USS Wasp

USS Wasp is a Tier VII US carrier.

Stats
USS Wasp is essentially a smaller Lexington. While this does reduce her hp and squadrons, enemy warships will most likely direct their fire to larger carriers (if there are any on your team), such as Lexington or Akagi. Like all carriers, Wasp's main weakness is fire. They will suspend your aircraft operations, and with a weak main/secondary armament, Wasp will be vulnerable. Wasp has 2 dive bomber squadrons and 2 torpedo bomber squadrons, as well as 2 fighter squadrons.

Tips
General Tips:

The USS Wasp is very similar to USS Lexington, she has less guns and AA compared to her. She should be used like USS Lexington by using your aircraft in a support role. Carriers over all are support ships, not front line ships.

Advance Tips:

The USS Wasp is a average CV, but with her 2 squadrons of Torpedo bombers you can do hammer and anvil tactics. To do Hammer and Anvil tactic you have have the two torpedo squadrons to attack a single with from both sides.

Other tactics for USS Wasp is to use your fighters to escort aircraft, to do escorts with fighters you must: 1st move the fighter along with the bombers and then 2nd you must activate their defense action. They will maintain their movement and will intercept enemy aircraft. But as a warning they will also target enemy bombers and not their fighters so watch them closely.
