The other 2 squadron types should only serve as damage supplements for when there's either no cruisers to hit or when you're waiting for your rocket planes to regenerate.Įrich Loewenhardt Specifications 23,200 tons displacement, standard Against cruisers she would see in her matchmaking spread, the AP rockets are very deadly if they're caught with their broadside open to the rockets.Ī very powerful secondary battery is also another distinguishing point of Erich Loewenhardt, having a whopping 4x2 150 mm per side and 5x2 105 mm (2x2 in front of the island and 3x2 behind, in a style similar to Graf Zeppelin's 105 mm mounts), it is the heaviest secondary broadside among Tier VI carriers.Īll in all, your main targets should be cruisers (since your AP rocket performance is splendid for Tier VI). Her AP rocket planes, taken from Parseval's stock AP rocket planes, feature very impressive performance for Tier VI, with a good amount of penetration and damage. Already lacking in terms of damage per torpedo, they do not have the speed to help make up for it (unlike tech tree German aircraft carriers), so Erich Loewenhardt's torpedo bombers will basically be the last ditch weapon if there are no other alternatives. While Erich Loewenhardt's dive bombers are pretty impressive, her torpedo bombers are pretty disappointingly lackluster. The fire chance of her bombs are superb, so not only will they do pretty decent damage for HE bombs at Tier VI, they'll be able to quickly stack damage via fires. To achieve the stated Alpha Damage, the bomb will have to explode inside the citadel of a ship, which at Tier VI (if not in operations), is very rare, and the bombs will mostly be doing about 2-4k damage per hit. While the max damage may seem very impressive, however it must be kept in mind that it is a HE bomb. The first thing that would catch the player's eye would be the massive 12,200 alpha for the HE bombs, and when compared to even Midway's HE bombs, Erich Loewenhardt's HE bombs outperform Midway's in damage, penetration and fire chance.
