[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #176 Posted October 1, 2016 It's not so much the 20% increase in power, it's the ease of making torp runs. Would benefit the IJN far more than the USN who only have 1 torp bomber squad unless it's the Saipan. But yeah I haven't played CV since 0.5.12... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CG] Redcap375 Players 4,371 posts 15,291 battles Report post #179 Posted December 13, 2016 CV captain that has never got round to buying this thing.. Borrowed it form my Clan mates and 2 games, 2 wins (4 kills in one). Why didn't i buy it then? Because, at the time (before Hiryu CV nerf bat swung) i enjoyed the Hiryu CV more and was, IMHO, better. 2-2-2 was hard to beat and still is (Sho). Since then nerfs, AA and more ammo have been thrown into the mix, so it might appeal to me more but.... I just remember owning them whenever i faced one Tier 7 is the only tier i don't play CVs . Lex is a better Ranger, Hiryu got plane nerfed and tier 7 is the "AA of death" tier. Saipan Planes are tier 9 but if you lose just one torp plane you feel it (not hard to do with Atlantas, Clevelands, Pens, Kuv, NC, Gue, Bis, anything really knocking around) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-SBF-] Lieut_Gruber Alpha Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 828 posts 17,211 battles Report post #180 Posted January 15, 2017 I just got a Saipan, and i love it. Uptil now i have owned almost every cv i faced in air combat, and the torpedobombers own because they are so fast. I have not tried the divebombers yet, since i dont think i need a 3rd fighter sqd.

[NSN] Ragweek Players 309 posts 9,074 battles Report post #181 Posted January 15, 2017 It is great but Is getting a major nerf in the new patch... The now t3 skill id getting moved to a T1 skill allowing the fighters to be stronger against higher Tier fighters. This will be a must now with the added load out bonus... Also the lowering of the air supremacy skill ( form 5 to 4) will mean all CVs's at T7 will have the extra fighters and dive bombes in their units. That means the Saipan fighters will no long be the best in game at their tier.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[IRAN] SILENT_HUNTER_XX Players 174 posts 26,535 battles Report post #189 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Given that Saipan Is Preimum ship The number of planes is very low The number of squadrons is also to be understood as 2 Squadron Fighter 1 dive bomber 2 Torpedo bomber Planes must be a maximum of 72 numbers Each squadron must be 5 aircraft This post has been edited by the moderation team due to use of red Edited March 20, 2017 by VMX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #190 Posted March 17, 2017 Saipan is an excellent CV... She may have a low number of planes but they're T9 on a T7 ship. There's enough to last you a battle if well managed. You're asking for massive buffs. The planes speed means your down time is a fraction of normal CVs and you can choose your engagements also due to their pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
