Battleship

The battleship (BB) the second to last unlockable ship in the game, followed by the carrier. The battleship is designed to fill only one role, the long range bombardment vessel. It can have a maximum of four heavy cannons, two medium cannons, and four light cannons. It also receives the Mk IV radar, the best in the game, to support its heavy weapons. The battleship is massive, and very slow making it a huge target and near impossible to miss. It is extremely effective against carriers, battleships, and cruisers. Its effectiveness is limited against destroyers and surfaced subs, and it is next to useless against frigates and PTs. It can however take out PTs by getting extremely close, and unloading when the PT is very close. This is sometimes called "Shotgunning" or "Derping". This can lead to some very humorous kills and some rage from newer players, who don't know that hugging enemy BBs is a bad idea. The BB is vulnerable to long range bombardment, and is also a huge target for carriers, and the fleets of aircraft and drones can be very annoying to the BB. The BB is also very vulnerable to railgun frigates, very accurate and annoying for the BB, as it cant usually spot them. The BB is vulnerable to any ship with jammers, including other BBs. The BB is actually very dangerous when combined with jammers, making it a extremely good counter to other BBs, carrier, and cruisers. This keeps it from getting spotted and attacked by stealthy ships. The BB is also very vulnerable to subs and is usually prioritized due to their high threat and XP potential.
