The carrier is simply something to help give your fleet a backbone and protects everything in 112 and means you don’t have to land a t bomber in Holland (from Germany). It protects your transports if you are threatening sea lion and can be used to protect sea units at Gibraltar or 127 (Archangel). If you can get it to the Mediterranean Sea it can really help Italy too. The only con is that it does virtually nothing against Russia.
So basically, do you think being in 112 is useful? Do you like to threaten (not take) Sea Lion to help Itake? Do you like hoping Italy in the Med? Do you like taking Gibraltar? Maybe getting South Africa every ten games? Do you like feigning Sea Lion then hitting Leningrad? If you answered yes to any of these, a carrier can be useful.
What happens to aircraft if carrier is destroyed

I Was attacked while playing japan by the US with just 2 aircraft carrier and 4 planes and sub. I had a damaged battleship, 2 damaged aircraft carriers, destroyer and 3 scrambled aircraft to defend with. After multiple combat rolls the US was down to 2 aircraft no carriers no where to land. I had a damaged battle ship and 2 aircraft. Can the attacker keep rolling?

@maddabout good day. The attacker can still attack. It doesn’t matter, if he no longer has sone where to land.

@Witt
What happens to the attackers planes after the combat roll? There is no place for the planes to land. Does the attacker loose the planes.Thanks so much

@maddabout if the attacking power had an Aircraft Carrier in range , that isn’t picking up other planes that can’t land anywhere else , the surviving Planes will crash into the sea and are eliminated. This is a legal move .
But as I have said , if a Carrier can save them, it must move to the SZ to do so. -
which brings up the fun option of sending in fighters to attack with an unlikely landing spot. For example, lets say Japan has 8 transports in the Sea of Japan, but a massive fleet stationed a zone away making it hard for your Allied fleet to create a valid landing spot. You can attack the massive IJN fleet with a single sub which “in theory” could win the battle, and send a fighter to attack the transports with the potential option to land back in the zone that the sub opened up.
The transports are sunk, the allied sub is lost, and sadly there is no valid landing zone so the fighter crashes after the not-completely kamikaze mission. TripleA handles this correctly.
