Similar to her torpedo bombers, Chkalov’s skip bombers consist of one squadron of 6 planes carrying one bomb each. It is not uncommon for one attack run to remove ⅓ of an enemy battleship’s hp pool. This makes them most effective against large, unmaneuverable targets such as enemy battleships. These torpedoes are moderately fast at 41 knots, with a large arming distance and a huge damage potential. However, she has a 30mm deck, which protects her from low caliber HE shells and Battleship shells up to 406mm in caliber.Ĭhkalov’s torpedo bombers consist of one squadron of 6 planes carrying one torpedo each. Similar to her contemporaries, Chkalov is mostly covered with 25mm of armor making her vulnerable to large caliber A.P shells. This makes dodging flak the key to having success with this carrier. While the planes have a low HP pool, this is mitigated by the fact that the skip bombers and torpedo bombers will endure less damage from continuous AA.
She has three different types of planes, torpedo bombers, HE skip bombers, and HE dive bombers.
