Carriers



What are Light/Fleet Carriers
Light/Fleet Carriers are warships mainly remembered and used for transportation and deploying aircraft. These warships allow aircraft to take off and enter battle; later coming back to land and refuel. All of this is done without the aircraft needing to return to land.

Advantages:

 * Aircraft that can attack enemy aircraft and ships.
 * Reconnaissance aircraft offers the carrier with vital enemy information.
 * The aircraft can be used to develop strategy; good for tactical and strategic players.

Disadvantages:

 * Large size allows them to easily be detected.
 * Limited anti-aircraft depending on the Carrier; making the player rely on teammates for anti-aircraft cover.
 * Aircraft squadrons can be devastated if they attempt to attack ships/multiple ships with good anti-aircraft.
 * If a carrier has no teammates or aircraft to protect themselves, they can easily be attacked.

What are Escort Carriers
Escort Carriers, unlike Light/Fleet Carriers are smaller, and have less armor. However, their faster speed allows them to move with the fleet. These types of carriers have less planes, less armament, but were mass built and produced due to their cheapness.

Advantages:

 * Their fast speeds allow them to move with the fleet.
 * They're cheap and inexpensive.

Disadvantages:

 * Low armor allows them to easily be sunk.
 * Little amount of planes.
