After pounding your opponent with your FG and your Cerbs, you can use reverse and EK to prevent him from reaching your blind spots. Before that happens, you can strafe up-down quite well. Because of a similar quality, the Kusari BS shouldn't be disregarded.
In engagements against more enemy battleships (except if those are Valors), while you're alone, I think the Liberty dreadnought would be the best. Two dreads can tank a turtle, but two turtles can lose against a dread.
The Elbe, with all those secondaries, and a small size, should stand quite well against bombers.
By my opinion, the Kronos, or the Sarissa, should be the worst. They're too big to fight on high range, while being too weak to tank. They're also easy targets for bombers, having a relatively big size and medium amount of secondaries. The Sarissa could, however, actually have an advantage, being a bit more agile, what helps her TS.
PS: The Ossie doesn't suck. Just look at that back/forward profile. Well, if you don't need a microscope.
I agree, but ossie can be closer and closer because he TS, and you can to not, so if he wont kill you you will easily annihilate it. Why turtle will lose aganist dread? I saw one which easily kills dread 1vs1
