When I want to focus my attack on an enemy carrier, I know that any and all carrier’s AA defenses will only allow me 1 attack run. It’s useless to attack a carrier, multiple times with a single full squadron of dive bombers or torpedo planes. What I do is send a full squadron up and use up all planes ordinances, with the exception of saving the remaining last planes for that 1 attack run. The idea is, by using up most of my squadron, I can still attack a carrier or any AA ship, while minimizing my plane casualties. This helps in keeping up with carrier plane restorations, while decreasing the chances of being de-planed and still allowing me to stay in the fight that much longer. It’s no fool proof plan, but it is something to look into.
IJN Kaga. The Second Battleship of the Tosa-class Battleships who was going to be just as she was from the Eight Eight Program. Although when the Treaty came in, she was chosen to be converted as an Aircraft Carrier in response to the treaty limiting the construction of warships. A carrier that had 3 flight decks and later had one extended flight deck and better Characteristics. She supported the five other Carriers in the Attack of Pearl Harbor, December 7th 1941, and supported the invasion of the Bismarck islands. On June 4th 1942 during the Battle of Midway, SBD Dauntlesses roared out of the sunlight and dive bombed the Kaga. Her ammunition and Fuel exploded within Kaga and immediately sank.
Just a minor correction Kaga was not originally chosen to be converted the two chose ships that were planned to be converted was the battlecruisers amagi and her sister ship Akagi but an earthquake destroyed amagis hull and so they chose to convert Kaga( Kaga was originally going to be scrapped before she was chosen
This seems like an awesome ship. One of the things i always complained about Shokaku was hasving only 2 planes on a torpedo atack run. Kaga will be so much fun to play with and she is basically free!!!
I wana give u credit ur videos hands down with out a doubt have the best quality like resolution color clarity compared to any other wowls you tuber.on my 60 inch 4k tv ur videos look so clear man 👍 basically u make this game look almost as good as pc
I watch all the ppl who make videos on this game and like I said hands down your videos look better then 4k very impressive.👍 fyi I watch your videos on my 60inch 4k Samsung thru my xbox one x 4k 60fps. And your quality of video is leaps and bounds above alot of CZcams videos in general
As a Carrier player I’m very excited for the Kaga, as when carriers first came out I loved the Shokaku but with her only have 2 plane attack runs I barley play as her anymore and all I see in carrier battles are Germans and Americans. I hope with Kaga we can see more Japanese carriers back in the fight.
It is true kaga has a great offense, but your planes are like paper. But in the pc version you have about 100 planes in reserve, so if a full squadron goes down it’s not a huge deal, so it makes an ideal first premium carrier for its ease of play
I’m surprised that they went with Kaga as a Legendary/Bureau CV given that she’s much older than the other ships in the Bureau that was initially converted from a battlecruiser hull into a carrier during the 1920’s, then modernized in the 1930’s. I would’ve thought the Taiho would have been the CV of choice for the bureau given that she was completed during the 1940’s and was the only Japanese carrier, if I’m correct, with an armored flight deck and at 855 feet, she was the second largest carrier behind the CV Shinano (871 ft) another CV, I thought they would’ve considered as well. But that’s just me. This is another very well-presented video that provides a compelling but fair argument regarding the gameplay, what it’s capable of (and it’s appeal) in the hands of anyone whose willing to learn how to play it correctly.
I don’t think legends would release Taiho because all the new ships and tech tree lines that come to legends are originally on wows pc before coming to legends and taiho is not on pc
@@DerkaGames Frankly I had to look up the Hakruyu as I never heard of that ship but after reviewing it’s details, I think that would be the better Legendary Tier choice between the two of them. Maybe Taiho will be a campaign ship of choice between two different ship classes, kinda but not exactly like what they did with Friesland and the Laoyang, as not everyone is a CV enthusiast so maybe a choice between Taiho or a CC/DD/BB maybe? We’ll find out for certain…eventually.
Shinano also had an armored deck at the same thickness of 75mm,while the last series of carriers of the unryu class was largely similar to shokaku class and didn't have an armored deck
I've really only gottenol into carriers i have the kaga researching now but I'm starting to like the Soviet carriers and the camaraderie perk I'm thinking it will give the kaga a run based on this info.
i wish the aim on other CV bombers were less RNG and more about skill, you can get the reticle right on target and the bombs land either side of the ship!, the kaga's low bombers solve that problem but i wish other planes could get lower!
Just hitting a destroyer who is paying the slightest bit of attention (or sometimes is even just parked) with a bomb is something of a minor miracle at lower tier so this might be nice.
Love aircraft carriers though one thing i would like to see is secondary guns being used as aa protection or the main guns of alanta and certain destroyers can be used to shoot planes down like battlestations pacific
Manually controlling anti-aircraft guns would: 1) Be too complicated to implement (If they ever had the notion to implement manually controlled AA armament, I HIGHLY doubt it would function like BSP where you point at planes and extreme aim assist does all the hard work for you) 2) Be hardly used at all, as you won't ever be switching to the aforementioned manual AA armament in the middle of a fight (when 90% of carriers attack), rendering the feature useless.
I think it’s probably going to end up as the second or 3rd best cv. I don’t see this dethroning parseval because it is still the best cv at removing the enemy dd on its own which I think is more valuable than just spotting a dd. Parseval torps are still the hardest to dodge because they have the best speed and the fastest narrowing cone. Kaga has 4 torps which is nice but they are relatively slow, drop in a staggered pattern which leaves wide gaps and they have the notoriously slow narrowing cone all the ijn carriers seem to have with the torpedo bombers. The kaga might be better at spamming damage than Lexington since it seems to never run out of planes but I cannot tell since I don’t have it and most of the people I see playing it are not cv players.
Yeah the fast torps are really hard to dodge for DDs. 5 knots faster then Kaga, so Kaga torps arent slow by any means, nothing like Implacable. But it does help
I mean kind of, I looked at it tonight. Her special perk buffs detection for both torpedo and dive bombers...and I guess her base trait is good as Kaga is a very slow carrier. If she's better it's not by a whole lot tho
I'm new in world of warships I use to play blitz and I was on beta testing for mobile is it normal that all of nation doesn't have aircraft carrier? cuz I was planning to buy hosho but she is not in ship tree
As a carrier main I own every carrier in the game (even Pobeda) I would say efficiency has to go to Parsie hands down due to the fast toros great for engaging dds. Citadel on battleships as well. Kaga has good raw alpha in both tbs and dbs. Pobeda I think is definitely not as good as parsi or kaga but stronger than implacable and lex
In the pc version, in my Enterprise I always dive bomb kaga just to remind those players of midway. A thing i do to increase my planes' survival is to use islands as cover as much as possible. Start your run or come into for the attacks from the cover of an island. I it will cause the enemy ship aa to activate late. This is how i dive bomb island hugging ships. As a shokaku player this is how i deal with des moines players.
I’m new to world of warships I’m very good at world of tanks and I can say it’s way different than tanks if you cloud tell already lol and I like the carrier the best and then maybe the destroyer or battleship but the cruiser just ain’t for me
Yeah Jerk! Making me run for my life 🤣🤣🤣 GG man. I think we also matched up another game, you were in Conqueror and we were on the same team. We won lol
Dont get me wrong kaga is good, but from what pgrapidiz said i forgot what the name is, but its not the shokaku its another beruea carrier Edit: its the saipan that may be the best carrier in the game currently
havent got kaga and saipan but looking at videos online, kaga make shoukaku obselete while saipan didnt make lexington obselete shoukaku main problem is low hp plane and weakass dive bomber kaga still have low hp plane but more stock and recovery time, its sweet. kaga dive bomber maybe weak ass but then again the forward motion is so good shoukaku cant do shit
Carriers are the main reason why I won't purchase anything else in WoWL. They add nothing positive for me as a ship, and are just a pest to deal with. Never rage quit prior. Now it's regular.
Getting focused and dumpstered by a carrier is frustrating. What is really fun is to beat them at their own game lol. You should run an AA Friesland, Cleveland, Mino or something for a couple games to really ruin a CV players day 😆

