How to make United States work

I really enjoyed USS Midway and had more than decent games with it. I made enough credits I purchased USS United States. I played something like 30 games, and lost most of them. I always start with DD's and move to strategic targets and most times I manage to kill some of them right from the start (I did the same with Midway). However, with US I did 250k and still lost. I did 50k and lost. I killed 6 ships and lost (not stolen). I can't figure it out how can I win with this ship...

 

Any tips and tricks to win more?

 

Also, even with 6 kills,  and premium I barely got 40k credits. I really think this ship is really bad and you only loose time and credits with it...

 

EDIT: I'm a DD main, and frustrated by CV's. I play them just to understand how a CV works and a CV player might think.

@ProbablyChatBanned buddy. Super ships only exist to cost you money. There's no reason to play super ships other than expanding the phylosophical e-peen.  - You can have a new damage record and only make a net of maybe 100k. They're ment to drain your credits for playing super ships. Just keep playing midway. Or preferably for us anti cv hypocrites don't play either.

Setup a proper rotation of those jet planes and plan ahead to use them wisely to maximise their high speed and alpha damage against top priority targets was how I played her a while ago, sick of playing them now.

The game is to crush other players souls. And the best thing is, you can either play poorly or very good - it doesn't actually matter!

Demolish your enemies while your screeching laughs echo in their ears or idly sit by while the other supershit CV - the one you summoned from hell by playing one yourself - murders your teammates.

Both will give you esteem with the dark lord and once (note - not "if") you enter through the gates of hell yourself, there will be a place of honour reserved for you, you will probably be chief fire stroker or something.

 

Unfortunately WG wants it's share, so you might want to take up a loan and purchase some silver for real cash, there are some highly attractive offers on right now!

If you just wanna understand CVs and can't really play them well, I don't think playing a SUPER CV is the best way to go about it. Why not just play T10 CVs and maybe even make a buck?! Superships are designed to drain your credits and nothing else. Only reason I usually make a profit in my Annapolis is because I usually kill a couple of DDs each game in it AND do a lot of damage.

 

Also playing a Super CV when you not really that good in CVs is a HUGE disadvantage to all the teams you play with since the other team probably get a Super unicum in their Super CV

I have never said I was not good in CV. I play Midway decently and have carried a few games and turned more than profitable. I know my way around with Midway (haven't tried other CV's as I'm not interested in CV's in general). I was curios about super carriers and did not know they were credit drainers. I thought there was something about super carriers playstyle that I did not know.

 

Thank you for everyone's inputs!

Yes, GitGud. Seriously - in a CV the best CV-player outfarms the other one, so if you're not the better one, you will usually lose. 
So... the more powerful a CV gets,m the stronger this effect... so... when you play a Super-CV, this effect is SuperStrong as well.

WeeGee made all Superships to deliver bucketloads of XP but cost craploads of credits. 

The ship is absolutely not bad... you just get ZIP credits for damage done, and a LOT of 'service cost'.
I manage to break even but that is with a premium account.

Honestly you are not doing good at all in Midway. Take his advice please.

How to make the United States work

 

Some suggestions:

  • repeal Citizens United to limit the influence of big money in politics
  • allow the government to negotiate the price of prescription drugs
  • abolish the undemocratic Electoral College
  • introduce term limits to the Supr...

Hey, wait a minute! :Smile_facepalm:

 

Anyway, you've only played the US for 13 games and your damage, while low compared to what other people are scoring, has scaled up nicely from the Midway. Clearly you were never a big farmer in that one either, but it looks like you did a good enough job hunting DDs to be solidly above average, winrate-wise.

It might be that the super-CV crowd is made of better opponents than the Tier 10 CV crowd, or it might just be that it's too soon to say.

 

As for the credits, superships are meant to be drains, or everyone would play them all the time, further devaluing Tier 9 and 10.


TL; DR: You're probably doing fine (compared to your overall level), just give it more time.

I'm sorry to burst out your bubble, but instead of criticizing you could have provided some advice on how to get better...

 

Not all are unicums, and unlike you and most of the people on this planet, I was not born knowledgeable...

 

And because you seem to be clueless, when I play Midway I go out of my way to spot destroyers first, hence the low average dmg and low WR. Because I actually play for my team, not for my [edited]damage records

I can only suggest to play CV from different nations and experience how you can influence battles differently than just from single nation playstyle. It's the way I improved since my red potato Haku days. If you don't want to do that then I don't think you will get far. I think it's all about learning to read the map and battle flow, to know which flank and ship to attack that helps achieving high over 60% solo CV WR. 

 

Better CV players than me can give you specific tips. But that's the best I got.

Bad excuse. I do what you describe and somehow I'm doing much much better.

 

No I won't give advice because you asked for US advice not Midway.

 

Second of all advice is not effective if I don't know exactly what's holding you back. It would require your play analysis and since you sadly have the mindset of believing that you are doing good already I doubt anything I give out to you will stick hence I dont ask for your gameplay.

If you had said "I just started getting into it and struggle a little, my wr is only 53% for an OP class I need help"i while have helped you gladly.

You may be good at WoWs individually, but at reading and comprehension, you are bad...

 

And unlike you, I will explain: I asked for United States advice. You said I was better playing Midway. I said I consider myself decent in Midway. You got offended or your superiority complex got triggered and said I'm not that good in Midway. 

In none of your responses have I seen any kind of advice on how to play United Stated (because if you recall, that's what I asked). Next time answer the [edited]question, no one needs to hear your superiority...

 

If I come and say I need advice, then it is implied that I know I'm doing something wrong and I'm ready to accept that everything I know and do, might be wrong. The fact that I said I consider myself decent in Midway, does not automatically imply I no longer accept any feedback...

Slow down. I told you to take the advice of @OldschoolGaming_YouTube@OldschoolGaming_YouTube clearly implying that I agree with his advice. THEREFORE my individual input is not needed anymore and I told you that you are objectively not good / decent in Midway. If you excuse your performance by believing you are doing decent then chances are that you will not improve. Do you understand that?

Superships are credit sink. Nothing more than that. Even if perform extremely well - with grey credit bonus and premium account you can make some profit. Very little. 6 kills and 300k+ dmg got me 100k credits.
