Is Ark Royal good?
A damage-focused carrier with two torpedo bomber slots and a dive bomber slot, and limit breaks add more torpedo bombers. A chance-based skill doubles her airstrike damage, and when it procs her hits are among the biggest any carrier puts out.
Her airstrikes also slow enemies by up to 60%, which makes it easier for your guns, torpedoes and her own planes to connect.
Strengths
- Loadout built entirely for damage
- Chance to double airstrike damage
- Heavy slow on airstrike helps the whole fleet land hits
Weaknesses
- The damage doubling isn't guaranteed
