## Background History

The **CVX** (formerly known as **LPX-II**, Hangul: 대형수송함-II) is a class of aircraft carriers currently under development for the Republic of Korea Navy. The class is follow-on from the previous *Dokdo*-class amphibious assault ships which prioritized amphibious capability while the CVX will be designed for fixed wing and rotary wing operations instead, constituting a traditional aircraft carrier. The planned development of the class was formally announced and funded as part of the 2020~2024 Mid-Term Defense Plan (국방중기계획), published in December 2020.

## Overview

An excellent carrier, and one with many helicopters, the CVX can pose a serious threat to enemy, well, everything. Combine that with its high mobility, and most will see why the CVX is suitable for any map. Unlike other warships in the game, the CVX can deploy three separate squadrons of helicopters consecutively, and has 6 air units in total.

## Tactics

### Playing as a CVX

The CVX is vulnerable to torpedoes, so stay away from submarines. Use the ship's mobility to your advantage, and use your 3 missiles as offense as well as defense. Switch between your aircraft and deal huge damage from above, but make sure to monitor your vessel's health.

### Playing along a CVX

Defend it from torpedoes and help it in the air defense department, as it has only 4 AA mounts, complemented by RAPIDFire's if you use them. As CVX has 3 missiles to destroy or defend, assist it in that too.

### Playing against a CVX

Battleships and submarines are in the best position to take out carriers, including the CVX. Spamming torpedoes or guns should do the trick. However, bear in mind that subs and battleships are noticably slower than the CVX.

## Suggested Armaments Setup

The ship, with its flexible armaments setup, can be armed with various weapons that will furthermore improve the ship's performance. Below are some suggested weapons setup. But, bear in mind that these are just suggestions.

•Strike Fighter: F-35 Lightning II (for high damage), F/A-XX (for a multipurpose aircraft).

•Drone: FL-71

•Air defense: SEA RAM, Garpun (30mm), Type 730C (for those below Level 25)

•Helicopter(s): MUH-1 marineron or AP Phoenix (For added defense against ground targets) or Comanche (For anti-submarine defense)

•Missile: Prometheus (to attack airborne and ground targets), DF-17, CHAMP, RUM-13Swarmer (to attack submerged submarines), SCALP Naval (useful for surface combatants, like DF)

•Autocannon: Gibka (to deal additional damage to ground targets), RAPIDFire (additional AA, highly recommend), Typhoon MLS NLOS (same purpose)

## Advantages and Disadvantages

### Advantages

* High durability, capable of taking significant damage during battle.
* High speed.
* Comes equipped with triple missile launchers.
* Can deploy three helicopters, which greatly increases its effectiveness against submarines.
* High radar range

### Disadvantages

* Lacks Fighter aircraft.
* Poor anti-air defense, especially for an aircraft carrier, but can be made up for with anti-air autocannons.

## Trivia

* The ship's durability was increased from 245,000 to 314,600 in an update released during August 27, 2021.
* It was then increased to 410,00 in another HP rebalancing update.
