Chief among vessels in the Chancellor's fleet, this class of ship is the tactical "checkmate move" in the operations of the Rheinland Military.

Notes

It is rumoured that the most financially capable cells of the Unioners have the wherewithal and supplies to service and operate, if not completely manufacture, the older "Bayern" model of the Rheinland Battleship, left over from ample and ill-secured military stockpiles from the first GMG and Nomad wars. The GMG are also rumoured to possess a handful of the warships, salvaged from the wreckage of the Sigmas. Whilst these retrofits are significantly inferior compared to the modern Bismark, they are, from the perspective of a fighter's sensor suite, externally indistinguishable.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Outdated Review (4.85)

Review (4.85) This infamous ship was first seen in the Vanilla campaign as a massive deadly ship... that could be defeated by a few fighters. Well not anymore, obviously. This is probably the 'heaviest' of the Heavy Battleship class. Its large, to put it modestly. It sports a standard 9 million power generator. Its highly recommended you load this ship out for anti capital duties as it excels at that. It can simply overpower/outlast Liberty Carriers, while the Liberty Dreadnaught poses more of a problem as it is very maneuverable, but in the hands of a skilled Captain the Rheinland Battleship will defeat any capital foe with ease. Bombers are a trouble as they can easily hammer the ship from maximum range without much danger as the ship is literally a flying target. However, My Rheinland Battleship has a mixed loadout of Cerbs, Mortars, Solaris and Razors. The ship can fire 16 turrets forward, while 2 of its very backward turrets near the engine can fire something like 300 degrees arc.
