Should've been firing HE. They'll never put her flight deck out of commission with AP...
Course they have cruiser scale armor belts that will set off AP shells meaning if you hit the engine area you can do tens of thousands of damage a hit, it's a trade off but if I'm close enough to have a reasonable chance of placing the rounds mid ship I honestly load AP and shot for the waterline on most CVs.

I think I prefer HE mainly because not killing a CV right away, but making it incapable of actually doing anything, punishes the lazy map-clicker who's driving it more than just sinking him would. :)
(NOTE: Joke. The author does not actually condone griefing carrier players in World of Warships. Even if they are lazy map-clickers. :)

Wouldn't this be a Kamikaze strike instead?
Well, the arrow didn't turn into a squadron of Zeros before it hit. Maybe they have a minimum arming distance, like air-dropped torpedoes.
