Indomitable

Indomitable

• Tier 8 Indomitable excels at high speed hit and run attacks thanks to her lighting fast bombers. However, she lacks the big alpha strike of other CVs and cannot flood opponents due to a lack of torpedo bombers
• Uses a custom CV build as she has no torp bombers to buff
  • For better fighter support, trade Pyrotechnician for Patrol Group Leader and Search and Destroy
• Indomitable’s gameplay revolves around her powerful Level Bombers and abusing DoT to farm damage. Scout with your rockets and harass DDs/isolated ship as you look for isolated and/or important targets. Pay attention to DCP use in particular. When the time is right, send your DBs over and farm the unfortunate target for maximum fire damage. Repeat process until everything is dead
  • Rockets are best for scouting and attacking in-between bomber strikes. They have 28mm HE pen, so ideal for hitting DDs and cruisers.
  • HE DBs are your main damage dealers. They will tear any lightly armored target apart, including BBs with their amazing fire chance. Bombs pen 33mm armor. Most high tier BBs resist them, so you will rely more on fire chance.
  • Indom can “slingshot” her HE bombers:
    • Start an attack run at ~7-8km from the enemy.
    • Drop the bombs (doesn’t need to hit anything)
    • Accerate the bomber squad as the bombs are falling
    • If done correctly, you should be ~3km above the enemy and in position for the main strike
    • Indom abuses an old DB mechanic where you can effectively bypass AA defenses during the invincibility period. Aka. the period after the attack, but before you regain control of the planes. It was patched out for every other CV with the exception of Indom. Very useful vs high AA targets like Worcester or Goulden Leeuw
