|Performance=
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* High damage per attack run
Tier VIII premium Aircraft Carrier ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' retains many of the traits that define the Russian aircraft carrier line, having slow planes with high damage potential, slow plane regeneration time, and a large hangar size. She has three different types of planes, torpedo bombers, HE skip bombers, and HE dive bombers. While the planes have a low HP pool, this is mitigated by the fact that the skip bombers and torpedo bombers will endure less damage from continuous AA. This makes dodging flak the key to having success with this carrier.
* Jet boosters available
* Enhanced Patrol fighters consumable
* Low detectability


<h4>Attributes</h4>
Similar to her contemporaries, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is mostly covered with 25mm of armor making her vulnerable to large caliber A.P shells. However, she has a 30mm deck, which protects her from low caliber HE shells and Battleship shells up to 406mm in caliber.


''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s torpedo bombers consist of one squadron of 6 planes carrying one torpedo each. These torpedoes are moderately fast at 41 knots, with a large arming distance and a huge damage potential. This makes them most effective against large, unmaneuverable targets such as enemy battleships. It is not uncommon for one attack run to remove ⅓ of an enemy battleship’s hp pool.
===Cons===
* A squadron carries out one attack run only
* Low aircraft survivability


Similar to her torpedo bombers, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s skip bombers consist of one squadron of 6 planes carrying one bomb each. These bombs can bounce at three different distances, their dispersion improving as they move farther away from the initial drop point. These bombs Penetrate 32mm of armor, making them effective against ships of all classes. They are particularly effective against destroyers who lose a large percentage of their hp for each bomb hit.


Instead of Rockets, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has HE dive bombers similar to that of the ''[[Graf Zeppelin]]''. Each squadron drops 6 bombs through a circular reticle. The delay between the start of the attack run and the drop is extremely short. These bombs are potent destroyer hunters, as they have the ability to start an attack run on a destroyer as soon as it is spotted and have enough time to drop it when the circle turns green.


<h4>Game Play</h4>
==Ship Stats==
With 6 planes per squadron on all three of her plane types, the allegorical significance is not lost on enemy battleships and destroyers. Captains should try to position as aggressively as possible (without risking their own hull) in order to reduce plane flight and recall times. This will make up for her slow plane speed. In addition, flak dodging is key to plane preservation, as her planes often finish their attack run outside of close range AA auras. Both aggressive positioning and flak dodging are skills that take time to learn. As such, experienced carrier captains will have success with ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', while inexperienced captains may struggle to have meaningful impact in their matches.

11,000 doubloons

Chkalov — U.S.S.R. Premium Tier VIII Aircraft Carrier.

The further development of the Project 71 aircraft carrier continued under the "large aircraft carrier" project, codenamed 71B. The ship would have made it possible for the main naval forces to utilize their aviation quickly and efficiently in the open seas and near the coastline in areas located far from naval bases, but the project wasn't implemented due to the outbreak of World War II.

Pros

  • High damage per attack run
  • Jet boosters available
  • Enhanced Patrol fighters consumable
  • Low detectability


Cons

  • A squadron carries out one attack run only
  • Low aircraft survivability
