Mechanics

Seaplane Tenders (AV) notably utilize Reconnaissance SeaplaneRecon/Seaplane BomberBomber/Seaplane Fighter seaplane Recons/Bombers/Fighters, as well as some Main Guns and Midget SubmarineMinisub Midget Submarines, participating in most Combat stages, given the correct setup. They can also be used for an Anti-Installation role, as they can carry most Anti-Ground Equipment.

Gameplay Notes

Notable equipability differences
Ship Can equip:
Midget Submarines Landing Craft Medium Caliber Main Guns Small Sonars Large Flying Boats Notable other
Chitose-class A ✔️ ✔️ -
Mizuho Kai ✔️ ✔️ -
Kamoi Kai ✔️ ✔️ -
Nisshin A ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ -
Mikuma Kai Ni Toku ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ Torpedoes, AA Shells
Akitsushima Kai ✔️ ✔️ Ship Repair Facility
Commandant Teste Kai ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ -
  • Seaplane tenders may perform ASW (an SPB or Rotorcraft is required for this); they may additionally equip depth charges (and for Akitsushima Kai, Nisshin Kai+ sonars for the ASW synergy).
  • Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be remodeled into light aircraft carriers at level 15, losing all the specialties of seaplane tenders, but in turn, gaining all the specialties of fast light aircraft carriers.
  • Required for expedition 36 and quest A9.
    • Expedition 36 requires 2 AVs. As Expedition 36 is needed to unlock Expedition 37, 38, and 39, and as expeditions 37 and 38 have a very high resources return per hour, it is advisable (if either Mizuho and/or Akitsushima was not obtained) to keep an extra Chitose and/or Chiyoda in their AV form until expedition 36 is cleared.
  • Expedition 40 also requires 2 AVs.
  • AV can be used for expeditions that require CV.
    • The running cost of unremodeled Chitose-class seaplane tenders is equal to or lower than all CV and CVLs (except Houshou). This makes unremodeled Chitose and Chiyoda great members for expeditions requiring CV.
