Bombers? Fighters? Escort fleet? What, are you trying to use aircraft carriers as a solo capital ship with no backup and no attack planes? Carriers are intentionally not beefed up and are meant to be a support ship that requires separate defense to keep it from getting killed, though it has a massive range for the aircraft that lets you keep anything at a far distance if you actually use the aircraft you get from the carrier

It has fighters that can sink the dread even tho dread doesnt see the aircraft carrier

Aircraft Carriers have an extreme range for their aircraft to fly, if you are close enough to a dread that you get sunk you have done something wrong. On that same front If you dont have at the very least a destroyer by your side youre doing something wrong

You all are so good at reading :)
