Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.

Pros:

• Tactical planes have high speed and deal high damage
• Standard planes have rocket boosters
• 5 different plane types in total
• Tactical planes have a cooldown but are unlimited in use

Cons:

• Tactical planes do not regenerate rocket boosters
• Standard planes are not as effective at dealing with Anti Air
• Deck is only 38mm, therefore vulnerable to ship artillery and anti-carrier play

Research

As a top-tier ship, United States has no module upgrades to research.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage (the three have identical effects) can be equipped for credits to lower her detection radius and reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip United States with the Type 0 permanent camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns. Note that the Type 0 permanent camouflage does not provide any increase to credit earnings or reduction to service costs.

    • Decreased individual aircraft HP from 1,610 to 1,074.
  • Minor fixes to geometry and textures of the ship.
• DevBlog 308:
  • Slightly increased the altitude of Attack aircraft squadrons when aiming and firing. This change will not affect gameplay.
  • Deck armor thickness increased from 25 to 38 mm.
  • Detectability range by sea decreased from 17.8 to 16 km.
  • Detectability range by air decreased from 15.5 to 14.5 km.
  • Tactical Torpedo Bomber Squadron:
    • Maximum torpedo damage decreased from 13,733 to 8,200.
    • Number of aircraft increased from 2 to 3.
    • Aircraft preparation time decreased from 240 to 150 s.
    • Continuous AA damage reduction applied to the attacking flight during an attack run decreased from -50% to -30%.

• Update 0.11.3:
  • Added to the US tech tree as a special ship unlocked once the player researches Tier 10 Carrier Midway, then purchased for 48,000,000 credits.
• Update 0.11.4:
  • Preparation time of the tactical attack aircraft squadron increased from 150 to 170 s.
  • Preparation time of the tactical torpedo bombers squadron increased from 150 to 195 s.
