Built by the Bretonia Armed Forces to serve as both a symbolic and real display of their military might, this class is the cornerstone of their defenses. The Dunkirk class Battleship has served as the Armed Forces only battleship type vessel for several decades, and remains a true sign of power both within and without Bretonia.

Handling

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

Review without version number

Review This ship is also somewhat of a c-c-combo breaker. While the rest of the Bretonia Capital ships fall into the 'heavy' subclass of each of their respective major ship class, this ship falls into the Medium Battleship category, taking qualities and deficiencies from both the Heavy and Light battleship subclasses. The Bretonia Battleship has odd turret hardpoints, with 4 clustered closely in the back. Despite suggestions against, It in fact CAN be used in an anti-fighter/bomber role as the Solaris turrets reach acceptable range to attack bombers while its maneuverability force bomber pilots to get closer to land hits accurately. One of its major downsides is its lower armor rating. It can also be used in an Anti-Cap role with the same strafing technique as used in the Liberty Dreadnaught, it can defeat battleships of the Heavy class also with a bit of luck and appropriate skill. As for defeating Light Battleships, Larger Output/Input enables you to charge them, absorbing at least -some- damage while using your superior output to whittle down the opponent into nothing.
