Each M56A1 bomb deals 16,000 damage, has 85mm of penetration, and a 91% chance of causing a fire. Each strike consists of 2 A-2 Savage dive bombers dropping 3 bombs each, for 6 bombs total. United States’ tactical dive bombers are also a strong squadron available in her arsenal. Because United States’ armaments are focused around high explosive and fire damage, the torpedoes are a vital addition to deal more permanent, unhealable damage and provide additional damage over time stacking. However, the preparation time is faster compared to the A-2 Dive Bombers, increasing their effectiveness.

The strength of high speed is offset by the poor turning radius, meaning players have to choose targets carefully before committing strikes.Īs a tactical squadron, these torpedo bombers have unlimited reserves at the cost of a three minute fifteen-second preparation period and a non-rechargeable engine boost.

The torpedo bombers have the highest total hp pool of the squadrons and have a top speed of 264 kts, allowing the planes to close the distance between targets and spend minimal time in continuous anti-aircraft aura. With the damage potential of 45,600 well-aimed strikes will cripple capital ships and cruisers while also inflicting instances of flooding. Each Mk.25 torpedo travels at 35 kts, deals 7,600 damage, and has a 63% chance of flooding. Each strike consists of 3 A-2 Savage torpedo bombers that drop 2 torps each, 6 torps total. United States’ torpedo bombers are the strongest squadron in her arsenal. Like Midway, United States’ squadrons are effective against most ship types. The jet boosters on the standard squadrons help with rapid rotation and usage of her standard attack aircraft and dive bombers, encouraging midrange positioning for maximum squadron usage and effectiveness. Her primary strike force mainly utilizes the tactical squadrons after the preparation time (which is filled in with the usage of her standard squadrons). She also features tactical jet squadrons, which include tactical attack aircraft, divebombers, and torpedo bombers. USS United States is a supercarrier that carries attack aircraft and dive bombers found on Midway equipped with jet boosters.
