That was my Mog CV that took down all those DDs (2 Didos that game too). Its a wierd ship to play. I usually start in the back like a CV. I carry 6 fighters (2 pilots), 6DB. I might go with 2 more fighters and one less DB. When planes are gone (which happens a lot when facing real CVs), I play as a CA. I get fighters up and out front first, then do some DB runs. The nice thing about the Mog CV is that you can make money any way you like - DBing, gunning, torping or shooting down planes with fighters all with the same ship.
I use the 8 inch EDs. I don't go looking for other ships, so I don't need range, and since the guns are used primarily for defending myself, I like the faster ROF the Ds have. I use heavy HE for bigger holes in targets. Usually when I'm shooting at other ships, its because the've gotten through the light forces in front of me. That's where I got all those DDs. I try and turn into my target and close the range as fast as possible. The bow guns can sink a full health DD in 2 salvos if you hit with enough shells. I've sunk CAs with them before. No one expects you in a CV to rush a CA. You HAVE to make sure you have no planes landing when you're close to enemy ships though, they get shot down automatically.
I use torps for self defence, always have - I went the gun route.
Lots of deck, bulge. 1 repair, 1 restore. I might go with bulkhead instead of deck - any ideas from people?
Its a wierd ship to use - you need to concentrate on guns or planes, its tough to do both. You make good money for gunning.
One last thing...since you have a rare ship, everyone goes for you. People bypass more valuable targets to shoot at me all the time. And that's everyone from BBs to FFs.
