Between kaga, enterprise, graf zepplin n saipan which 1 is the best t8 premium cv?

[Huehuehue]

Between the 4 cvs which 1 the best and why? Thanks in advance

If I had to choose one, I would opt for Kaga or Enterprise.

Kaga has enough planes that she can stomach losses and has HE DB's which really help against DDs. She drops 4 torps at a time and while they do not do as much damage as other torps, you are much more likely to land hits. If you grab concealment mod and capt skill your TBs have spotting range of like 6 which helps with the AA if you can aim from 5kms out. Overall, this is my preferred ship

Saipan fairs poorly since teh rework since you are often uptiered and reserves of 3 AC mean you will be deplaned very quickly. No matter how nice the planes, Tier IX and X AA is grossly OP to placate drooling masses. (DD players are the only party with legitimate complaints).

Enterprise is a good ship.It has AP DBs and better quality rockets so can deal with any other ship. It has bigger fighter deployables that will decimate other players squadrons. She recharges planes quickly and the only downside is the torp planes are about as fast a biplanes. They can drop close and can land hits but map travel . . . .

Graf Zeppelin. No comment fast planes help get around but I know nothing else.

I agree with the above. Kaga is really good. Some pros and cons of the Kaga:

+Huge amount of reserve planes means you can accept some heavier losses.
+Torpedo bombers drop 4 torpedoes at once. You can deal some good damage if you hit with all of them and higher chance of starting a flood in the enemy ship.
+HE dive bombers can deal a lot more damage than Shokaku's AP bombers (unless you manage to hit them citadels)
+Decent secondary armament if those pesky destroyers get near you.
+Slightly more ship HP than on shokaku.

-Rocket planes are very weak, they are only useful as scouts and self-defense or to finish very low hp ships.
-Your planes are lower tier than your ship, so if you are bottom tier, you will have harder time.
-The orange zone (when aiming torpedoes) seems to be slightly longer than on shokaku and ryujo so you have to lead your torpedoes a bit more.
-Slower airplanes than on shokaku.

Thats what I can think off. Don't have the other premium CVs, but I'd probably try out Enterprise next over the Saipan and Graf Zeppelin.

I see I can but if between enterprise and kaga which has better change to survive in a t10 battle??

Many thanks but in t10 battle between enterprise n kaga which has the better engagement n survivability change

Do not buy them if you are interested because of the Wiki details they provide in the shop page. The information is outdated and the stats of 3 out of 4 ships is massively different. The Large hanger capacities are false info and in 3/4 cases they miss nearly 50% of the advertised hanger capacity.

edit: I found out the hard way, currently having a ticket with WarGaming about False Advertisement.

That depends on the tier X ships. If your up against Montanas and Worcestors it wont matter you will be a spotter at best. If against Shimakaze you can do decent damage. When in a Tier X match, I prefer Kaga because torps have 5 KM range and AA only goes out to 6.3 so you can at least drop the torps. Rotate your squadrons and be very patient for lone ships or DDs and you can get damage in. This is just me. Kaga planes take losses constantly even in tier 8 so you just learn how to manage and the only difference is how fast they die. (I do not take torpedo acceleration with IJN)

Enterprise planes have to get get close via dive bombers or torpedo bombers with slow torps that arm quickly and often get emasculated enroute with tier X AA.

Saipan is the real loser when uptiered.
