Magical paper naval version of the IL-2M, with both rocket and cannon attack.
Instead of having a single attack per squadron, it's a click and hold mechanic where the longer you click, the more dakka is sent out.


Clearly super balanced.

Forgoing the memes, I would actually be genuinely interested in what kind of a tree you could REALLY do. I realize the paper the paper-to-steel ratio would approach ERROR: DIVISION BY ZERO.

Anyone have some legitimate info about any conversion/purpose-built carrier plans the Soviets actually had?

No

 

Please no. Totally wrong timing and tbf, I think WG needs to get the balance right first before I can get the fuzzy warm feeling for such ships back because I believe they are going a bit overboard lately.

Kiev Class carrier is first actual carrier for Soviet union  I say no or all other nations require Jet powered aircraft on their carriers too!

yak36's were probably worse than the RTS tier 4 fighters.  lol

 

Yak no 10 looks interesting.

The only thing I feel like discussing with you at the mention of more soviet ships is to perhaps ask you which cliff you want to go over? The soviets can only have one cv (like in real life) and it has to be burning at the start of the game (like in real life), and full of rust and flakey paint (like in real life), oh, and no engine (like in real life).

Soviet CV specialty:
They are more team support orientated and poses good survivability:

 

Clad in 60mm armor everywhere + underwater citadel with 40mm roof

130mm dual-purpose secondaries +37/45/57mm AA

 

Planes:

1st plane type: Gunships (Il-2 / Il-10 derivative) armed with 37mm auto-cannons allowing them to strave planes and damage ships both directly and by setting fires with incendiary ammunition:

45mm penetration, 2% fire change 200hp damage per shot

Squadron: 2x4

Each attack delivers 100 round per plane (80.000 theoretical citadel damage / 26,666 normal in full 4 plane wave vs ships if all shots hit & Penetrate)


2nd type -Rocket planes with special ability -they can damage consumables like radar & hydro and they do additional damage to AA modules

 

3rd type- Carpet bombers with special ability -they can drop medium sized smoke screens to hide allies

 

Seems balans?

russian cvs have the ability to alpha strike with entire squadrons at once, and they can make their fighters follow and attack enemy squadrons at will, they also control multible squadrons at once

I'm sure the Saint Papersburg Design Bureau will make up something nice and cozy - as usual

The Soviets had over 30 different projects for aircraft carriers (but this was after the war in the late 40s and none of them ever materialized).

-Planes with 15km 50 second radar.
-The carrier itself has a very vulnerable citadel, but the ship would be 2 pixels tall so you cant actually shoot it *cough* petro
-Or it would have a very vulnerable citadel that's sloped inwards at a 45° angle making it impossible to citadel at anything other than point-blank range *Rough cough* kremlin

I'm being sarcastic, russian bias is a meme, and I'm not expecting Russian CVs anytime soon.

(sloped kremlin side plating is BS though, always been BS)

No, pls, no. Do not suggest 'anything'.

Let WG shove this particular (imo) farce onto WoWS all on their own (without any player assistance).

The VMF has been pondering this thought since CV became a thing in naval warfare, but after a lot of grotesquely flawed designs, "possible" turned into "unlikely", and today the correct term is "nonexistent".
