World Of Warships Ship
Ships fielded by the United States Navy (USN) sport great armor (albeit in an all-or-nothing design), main battery guns, and anti-aircraft (AA) capabilities, and are less hindered by stock configurations — many were built later and subsequently underwent fewer, less drastic upgrades (unlike (IJN) vessels such as ). Most stock American ships are adequate for their roles, and while fully-upgraded ships perform better, they require little to no change in play style. American ship-launched torpedoes are often comically bad, but the real strength of USN ships lies in their ability to get into firefights and slug it out, relying on their superior guns and survivability to see them through. The United States inherited many of its nascent naval traditions from the, from whom they won their independence in 1776.

Over the years, the fledgling American navy encountered various hurdles and successes in its conflicts with the British, and Spanish navies. However, a mix of poor economic outlook, isolationist sentiments and post-World War I naval disarmament treaties reduced the effectiveness and preparedness of the USN for the Second World War. All of that changed after Japan's 7 December 1941 surprise attack on Pacific Fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Regarded as an underhanded sneak attack outside the rules of civilized warfare, Pearl Harbor evaporated any reluctance of the American public to go to war. With its battleship fleet crippled by the Pearl Harbor attack, the USN turned to submarines and its fledgling aircraft carrier fleet — the very weapons that the IJN had used in their attempt to neutralize the USN Pacific Fleet — and ironically put them to greater effect than the Japanese (who stuck to battleships and the 'decisive battle' doctrines), achieving successes in the battles of the Coral Sea, Midway, the Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. While slightly behind their IJN counterparts at the onset of the war, the USN gradually caught up both qualitatively and quantitatively; virtually every class of vessel was outfitted with superior fire control equipment such as radar and ballistics computers. The industrial might of the United States produced large numbers of proven designs (the 175 ships of the class built within the space of less than four years being a prime example) with little unnecessary variation in equipment, so that crew transferred between ships could quickly fill their roles without specialized retraining.
The US Navy emerged from World War II as the most powerful navy in the world, a title it still holds to this day. USS Fletcher, Tier IX destroyer Gameplay The play style of American is best summarized as 'annoy and harrass'; their fast-firing guns in quick-turning turrets can continuously rain fire on opponents with impunity while under cover of smoke or vision blockers such as islands (or simply out of vision range).
Tier X, the crown jewel of USN destroyers, can blanket her targets with more than 120 rounds per minute. Unfortunately, slow shell velocities and incredulously high shell arcs, while allowing captains to fire over islands, make it near-impossible to hit anything but the largest of targets beyond medium ranges. They also have reasonable anti-aircraft firepower, allowing them to play the role of escort ship when the need arises; fire discipline and astute usage are required, since gun and anti-aircraft battery fire can broadcast a ship's position. American torpedoes had variable speed settings; in World of Warships, only the high-speed setting is available (with the exception of Tier VII premium ).
In-game, this means that lower tier American destroyers, instead of stealthily launching a spread out of visual range, are forced to weather fire from their targets' primary and secondary batteries well before they come within torpedo range. However, starting with at Tier VII, it is possible to launch a torpedo salvo from beyond detection range, albeit still at shorter ranges than their Japanese counterparts. To put things in perspective, Americans have to wait until their Tier IX's before they get torpedoes with 10km range; the Japanese achieve this range with Tier VI destroyers and. And both of them reload faster. USS Cleveland, Tier VI cruiser Gameplay American are all about the guns; their primary battery, secondary battery, and anti-aircraft armament are superlative. Forgoing torpedoes after at Tier V, they are instead able to lay down an incredible hail of gunfire in almost any direction, due to the fast-firing guns located along the sides of their lower-tier ships, or in their fast-turning turrets at higher tiers. Any enemies — especially destroyers — that come within firing range and do not take evasive action are quickly sent to the bottom of the ocean, particularly after the line gains access to the consumable at Tier VIII.
Although the Japanese often have better range and firepower, the Americans have faster turret traverse, conventional layouts, and higher rates of fire; the high shell arc of some of their cruiser rifles — like their destroyer counterparts — is a double-edged sword, with a plunging trajectory hampered by their unimpressive shell velocities. Their anti-aircraft batteries easily dissuade aircraft from venturing too close or even approaching if they're not massed together for protection; yet even then, a well-timed will quickly deplete the assets of enemy aircraft carriers. Is the very pinnacle of the all-gun cruiser, as she has a very powerful anti-aircraft suite and main batteries that have unrivaled rate of fire. USS Iowa, Tier IX battleship Gameplay American follow more orthodox and consistent designs: while their guns may not be as large and powerful as those of the IJN, the USN ships make up for it by having more guns that fire more often, giving them unmatched broadside firepower. Their anti-air suites are also fairly decent at staving off aerial assaults, although it's still recommended to have cruiser escort. In spite of inferior firing ranges and poor mobility, American battleships are capable of absorbing major damage in order to bring their guns to bear—their citadel armor is impenetrable to all but the largest caliber shells (at the cost of having a more lightly-armored bow and stern).
Moving up the tech tree, their mobility progressively improves and catches up with the Japanese with the at Tier VIII, and their AA firepower grows to the point that they either become practically immune to all but the most concentrated of air attacks, or the aircraft will not survive the return trip. The Tier X is the pinnacle of the American battleship line: the evolution of the -class battleship design whose construction was cancelled some time after receiving congressional approval for construction in order to focus more on aircraft carrier production. Aircraft Carriers. USS Essex, Tier IX aircraft carrier Gameplay Early in the war, the overall state and quantity of USN naval aviation lagged behind their Japanese rivals.
Thus, their early can be painful to use. Their large sizes up-and-down the line mean that they can be seen from miles away (Tier X carrier has one of the worst concealment values in the game, even worse than ), and even though they are quite durable with surprisingly strong anti-aircraft defenses, remaining un-spotted or sticking with teammates for protection is still recommended. USN fighters dominate the skies in straight-up dogfights at almost every tier, and their strike aircraft carry heavier, more powerful payloads. Tier VIII onwards is when their dive bombers become truly fearsome; not only do they get access to 1,000-pound bombs — bumping their potential damage to more than double that of their Japanese counterparts — they are also able to choose between high explosive bombs, which are good against lightly armoured targets and for setting fires, and armor-piercing bombs, which do devastating damage to armored targets such as battleships and heavy cruisers. With larger, six-plane squadrons, each strike that connects has a greater impact, and with a generous store of spare aircraft (with the exceptions of at Tier V and at Tier VI), losing planes is more affordable. Unfortunately, all American carriers are restricted to a single aircraft loadout — with the exception of the Tier VIII premium — and their torpedo bombers are limited to Tier VIII aircraft, greatly diminishing their usefulness at the higher tiers.
Long servicing times for USN aircraft hinder the ability of American carriers to maintain constant presence on the battlefield, though their fewer number of squadrons tends to make juggling aircraft traffic on and off the flight deck easier for their captain.