Everyone will try to focus you because your probably the best carrier in that match due to raw dmg potential and how easily she can fight a dd
Bring it on 😄🤪
@@ligh7foo7 well since soviet carriers kaga Is no longer best carrier in game lmao but she's the best ijn carrier

Great review dude
Thank you sir, much appreciated!
I love the Lexington I got her the same day I got Brandenburg. I just started researching Kaga and put Yamato on the back burner.
Youre gonna love Kaga!
4:12 Kaga’s bombs don’t deal 9000 base dmg that’s the maximum dmg, so if you get a citadel basically
same difference

Perfectly balanced game, right?

Hi Derka! Thanks for another great video. Quick Q: Why not run Togo for the extra speed in the torps? (row 1 skill)
Togo like the base universal commander?
I'm back playing because of the carrier play and it's fun
You might like Saipan then
Saipan is the new king. Over 4000 Hp for planes
I like apreggio iona for japanese cvs. She helps my bombers. I think she will be great for kaga.

I'll get it eventually but I don't like playing as the "Fun Police"
Lol not my favorite either
i wonder if shokaku commander is the better option for kaga as it gived 4% aircraft speed yet that if u have her fully legended lol
I mean kind of, I looked at it tonight. Her special perk buffs detection for both torpedo and dive bombers...and I guess her base trait is good as Kaga is a very slow carrier. If she's better it's not by a whole lot tho

Immediately after you launch planes, just click RT and drop part of your munitions. Those aircraft will go safely back to the carrier 👍🏻
0:07 what about Zuiho?
I'm new in world of warships I use to play blitz and I was on beta testing for mobile is it normal that all of nation doesn't have aircraft carrier? cuz I was planning to buy hosho but she is not in ship tree

It’s funny how this is a good carrier named kaga and in Spanish a similar sounding word like “cagar” is means act of taking a shit 😭
Its mainly due to the air crews that are making it good but falls flat against saipan
Also mino has 100 on air defense so yeah
Yes, yes it does
Pre dropping is such a waste of time, they should just add a dismiss button feature if I don’t want a full squadron.
