Battleship Class Airship

Battleship class airships are incredibly powerful airships capable of destroying fleets of ships with ease. As all vehicles capable of fighting in the game, this ship has an area somewhere in it which explodes and does tremendous damage when hit with an explosive. Though this may seem like an over powered unit, it is not the most powerful flying vehicle in the game. This ship requires an Admiral to pilot due to it being an important unit in the faction's air force. Smaller factions have about 5 of these while empires have 7. The back (or middle depending on which one you're in) has a hanger bay for scouting craft usually with 4 or 5 planes. Hopefully you'll be smart and have more than 10 crewmen aboard due to the fact there are much more than 10 rocket launchers.

 Best way to take it down 

Best thing to use is either another battleship or bomber planes. Airbases are not anchored and can be completely obliterated by battleships so it is also a good idea to have soldiers with rocket launchers to defend the base even though they may pose no threat to the ship itself. If you plan to use bombers to take it down, make sure your crew is up to the task and ready for anything. Another good plane to use is a "Battle plane" which has a crew capacity of 2 fighters and 1 pilot and it takes advantage of quick moving planes with small rocket launchers on the sides which can be used to take down enemy bombers.
