Ship:United States

11

48,000,000

United States — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier 11 Aircraft Carrier.

USS United States was designed as the flagship of a series of five attack aircraft carriers of a new class. These ships were intended to operate jet bombers, and their flight deck was structurally integrated into their load-bearing hull structure for this purpose. USS United States was intended to operate as part of a task force alongside conventional strike aircraft carriers that would provide air cover for the task force. The ship was laid down at the Newport News shipyard, but her construction was abruptly halted five days later.

Pros

• Tactical squadrons available
• Large ship HP pool
• Large squadron HP pool
• Above average AA defenses

Cons

• Below average aircraft speed
• Tactical squadrons carry few armaments

Ship Change Log

• Preliminary characteristics.
• Update 0.11.1:
  • Engine acceleration value changed: Time to reach full speed forwards increased from 30 to 60 s.
  • Changed the altitude of jet attack aircraft when cruising, preparing for an attack, and aiming. Their angle of rolling during the attack preparation phase was also adjusted. These changes are intended to improve the interaction of these aircraft with islands and make aiming with them more comfortable.
  • Detectability range by Air decreased from 22.54 to 15.53 km.
  • Available for testing by all players in all game modes during Update 0.11.1.
