Jupiter class Dreadnought

Eagle Industries
Welcome to Eagle Industries, a startup company that brings you the best brand spanking new military hardware out there. If you're looking for an honest, environmentally responsible product; you've come to the right place!

Class description
Dreadnoughts / Battleships (BB) are heavy surface vessels, designed around heavy APS gun platforms, firing rail assisted shells at enemies, while packing a decently heavy armour to soak up all but the heaviest rounds. These vessels focus on engaging large surface ships and airships, having only a comparably light secondary armament and little to no missiles. A relatively light torpedo armament is usually present, however, to give these vessels some means of engaging submarines. These vessels are best to be escorted by dedicated AA ships.

The ship
The Jupiter class Dreadnought is a through development of the gunfocussed frigates and Vanguard class light cruiser. Using modified guns from the Annihilator class aerial cruiser, it's designed to counter heavily armoured ships and airships. Carrying four turrets with quad 480mm cannons, it's almost the heaviest gun platform Eagle Industries provides, second only to the Orion (which also has a 16 barrel setup with 480mm rounds, but at a higher RPM).

Jupiter excels at taking down other ships with medium to thick armour (up to 4m metal, depending on the angle) but will struggle penetrating heavier armour. Light warships may find themselves to be "lucky", as the AP rounds of Jupiter tend to overpenetrate light warships.
Aircraft are dealt with by a single 6 barreled 80mm gun, supported by four missile turrets each carrying 16S missiles.
Lastly, a comparably small defensive suite comprised of missile interceptors and LAMS is present, providing some means of protection against enemy shells and missiles alike.
