But what makes German aircraft carriers so special?
Their attack aircraft are equipped with a new type of ammunition—armor-penetrating rockets. When successfully used, these are capable of inflicting heavy damage to enemy citadels. However, they may also ricochet or fail to penetrate armor when hitting a target at an acute angle—in this respect, they function in a similar way to armor-penetrating shells. When striking the thin armor of destroyers at 90-degree angles, they will often overpenetrate and deal 1/10 of the maximum damage.
German bombers carry armor-penetrating bombs. A squadron initially flies at high altitude, and an attacking flight can dive without the need to first climb to a higher altitude. As it is quite difficult to adjust the position of the target reticle during an attack, their bombs are most effective when dropped on slower targets.
The torpedoes dropped by German aircraft are fast, but have a short range and cause only modest damage.
The aircraft have a high cruising speed, but somewhat small HP pool.
German carriers are armed with accurate, long-range secondary guns.
Aircraft carriers IV Rhein, VI Weser, VIII August von Parseval, and X Manfred von Richthofen will become available to research in Update 0.9.7.
Directives
The new game event tasks you with completing 28 missions spread across four Directives. The first Directive will become available with the release of Update 0.9.6, while those that follow will be unlocked each week. Completing the missions and Directives will reward you with German Carriers containers, сredits, and signals.
In addition to that, you'll be able to complete Directives of the Dockyard event that began in Update 0.9.5. They will remain available until August 3.
German Carriers Containers
Players will be able to obtain up to 22 containers for completing Directives and up to three containers from Daily Shipments.
German Carriers containers may drop a combat mission that unlocks Early Access to IV Rhein, VI Weser, and VIII August von Parseval; the "Black, White, Red" expendable camouflages;
