As the fastest carrier-based torpedoes with a short arming distance, this armament deals damage with consistency. Manfred von Richthofen's torpedo bombers are an intermediate squadron to be used when the other squadrons are returning to the hull. Because of this, captains must always aim for ship broadsides. However, this also causes over-penetrations on destroyers and ricochets at extreme angles. These munitions are similar to cruiser AP and can citadel most cruisers. With its high speed, agility, and short machine gun period, this armament is consistent against agile targets. One squadron contains 9 aircraft divided into 3 strikes that each fire 12 rockets. Unlike most other carriers, Manfred von Richthofen's attack aircraft carry armor-piercing rockets. However, this comes at the cost of fragile squadrons and low plane reserves. Her high average plane speed lets her quickly react to enemy movements and provides support anywhere on the map. Manfred von Richthofen is a carrier that specializes in dealing irreparable damage to all ship classes.
