Battleship

The Battleship is one of the upgrade choices from the Overseer and Twin Flank classes, and can be selected at level 45. The Battleship upgrades from the Overseer by getting four unique barrels which spawn Protectors instead of Drones.

Note that all your Overseer Drones will disappear upon upgrading to Battleship.

Design
The Battleship features a circular base with four trapezoid barrels attached to it, two on each horizontal side. It uses Protectors of its team's color.

Protectors
The Battleship's Protectors work very much like the Base Protectors, except for the fact that they also target polygons as well as tanks. The Protectors do far less damage than Base Protectors and other Overseer drones, but can clump together and send enemy tanks flying backwards if hit. They have an unknown amount of protectors.

Strategy

 * Strong against: Unsuspecting tanks with low penetration and/or firerate (e.g. Necromancer, Booster, low level tanks)
 * Weak against: Tanks with decent penetration and damage output (e.g. Overlord, Destroyer, Auto 5, Triplet)

As the Battleship
The Battleship behaves extremely similar to the non-playable Guardian, and as such shares similar weaknesses. However, since the drones spawn at such a quick rate and don't move in a straight line, very few tanks are able to take out the Battleship without taking hefty amounts of damage. In 1v1 situations especially it can overwhelm an unprepared weak tank and quickly destroy them without much time for the target to react. Try to max out movement speed, especially in FFA.

The Battleship is best used with other friendly tanks however as it is insanely good at providing support, much like the Trapper branch.

Against the Battleship
It is strongly recommended to stay far away from the Battleship and attack from a distance, since its drone spam can do a respectable amount of damage in a small time.

As such it's best to use the Sniper branch, the Destroyer/Hybrid tanks or the Streamliner, since they fire in a straight line and their fast/hard hitting bullets will penetrate through many of the weak drones. It isn't recommended to take it out using a Rammer build except if your choice of tank to ram with is a Tri-Angle or Booster, as they both work well at evading the Protectors.

Tanks in the Twin class (e.g. Triplet) and the Gunner sub-class may have a chance of fighting it, as their fire is slightly focused. However, tanks that saturate the battlefield like the Penta Shot or Spread Shot may be lucky to get a stray kill, but otherwise unlikely with exception if their bullet penetration is upgraded enough to take out multiple Protectors.
