Overview
Heavy Demolition Ship: Heavy Demolition Ships deliver a large blast against ships and loaded transports, making them a powerful way to punish a fleet that has gathered around one route. Their explosion turns the final approach into the key decision.
Plan and execution
Hide the ship behind friendly warships or approach from a side where the enemy has committed to a target. Aim for the densest cluster of ships or a loaded transport, and use the rest of the fleet to prevent the opponent from scattering before impact.
Risks and adaptation
The attack is spent when the ship detonates, and a visible approach gives the enemy time to split up. Avoid launching it at a dispersed fleet or near valuable friendly ships.
