More practiced players of Ark Royal may take advantage of this short arming time by conducting attacks against potentially distracted destroyers, with even one hit being able to cause significant damage. They also feature a very short arming distance, giving foes little time to react to a well timed drop. While they are glacially slow with a top speed of only 133 knots, being only Tier IV planes, they are capable of dropping 3 torpedoes per drop, the most of any tier 6 carrier and thus giving her the highest torpedo alpha damage among her contemporaries. The torpedo bombers should be considered the primary weapon of the Ark Royal against battleships and cruisers. Only consider using them in the beginning of the match to spare your other two squadrons or for quick damage when the other squadrons need to replenish their numbers. While the aircraft themselves have relatively high hp pools, they are rather slow, with the rockets themselves doing relatively low damage while firing in a fairly wide spread.

They are the same attack aircraft as the stock attack planes found on Furious but with one more aircraft per drop to fire a barrage of 12 rockets. Perhaps the most unremarkable of Ark Royal's squadrons.
