they know it will be a CV battle. Meanwhile without full battle lines that happen in Randoms you are left vulnerable in Clan battles much in the same way as in Ranked.

They mainly are only good for scouting, spotting, hitting DDs, or picking off a critically damaged ship.

The answer is none of them since CVs don’t really pack the same heavy punch as another warship.
