The Dreadnought is a capital warship used by the Soviet navy except Russia, who uses the Akula Missile Sub instead (but not in the campaign), for long-range naval bombardment with its ballistic missiles.
Description
Dreadnoughts are the main command ships of the Soviet Navy. Easily able to lay waste to shore targets with their high-yield ballistic missiles, Dreadnoughts played an integral role in the initial assault on the United States. Outfitted with advanced sensors and communication arrays, the Dreadnought is capable of detecting stealthed or submerged enemies. Though its missiles are powerful, they can be shot down with sufficient anti-aircraft defenses. Dreadnoughts are durable, but are very sluggish due to their mass, making them vulnerable to other ships or enemy aircraft.
Overview
Appearances
- In Bleed Red, Dreadnoughts open the Russian invasion of the United States by destroying the Statue of Liberty.
- Throughout the Act One campaign, Dreadnoughts are used by Russia as well as the Latin Confederation and China, since the Akula Sub (which replaces them in skirmish for Russia) has yet to be created. The last mission in which Russian Dreadnoughts appear is Awake and Alive, after which they're replaced by Akula Subs.
Assessment
Pros
- Strong siege weapon with incredibly long attack range.
- Quite durable.
- Decent reloading rate.
- Can detect cloaked and submerged units.
- Longer range and more powerful rockets than those of Scud Launchers.
- Can self-repair.
Cons
- Very slow-moving.
- Expensive ($2200) unless an Industrial Plant is built ($1650).
- Defenseless at close range, due to its large minimum range.
- Rockets can be shot down by anti-aircraft fire.
- Rockets are ineffective against fast moving units.
- Vulnerable to aircraft and anti-ship units.
