The platforms can only fit towers with a Medium [[footprint]] or smaller and are considered land. If Carrier Flagship is sold or sacrificed, all towers on its platforms are forcibly sold as well, unless it is upgraded to [[Navarch of the Seas]], which will relocate all towers to their respective sides of the Navarch platforms, and only keep the first towers that are placed on each platform. | ||
These platforms may allow towers to be placed in otherwise inaccessible locations, such as directly on the track and over placement blockers. Towers placed there have increased height, with the right platform being higher than the left. This allows them to see over some line-of-sight blockers. | These platforms may allow towers to be placed in otherwise inaccessible locations, such as directly on the track and over placement blockers.

{{BTD6 last updated|55.2|section=y}} | |||
Carrier Flagship significantly improves on its previous upgrade, {{BTD6|Aircraft Carrier}}, dealing significantly more damage across the board. Like Aircraft Carrier, Carrier Flagship functions the best on maps with one lane per round, where its planes are more reliable. On maps with simultaneous lanes, the planes' targeting becomes inconsistent, making it less suitable for Black Border runs. | |||
As with Aircraft Carrier, {{BTD6|Hot Shots}} is the superior crosspath if the base range reaches all lanes, allowing the {{BTD6|Destroyer}} attack to function well. Otherwise, {{BTD6|Crow's Nest}} is the superior crosspath, due to increased plane dart pierce and innate {{BTD6|Camo Bloon}} detection. {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}} is the optimal [[Hero]] for Carrier Flagship, thanks to her Naval Tactics ability doubling attack speed and granting {{BTD6|DDT}} popping power, which the planes' forward-firing darts lack even with Hot Shots. | |||
The substantial attack speed boost makes Carrier Flagship a strong addition to nearly all water-based strategies. The boost also applies to water {{BTD6|Sun Temple}}s, making Carrier Flagship a strong [[Freeplay]] tower if [[Navarch of the Seas]] is not desired due to ending stalls. The platforms are useful for adding more space and allowing towers to be unhindered by the line-of-sight of many maps on the top platform, though their most notable use is allowing {{BTD6|Overdrive}} and {{BTD6|The Tack Zone}} to be directly placed on the track and deal extreme damage. | |||
