Modern Warships Newbie Aircraft Carrier Recommendations Which aircraft carrier should newbies play in Modern Warships

In the modern warship game, new players can indeed be easily confused, and often blindly choose the Ford when selecting a carrier. However, this is not the optimal solution. Today, I will guide you on how to choose a carrier for beginners in modern warships. The core of a carrier is essentially two points: air power suppression and survival. From ship selection to operation, we will help new players understand how to select their first carrier and avoid unnecessary detours.

The recommended first carrier for beginners is the Shandong (Tier 2) or the Kuznetsov (Tier 3). The Shandong is the most beginner-friendly carrier, with 10 anti-air slots capable of intercepting most aircraft and missiles, making it highly survivable. Equip the Starfish (SSM-700K) missile for close-range destruction of fragile ships, use the ASROC rocket launcher for anti-submarine warfare, and always choose the Osprey helicopter (for both anti-submarine and reconnaissance). At the start of the battle, hide at the edge of the map or behind mountains, prioritize using your aircraft to attack destroyers and submarines, and manually switch your anti-air to target missiles and bombers. When low on health, activate the repair skill to stay alive, suitable for those who struggle with manual control.

The Kuznetsov has one more missile slot than the Shandong, offering stronger firepower but slightly weaker air defense. Primary weapons include the Granite missile (for long-range attrition) and the Starfish (for close-range burst), with Pantsir-M (medium-range interception) and Kashtan (close-range rapid fire) for air defense. Maintain a distance of 8-10 kilometers at the beginning, use the Granite to wear down battleships, and switch to the Starfish when they are low on health. Be mindful of torpedoes and don't release all your aircraft at once, save half for defense against ambushes.

The Starfish missile (the strongest common missile in Tier 2) is a must, as it deals the highest damage, leaving a destroyer severely damaged after just two hits at close range, and its damage doubles when upgraded to purple. Equip the Osprey helicopter (for anti-submarine and reconnaissance) and use the ASROC rocket launcher to clear submarines. Prioritize upgrading to Curved or Pantsir-M for air defense, and manually switch targets to counter anti-ship missiles. Use the Oto 76 (automatic air defense) or 210mm (high damage) main gun, adjusting based on the map.

Gold should be prioritized for upgrading missiles and aircraft, with blue upgrades sufficient for the rocket launcher. Focus on acquiring Starfish fragments during weekly events. Anti-submarine rocket launchers and the Osprey are essential. When encountering ships with strong air defense (such as the CG-73), engage in guerrilla tactics around mountains, and team up with the Type 054A frigate to cover air defense weaknesses.

Playing a carrier as a beginner is actually quite simple. I recommend choosing either the Shandong or the Kuznetsov, fully upgrading the missiles, and staying behind to provide support. Following this strategy, you can steadily earn gold in bot matches and even assist in real player matches. Focus on developing one ship, don’t spread resources, and upgrade to hypersonic missiles and stealth aircraft to increase strength once proficient.
