Here's our First Look at Tier X Premium British aircraft carrier HMS Malta. For as underwhelming as Tier X tech tree carrier HMS Audacious is, I am intrigued by Malta. She seems to "solve" one of Audacious' biggest problems - slow plane regeneration - by coming to the table with some of the fastest plane regen rates in the tier. Married to the robust health of British planes and bringing a new concept for the British level bombers, I could see this being a Tier X carrier I would play on the regular. Let's dive in and learn more.
