Any enemy attempting to close with such a fleet in order to negate damage done by the strike craft and Nova Cannons must first get past the gauntlet of ], ] and ] to attack the carriers, a feat that is difficult to achieve as the Imperial Navy excels at close quarter engagements. In these fleets the Imperial Navy tends to stand off rather than try and close with the enemy, crippling key targets, vaporizing groups of enemy escorts and taking out larger enemy vessels at a distance. The Imperial Navy also makes use of fleets revolving around the long ranged ] and ]. On the defense, ships with weaker armour are moved to the rear of the fleet and the strong prow armour is used as a shield, their broadside batteries ready to repulse any attempt to break their formation.
They use this to their advantage when on the offense, utilizing the frontal durability of the ships to weather incoming fire allowing their ships to close with the enemy and break up enemy formations. The ships of the Imperial Navy have strong prow armour and prow weaponry. This means that ramming your prow into the hull of an enemy ship can be a surprisingly effective tactic, especially if your target is of a smaller class. If your targets are not shredded by your barrages of torpedo strikes – or, if your ships are equipped, devastating Nova cannon blasts – your powerful broadside Macro-cannons and Lance batteries will make short work of what's left of the enemy.Īs a last-resort, remember the ships are well-armoured and can take quite a beating. Any that do survive are quickly dispatched by the powerful broadside armaments, while the Imperium ships’ armour and shields ensure they survive the encounter. Their torpedo strikes and devastating Nova Cannon blasts are enough to cripple most opponents. Imperial warships are not the fastest nor the most powerful in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, but multiple millennia of war has made them tough nuts to crack.ĭefined by dense void shields and metres-thick armour, these ships can adapt to any kind of battle situation.
