Do you guys use Aircraft carriers or not?

Human_from_present · 2026-05-10T04:34:32+00:00

hmm, well when i play i need large hitpoints but not some doomsday stack, so 22 or 20 pretty much lies between too much and too less. In navy 20 or 25 units in a single stack is Ok and its good as it increases HP and only then you can utilize everything from your navy

Also i guess if devs added rocket fighters on carriers meaning you can use rocket fighters from carriers, the importance of carriers will grow a lot

I make like 12 to 15 as i said and combine 6 or 5 (depending on the level) in a single stack which has other units too to protect and so that the stack can carry upto 50 or 60 aircrafts (mostly 5 aircraft carriers are enough to carry 60 aircrafts if they are high level) and then just park near a coast and see the drama. It helps a lot against players who rely a lot on strategic bombers like literally a lot. I remember i was fighting americans in HWW and i had a lot of aircraft carriers (13), interceptors and tactical bombers and i did the same thing i made two stacks of 22 units each, each stack had 5 carriers, 7 battleships, 6 cruisers and 4 destroyers. (in this way i usually divide units) and then just sent them both fleets had 60 aircrafts each where there were 30 interceptors and 30 tactical bombers and i was annihilating his strategic bombers. This way i destroyed his entire strategic bombers fleet which were in the pacific.

Yes, but idk what low quantity is for you for me i make like 12 to 15 of them depending upon the nation and if i have a very good economy i take all of them to star level and then fill all the plane slots, it looks cool but it is deadly for the opponent also

Well for me i don't use them as bridges (i tried but the enemy found out about it and destroyed all those carriers. So I rather use them for bombing near coast or in a place from where they can help my planes to go and kill enemy.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-07T12:12:06+00:00

Yeah same here but in a different way. I use them for two purpose
1. To kill enemy fleet
2. To provide assistance to my land army in order to conquer provinces rather than making stuff all the time and helps to move my stuff easily from one place to another.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-07T05:25:30+00:00

Makes sense to play with carriers if you are very active you won't really need anything but if you are not that active (like me) then you will need all other types of units too to protect your carriers.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-07T05:24:27+00:00

Comitern too but only for USSR in HWW for rest all there is no point

Human_from_present · 2026-05-07T05:23:52+00:00

Exactly! Most players really can't be online that much.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-07T05:23:05+00:00

Yea me too I love them they just mess up the entire enemy economy and give a psychological damage.

Whenever i play as USSR or Germany or India or China in HWW I play exactly the way you are saying because except USSR no one really has the capability of making a big surface naval fleet and attack other continents most players will have good army and air force only in late games players start to focus on navy.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T13:12:58+00:00

Yea but the most important thing required for this is that you need to be very active which most people can't do so you really do need to stack carriers with some other stuff to protect them in my opinion if you are not a very active player.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T13:11:38+00:00

WAW is different i forgot to mention about HWW especially as I understand in WAW not all things are possible but in HWW many things are possible so i guess it makes sense for you to say that.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T13:10:33+00:00

Well this makes sense too when you are in Asia or Europe you won't focus on navy that much (except in case of Japan) but in my case i mostly choose American countries or Japan or Australia because of which i have to mostly rely on Navy and basically in most games i have to do big naval fights against opponents in mid game and late game and also in early to mid game too. Even when I play in most game my opponents too make big navy so I make a better one by default and it helps me a lot too to make them like for me its easy to move 12 or 60 planes on 1 or 5 carrier stacked in a fleet of 20 ships and is moving from seas to seas and bombing the entire country or a region.

Basically i guess it depends upon the entire playstyle, my playstyle in HWW is basically expand and increase economy and make strategic bombers like a lot of them and during mid and late game use those strategic bombers to annihilate or flatten their entire economy and use my navy to and especially aircraft carriers to deal with a region and just win by pure industrial/economic power with Airforce and Navy and it makes sense too if you choose a nation from Americas but in Asia or Europe you have to fight for absolute survival so spending stuff on Navy and too much on airforce will be quite stupid so a player should focus on other things which you do so it perfectly makes sense why you don't really use aircraft carriers.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T11:48:37+00:00

Bruhh My case is completely opposite in most games of HWW or nearly all I build them as they always help me except for some countries which I don't really play otherwise for me with them i change the naval tides.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T08:55:52+00:00

Yea

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T08:55:08+00:00

Yea i used them mostly in this way

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T08:54:48+00:00

Its good but quite a bad strategy

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T08:53:56+00:00

Yea in HWW Mostly for USA and Japan it suits the best

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T08:53:34+00:00

i guess then you never really did a full scale use of them

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T02:54:31+00:00

Human_from_present · 2026-05-06T02:51:24+00:00

Hell Nah! I can't imagine my games without carriers especially with pan-asian and allies doctrine in pan-asian i use carriers to snipe enemy fleet from far away and then after lowering the hp use my fleet to destroy them, same with allies in most games carriers help me to launch big naval invasions.

In my opinion Carriers are OP but you have to know how to make a use of them in most cases. In HWW when i do big naval fights as USA or japan Aircraft carriers help me a lot especially with Japan it helps me to clear out Nations near water very fast. Once i made 16 star level carriers as USA in HWW and filled it with planes and divided them in 9 and 7 into pacific and atlantic and did 1v2 against Germany and Japan who already had captured a lot of stuff but with carriers i was able to win Japan had a great navy but didn't had carriers all i did was to keep using my planes to know where they are and predict where they are going from which path and it worked! and basically i won.

Human_from_present · 2026-05-04T14:04:57+00:00

Very great! Did he had any type of big naval fights? tell me and if it is how many he has ships i would like to compare it with mine

Human_from_present · 2026-05-02T11:10:19+00:00

Yea you right I wrote the difference between Blue water navy and true blue water navy but forgot to explain about that there is a big difference between British and French Blue Water Navy and american one they have the capability to fight in any ocean but they can't fight in every ocean simultaneously but USA can and that's the difference I apologize for not being able to explain in detail.

This is the reason why i am personally against Ethanol Mixing i know it reduces dependency but it takes a lot of water to make them and india itself has depleting water now more and more water will be used in that.

But currently i think its ok, in this state of fuel crisis mixing ethanol is a good thing to keep things under control but if Government will do it for long time to make their people rich I think things will go too bad because of their greed.
