AD-4 was Korean War, but I’d say that would be the limit
playable carrier BR 's probably won’t have much to do w/ the BR 's of the aircraft, since ( as we’re seeing from their modelling in the files here and in mobile ) the aircraft are simply the weapon of the ship, rather than being independent or separately researched.
If they were based around that, you would quickly run into issues w/ things like Lexington CV-2 - already represented ingame in her last 8in gun forme - whose aircraft are not higher than 3.0 on their own. Obviously it would be unreasonable for any ship ±1.0 of that BR to be matched w/ that even if the aircraft were not usable at all ! And, it 's not the only carrier in a situation like that.
I expect the lower limit for carrier BR 's to far exceed the BR 's of their aircraft, so that the conventionally-armed ships they are matched w/ would not find it completely impossible to damage them to destruction using their guns if given the chance. So, probably not much lower than 5.0 in the current situation.

not if they have there own spawn which puts them farther away from the battle because carriers were always farther behind.

i feel like if anything they would have to do there research on the carrier from ww2 and see what form they would go with.
My bet being we will have a Battle of Midway event where you control fighter wings when that happens it’s for sure coming.

Or a mission to kill Yamato. But instead of Yamato, you have to kill Soyuz, because I hate that thing

I know its a joke but Battle of Midway just has a lot of Decal opportunities for the event. (This is my bet)

So you expect unfair advantage for them? How long it should be 40km, 100km, 150km from battle? Behind the mountain? WT is at least semi realistic with 1-1.5 planes launched per minute you need 5 minutes only to launch the aircraft flight and another couple to gather them. On time when they arrive to the battle it will be over and will face 5.3-6.0 cruisers with outdated planes or you expect that early CA will fight vs reserve destroyers from 3.3?
Here’s a concept I made a while back on how aircraft carriers could work: Playable Aircraft Carriers [Concept]
Lemme know what yall think of it!

Yes but Naval EC is perfect for ships.

type 52 destroyers are quite a bit more modern than what we have in game. I don’t know what is next to the US one tho

Good thing in game the toilet shortage should not be a issue.
Fujian is likely the newest warship in game and Ford is our first atomic powered ship!
2nd actually, the USS California ( which are shown escorting it in today 's teaser ) was the first nuclear-power ship in WT. gford will be the first aircraft carrier to be nuclear ingame though.
Which is interesting, since in Bvvd 's statement post earlier this year where Fujian was announced to be in development, the western carrier he said would be coming w/ her was Nimitz … maybe we’ll find out what 's happening wrt that in the devstream/devserver soon.

Don’t worry we can fix it!
I wonder, will she be steam, or electromatic

If Fujian and Gerald R. Ford catapult gives gives of steem Gaijin dropped the ball. Have to say personally Fujian is a cleaner looking ship less bits and bobs. But it’s nice we got these AI ships.
Hopefully we get aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk as a jacked Sovet Carrier she is a bigger size then the one we have therefore a bit easier to land on.
Oh,.those navalized Berkuts a very cute to see
