11,000 doubloons

Aquila — Italy Premium Tier VIII Aircraft Carrier.

Liner Roma was converted into an aircraft carrier during World War II. The ship's hull was extended, equipped with bulges, and a new bow section grafted. The propulsion unit was redesigned using turbines and boilers from unfinished ships Cornelio Silla and Paolo Emilio. 135 mm guns from unfinished ships of the Capitani Romani class were used as anti-mine weapons. The 80% complete aircraft carrier was captured by Germany. Aquila was damaged by Allied aviation and sank after being damaged by Italian submarine saboteurs.

Pros

• AP rockets are effective against ships of all types
• Large number of aircraft on deck
• High aircraft speed

Cons

• Low aircraft survivability

Ship Change Log

• Preliminary characteristics.
• Maximum torpedo damage decreased from 8,367 to 7,133. — By extension, the blast radius from a torpedo explosion, its damage, and its chance to disable modules were proportionately reduced.
• Chance to cause flooding decreased from 71% to 61%.
• Number of torpedo bombers on deck reduced from 21 to 18.
• Number of Engine Cooling consumables for the attack aircraft increased from 2 to 4.
• Number of Patrol Fighters consumables for attack aircraft and torpedo bombers increased from 3 to 4.
• Update 0.11.3:
  • Available for testing by supertesters in the game starting from Update 0.11.3.
• Update 0.11.4:
  • In Update 0.11.4:
    • Changed the torpedo bomber parameters
    • Number of planes in a squadron decreased from 8 to 6.
    • Number of planes on deck reduced: 26 to 21.
    • Distance between planes during the torpedo launch is reduced by half. This will reduce the gap between the launched torpedoes.
    • Reduced the reticle dispersion when maneuvering during preparation for an attack and when attacking.
    • The damage received by the attacking flight during the aiming state decreased by 10%.
    • Changed the attack aircraft parameters
    • Reduced altitude during preparation for an attack and at the moment of aiming.
    • Attack preparation time reduced from 2.5 to 1.75 s.
    • Increased the reticle reduction speed (aims faster) when preparing to attack and when attacking.
    • Increased rocket velocity, which will allow taking a slightly smaller lead before attacking and facilitate penetration of 38 mm deck armor more frequently.
• Update 0.11.5:
  • The name of the AA gun 20 mm/70 Breda Model 1941 was changed to 20 mm/70 Scotti Model 1941.
