'''Aircraft Carrier''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants the Monkey Buccaneer sub-towers which are aircraft visually resembling smaller [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Aces]], and attack similarly to [[Fighter Plane (BTD6)|Fighter Planes]]. Aircraft Carriers can deploy up to three aircraft at a time, with a cooldown of 1.25 seconds between each deployment. | '''Aircraft Carrier''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

The main [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]] attacks remained unchanged, except 4-2-0, with burning damage increased from 2 to 4. | ||

MOAB Missiles are fired at [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], if any are on screen. They have strong seeking and can only hit and damage MOAB-Class Bloons.

Aircraft Carrier is a strong mid-game tower, dealing well-rounded damage to grouped Bloons and blimps. It functions the best on maps with one lane per round, where its planes are more reliable. On maps with simultaneous lanes, the planes frequently chase and have inconsistent targeting, though they remain strong and can be made to work by retrying rounds. | |||
For the crosspath, 4-2-0 is superior if the {{BTD6|Destroyer}} attack can be used and the base range reaches all lanes. However, 4-0-2 is stronger otherwise, due to improved pierce for the planes' darts and innate {{BTD6|Camo Bloon}} detection. | |||
When using a strategy centered around Aircraft Carrier spam, upgrade one to {{BTD6|Carrier Flagship}} for improved damage and the substantial speed buff to all Buccaneers. {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}} is also recommended for Aircraft Carrier spam, thanks to her Naval Tactics ability. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Despite its portrait only having turrets at the front and the tower no longer turning to attack, it can still attack in a full circle. | |||
