Build Notes

This is the build for legendary upgrade midway.

Midway is one of the strongest carriers in the game, however many players will dismiss it as so and it's generally considered a beginner CV. Whilst the USN line is a good choice for learning to play CV it is also incredibly strong in the hands of a skilled player.

Gameplay:

Watch the game. Consider possible targets and plan your next strike so that the moment you take off you know where you want to go. Strike destroyers and ships trying to play objectives first, use your torpedo bombers on pushing or kiting battleships to flood them and make them vulnerable to your team. Learning to hit destroyers effectively with the bombers gives you a massive advantage.

Rockets:
Use rockets as an in-between against cruisers/BBs, to set fires and to hunt destroyers. They're your best tool against CLs like Smolensk or Worcester and are generally quite good against cruisers.

HE dive bombers:
These are the main armament of this build especially and you should use them often. Be careful about using these when there are groups of enemies very close together but hunt DDs that threaten capturing objectives and bully ships that are going alone with these. The only thing they aren't very effective against are CLs

Torpedo bombers:
these are incredibly strong against battleships. A flood is almost guaranteed if you hit all 6 of them. Two strikes with these is enough to threaten most battleships in the game and change the outcome of a fight/push.
