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 (Battalion Wars)|Artillery]]. However, the ship is vulnerable to [[Submarine (Battalion Wars)|Submarines]], [[Dreadnought]]s, [[Bomber (Battalion Wars)|Bombers]], and [[Gunship]]s. With almost no anti-air defences, it is typically deployed with an escort of [[Frigate]]s to deter enemy air attack. | The '''Battleship''' is best used to attack ground units, or even other naval units.

"As staple diet of the [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] people, the turnip permeates every sphere of the country's society.

"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." | "Despite the sophisticated technology it employs, the Type-10 Qai-Ryu "Sea Dragon" Battleship is equally matched by similar vessels of other nations.
