Implacable — U.K. Tech Tree Tier VIII Aircraft Carrier.

Illustrious-class aircraft carriers were designed based on effective Ark Royal, but they received reinforced armor. To comply with the treaty limitations on displacement, the hangar capacity was reduced to mere 36 aircraft. The Implacable class emerged as an improved series with the hangar capacity increased to 60 aircraft. HMS Implacable was engaged in operations against German ships in Norway and was transferred to the Pacific afterward. The aircraft carrier took part in supporting the landing on Okinawa and in operations against Japanese aviation near Honshu.

Pros

• Above average ship HP pool
• Above average plane HP
• Higher than average number of rockets, with shorter than average firing delay

Cons

• Above average plane regeneration
• Below average plane speed
• Level bombers with inaccurate, slow falling bombs
