Aircraft

Aircraft
Aircraft are air vehicles that can be mounted on Drone Carrier's or Carriers or some premium ships. They are fast moving and attack enemies that the ship cannot attack due to range or vision. Aircraft have a set amount of HP and are targeted by CIWS and the 40mm AA gun. There are two types of aircraft, Drones and Planes. If you target a ship and send aircraft on a attack order to them and they fall off the radar, the aircraft will still attack the enemy.

Drones:
Small hovering aircraft that attack in a way similar to CIWS. They hover over targets and fire a slow firing machine gun, dealing low but steady damage. They are quite slow and due to their speed and low DPM, are best suited against PTs and frigates and destroyers. Purchasable ships can come with custom, Helicopter drones, the only real difference is appearance with minor damage boosts.

Planes:
Planes are long ranged aircraft, that have high speed and slow firing bombs that function similar to missiles, only they cant be shot down. Planes have lower HP then Drones, and have limited ammo and must return to the ship after spending their ammo. They are very fast, and best suited for long range. There is only one type of free plane, but you can purchase more planes via planes pack or special ships. However a annoying bug with planes is that if they come in at a odd angle, instead of landing they will cirlce the ship until you tell them to attack and return again to attempt to fix the problem. This can be avoided by driving backwards facing the incoming planes.
