Destroyer Doctrines: The Vanguard
Destroyers are the scouts and assassins of the fleet. Their effectiveness is a delicate balance of gunnery, torpedo threat, and concealment. This chart compares the core philosophies of four distinct national lines, revealing their specialized roles on the battlefield.
Cruiser Versatility: The Lynchpin
Cruisers are the most varied class, acting as the fleet's flexible backbone. Their roles range from fragile, long-range support to durable, close-range brawlers. This chart maps their survivability against their primary engagement style, with bubble size representing their raw damage potential.
Battleship Philosophies: The Heavy Hitters
Battleships are defined by their armor and massive guns, but their approach to combat varies wildly. Some are designed for aggressive, close-range brawls, while others excel at long-range sniping. This chart compares their main battery accuracy against their secondary battery effectiveness, highlighting their optimal engagement range.
Aircraft Carrier Air Power: The Eye in the Sky
Aircraft carriers project power across the entire map, but their effectiveness depends on their specialized aircraft ordnance. Each nation's carrier wing is optimized to hunt specific targets, from agile destroyers to heavily armored battleships.
