Ship:Attack Aircraft/temp
Air Group Baselines
Attack aircraft are very effective against lightly armored targets.
There are two types of ammunition available — high-explosive (HE) and armor-piercing (AP) rockets. AP rockets are capable of inflict high damage to the enemy ship citadel, however can also ricochet or fail to pierce armor at the acute angle. When hitting the thin destroyers armor at right angles they mostly achieve through penetrations and get 1/10 of the maximum damage only.
Further, there are two types of HE rockets available. They are vary in damage as follow:
- small damage, compensated by the large amount of rockets;
- heavy damage.
Heavy damage rockets are available on Tier VIII — X aircraft careers only, however attack aircrafts carries much less of them.
Furthermore, HE rockets can cause fires.
Rockets have following performance characteristics:
- maximum damage;
- armor penetration;
- fire chance (HE rockets).
The fire chance can be increased as follow:
- using flag signals Victor Lima and India X-Ray — by +1%;
- learning "Demolition Expert" commander skill — by +2%.
This type of aircraft usually has a high speed and can reach the desired point in a short time. The attack aircraft sight looks like an ellipse or circle with special marks showing the spread at maximum convergence. The ellipse reduction to the ideal radius occurs in case the aircraft are not making sharp maneuvers.
You can launch rockets as soon as the sight color swap to green, but for maximum efficiency it`s better to reach the ideal radius.
