Yes, as it is written in the article:

Malta will become available in the Armory in exchange for Coal on: Fri. 28 Oct. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Thanks.

I see only one Bomber on Malta's deck. Shouldn't there be several of them there? It seems that nobody (but me) cares...

Seems pretty broken.... (Duuuuh), changed up my new Coal target from Napoli to this Cancer instead, probably get it in december with the new coupon. Time for some carpet bombings Babyyyy! Just wish they looked like the ones in the Lemmings game.

I have it but it is not as broken as I expected. Yeah sure you can blap light cruisers pretty damn good. 

But the LULZ depends largely on the amount of them on the reds, once you're out of light cruisers the LULZ are kinda over.
Unless they have a Nahkimov. You can take half of the health in one drop because he doesn't have an armoured deck... :Smile_trollface:
That fun only lasts 2 or 3 drops though, then he is dead. :Smile_veryhappy:

The torps are also very good.

33% more planes than audacious with much faster plane regen make them a very effective resource.

 

You also get bigger rocket squads firing more rockets and again with fast regen.

 

The regen of the bombs squads is again ridiculous as it’s combined with a 41k total squad hit point pool.

 

Malta has two very good plane types and it’s attack planes are also some of the best at tier ten.

That seems to be the ideal carrier for the rest of the team. Kills Nakhimovs and Smolensks and lets the your team do the rest.

Idk, looked at a lot of videos of Malta on YT (Cherry picked ofc) and it seemed like it got a whole lot of 15 K salvos on BBs with carpet bombs and I think it was Trenlass that got 2 cits in one go on a Hindenburg. And torps seemed no joke as well. And also having lowered delay on rockets compared to other carriers which of course makes it easier to take correct lead on enemy DDs manouvering.

The rocket planes are definitely not better than Audacious ones, at least not against DDs.

Powercrept. 

 

She might get nerffed soon. WG don't like British CV, just look at the empty rocket holders on the wings of Audacious rocket planes. WG thinks Audacious rockets are OP even if they have the lowest pen of all T10 CV.

I got 2 cits on a Hindy as well, but i do not see what is so special about that. 
Mind a bomb from a German CV or IJN Cv hurts a lot more. 

And Malta bombs are basically RNG. Same as FDR carpet bombs.

 

Torps are good... I usually hit all 4. Not much flooding chance on 'em I think, or maybe I'm unlucky.

Rockets, some sort of FDR-like problem: you need to park 2 DDs end-on-end else you'll miss lots of them anyway. :Smile_teethhappy:

You might be right. More rockets but the reticle is larger.

But the plane respawn rate is much faster.

True but you shouldn't lose that many. I do not run out of planes on Audacious. 
So that difference is good for people that do, but makes no difference if you're savvy enough.

Just a quick warning for those thinking of buying.

The citadel is huge and far higher than any i've seen in game.

 

The slightest broadside eats multiple citadels.

 

Possibly this is how they balance the strong planes?

Not really balancing when it never has to show itself tho....
