Player Opinion

Battleship - Constellation W

Pros:

• Eight 16-inc (406mm) rifles with excellent accuracy.
• Armed with torpedoes with decent range and good aiming angles.
• Access to the Surveillance Radarconsumable.
• Very fast, with a base top speed 33.3kts

Cons:

• Much more lightly armored than comparable battleships.

• Aft turret angles are poor at close range (inside ~10km).
• Large profile and height out of the water make her a better target for enemy gunfire.
• Citadel is fairly easy to hit.
