The Torpedo Boats combine small size, low freeboard and high speed, which help them approach dangerously close to battleships and unleash a powerful load of torpedoes. Torpedo Boat: Designed solely to deliver the deadly new torpedo against capital ships, the Torpedo Boat is the smallest war vessel you may build. Destroyers are particularly effective versus battleships, because their small size, speed and maneuverability allow them to approach and launch devastating torpedoes against them. They may stand in the line of battle in the absence of Battleships or Battlecruisers, or serve as flagships on distant colonial stations.ĭestroyer: The “Destroyer” category of warship is specifically designed to carry strong torpedo armament to threaten capital ships and sufficient firepower to defend the fleet against smaller craft, such as Torpedo Boats. The “Heavy Cruisers” have stronger armour and heavier guns, so they are potentially more powerful at the cost of being more expensive, less maneuverable and more detectable. The “Light Cruisers” are suitable for distant commerce raiding or defense against enemy torpedo craft, or can threaten even battleships if they carry torpedo armament. Heavy/Light Cruiser: Cruisers are ships that fulfill various naval roles depending on their armour and weaponry. However, Battlecruisers are not suitable to fight versus heavily armoured Battleships, unless they can fire effectively with safety from very long distances. Battlecruisers are undoubtedly superior compared to smaller cruisers and are ideal for distant commerce escort or raid operations, as they can hit hard and escape using their high speed. Battleships can execute any operational role but due to being so valuable, it is risky to send them into combat without sufficient escort.īattlecruiser: A ship that combines the size and firepower of a battleship with the speed and maneuverability of a cruiser. They are large targets and need heavy armour to be sufficiently protected from incoming fire.

Battleships have immense firepower embodied in their large guns capable of destroying smaller ships with even a single shot.

Battleship: The biggest and most expensive type of warship you can built.
