Flagships

In Broken Alliance, naval warfare will be greatly expanded on. One such way is flagships.

A flagship is the symbol of a nations navy. Only one can be built, but they are immensely powerful ships. Here are some ideas:

British: HMS Ark Royal. A large aircraft carrier that spawns harriers to attack the enemy. It also boasts Goalkeeper guns to defend against aircraft and missiles. Helicopters can also land and be repaired at the carrier.

Germany: Unnamed. A large ship with two V4 rockets. V4 rockets are the Germans upgrade to a V3. More powerful, tougher, and faster, they are less likely to be shot down. They can bombarb coastal positions with these missiles, and are also armed with a small cannon, capable of dealing damage to other ships and helicopters.

Korea: Unnamed. An enormous submarine with a missile launcher capable of hitting all targets from beneath the water. They can also deploy, rise above the water, and become an aircraft carrier. However, in this position it is unable to move. The strongest of the flagships, it will cost vast amounts of money.

Any other ideas would be welcome.

P.S. The RLF do not have a flagship.

I just hope that n00bs doesnt only use these kind of ships to destroy an enemy... make sure they have a weak point which makes it require assistance of other ships Wink

All ships will have a weakness. For example, when deployed, the Korean craft loses its sensors, and is vulnerable to submarines.

the weakness for the germans is quite obvious, units which get close r able to destroy it, the british weakness if the harriers r destroyed it can be attacked by non air units

Right, Zdflamer. I was giving an example. The weaknesses won't be given to you, you'll have to spot them for yourselves.

By the way, if any modellers or good voxel artists are interested, I need someone to do these ships!

What about making the German ship the Rhineland? That was their equivalent to the Dreadnought class ship (which at the start of WW1 was the most powerful in the world). It depends on whose running them though, if they're run by an Emperor, it could be called the Kaiser. I'm just making this up as I go along here.

Not a bad idea, I'll investigate the real-life German navy a bit deeper. (Aha.)

The HMS Royal is almost complete.
