Description

The Battleship is best used to attack ground units, or even other naval units. Battleships can attack land-based units with ease while safely out of range, beyond even that of an Artillery. However, the ship is vulnerable to Submarines, Dreadnoughts, Bombers, and Gunships. With almost no anti-air defences, it is typically deployed with an escort of Frigates to deter enemy air attack.

Dossier Intel

Western Frontier

"The mainstay of Frontier defensive operations against the Tsarist navy, the Rubicon-class (or Big Roo) Battleship is the oldest serving class of Frontier naval unit still in active service."

Tundran Territories

"As staple diet of the Tundran people, the turnip permeates every sphere of the country's society. The displacement of the Gorgigrad-class Battleship is officially recorded as 30,000 turnips, the vegetable being a standard unit of nautical measurement."

Solar Empire

"Despite the sophisticated technology it employs, the Type-10 Qai-Ryu "Sea Dragon" Battleship is equally matched by similar vessels of other nations. In fact, the density of unshielded electronic equipment they carry allows easy tracking by pursuing enemy vehicles."

Anglo Isles

"As part of a fleet-wide refit of dated naval vessels, Supercilious-class Battleships also saw a redesignation to Windsor-class, a change considered apt in some quarters of the admiralty."

Xylvania

"The XNS Ferrok was the most famous and oldest Battleship in the Xylvanian fleet. Purportedly unsinkable, the Xylvanian flagship was mysteriously lost at sea during a live-fire fleet exercise led by Kommandant Ubel."
