{{Review|[[User:Pepe|Pepe]]|This gunboat is a flying fortress. This gunboat is a sitting duck, too. It depends on you. Move through a battle, provide anti-fighter cover for your comrades and evade heavy fire from capitals. But, doing it is just for people with good nerves. It is so heavy, that pirate transport can outmaneuver it. It strafes 15m/s. Forward gun is very powerful (good damage and refire rate), but very hard to use as it rotates slow and covers small front angle.

But, if you step on a pack of smaller opponents, you can leave that place alive if you dodge well. Small ships will attack you from all directions, so you should Turett Steering like hell. Five cannons (of six in total) will fire in almost any direction. When you start shooting back with Rheinland Secondary Guns, fighters will be surprised. Strong Rheinland missiles will give them more surprises, as it insta-drops shields at all VHF and most bombers and SHF. When you take down bombers from pack, others will go home. This GB is thin, so changing speed rapidly and TS-ing will make their snac miss a lot. Ah, yes... Capital Armor Upgrade Mk VIII will help you with pro bombers, giving you 540.000 hull points total... More CAU - more fun for both sides.}}
