Possessing heavy armor to shrug off hits, they can come in close to deal heavy damage to enemy warships. The mid-close range department of naval warfare is where the battleship excels. Because of the rather predictable AI and the focus on frontal firepower, they are more potent than standard battleships in single-player. Thus, they require a greater level of maneuverability to be effective. Because of the focused firepower, they are easier to flank and destroy. These ships are designed to destroy proper battleships of equivalent or superior firepower, since it does not need to turn broadside to focus the majority of its firepower. One common variant is the so called ' Battleship-Killer ' with an all forward armament. These ships are more specialized than the standard battleship, and sacrifice some aspects to focus on others. While the classic battleship is the most versatile, there are some variants to the basic design. Carrier warplanes can also be retrofitted onto the deck akin to the IJN Ise. Due to their durability and size, they are decent antisubmarine warships. They are most cost-effective and time-effective warship in the fleet- submarines, while assuring victory, are relatively slow boats that have a narrow attack area, while carrier warplanes are expensive, easily lost and inaccurate. As the first warships any player receives, they are the breadwinners of any fleet. These vessels are the big guns of the fleet, designed to get close to the enemy ship to deliver paralyzing broadsides.

While torpedoes and mines may be carried, their size and lack of maneuverability makes them less useful on these ships and are considered targets for these weapons than delivery platforms.Дue to their versatility and size, they can be configured easily for any role necessary. Other rare-metal weapons such as Vulcan cannons and Rocket Launchers may be carried in small numbers. Small numbers of Mk 45 5 inch Guns are carried in a dual AAA/Anti-ship configuration. These weapons are smaller, lighter and weaker than the main batteries, added to create a mass of firepower essential to hit anything at a distance.ДЄnti-aircraft weapons and anti-submarine weapons are often fitted to defend against aircraft and submarines, respectively. Miscellaneous smaller guns may be fitted as secondaries in any case. Medium battleships may employ 4x5/6x2 size guns as main batteries, while larger ones will employ the large 46cm Gun. Small battleships usually fit as main cannons the 20cm Gun or members of the 30.5cm Gun family (ie. These ships, given their broad definition, can be armed with anything in the game. She has 18 46cm guns with a secondary battery of new 30.5s and 20cm guns.ДЄegis Battleship BB-101, a battleship built by ShinWei Chiou. The battleship BB-15 Fearless during an early morning battle. They are also noted for their resilience- many designs featured could take multiple 46cm Gun strikes and still function as a combat vessel. Excellent designs can tank multiple hits from equivalent or heavier batteries. Because of their versatility, battleships can deal with any enemy that crosses their sights, given a chance to shoot. In short, battleships trade speed for armor and battlecruisers trade armor for speed. A key to distinguishing a battleship from a battlecruiser is that a battleship can deliver as much firepower as it can receive, while battlecruisers cannot do so. Well-armed, heavily armored and protected on all sides, they can take as much punishment as they could deliver.
