Abilities
- Carries jet fighters up to its cargo volume (a m³ budget).
- Its attack comes from the embarked jets it projects into battle. An empty carrier has no air strike of its own, so its combat power scales with the jets loaded aboard.
Counters
Aircraft Carrier has no hard counters and is not a hard counter to anything, it trades on raw stats.
Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See Units#Counters for the full matrix.
Production
Trained at the Naval Base. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see Stats).
Aircraft Carrier uses no ammunition.
Movement and transport
As a naval unit it operates on sea nodes and cannot enter land districts.
It carries jet fighters, up to its cargo volume (a m³ budget).
Tips
- An empty carrier has no air strike of its own; its combat power is the jets embarked, so fill it before sailing into contact.
- Embarked jets keep their limits: they cannot counter other jets, and Anti-Air and Frigates return fire against them.
