Battleship

Overview
A Battleship, also known as a BB or BS, is a naval unit that was added in the Naval Update. In terms of raw damage, it's the second most powerful unit from all naval units in-game, with the Aircraft Carrier being the first and with the Destroyer or the Submarine being third. It is the general use naval unit, able to attack and defend against enemies using its high damage and range.

Usage
Battleships are commonly used as the primary naval unit of many fleets, as they are helpful units in most battle scenarios, from escorting an Aircraft Carrier, to attacking enemies in-land. Battleships also have a very large attack range, which is useful for many things, such as outranging other naval units, or some buildings to killing some in-land units.

But it is very slow, making it easy prey for planes and submarines.

Strategies

 * You can use the battleship to protect oil rigs and your docks; it's also good for escorting transport ships and aircraft carriers.
 * Battleships are probably the most preferred unit when making a big navy because of their Health and Range.
 * Battleships are good to use in a big group as that will look more intimidating to the enemy.
 * It can be used as "offshore artillery" due to it's large range. This way, one can take down plants offshore early-game without having to push with an army towards that crystal. This is helpful if the plant is deep in enemy territory.
 * Always be careful about submarines when using battleships, as submarines can fire upon battleships with impunity.

Trivia

 * The Battleship was in The Conquerors 2 and The Conquerors Mark 2.


 * The British Battleship skin closely resembles the HMS Hood, a battlecruiser, not a battleship.
 * As part of the Naval Balance update, the Battleship's price was reduced, it's stats were changed, and it's range got a major buff
 * The Russian Battleship skin, which is based on the Kronshtadt Class, was never completed.
