Dredicon

The Dreadnought is a capital warship used by the Soviet navy for long-range naval bombardment with its ballistic missiles.

Russia uses Akula Missile Subs instead, which has the advantage of being submerged while not firing at the cost of being slower.

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

Assessment

Pros

  • Strong siege weapon with incredibly long attack range.
  • Quite durable.
  • Decent rate of fire.
  • Can detect cloaked and submerged units.
  • Longer range and more powerful rockets than those of Scud Launchers.
  • Can self-repair.

Cons

  • Slow, 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.

Quotes

The Dreadnought uses the voiceset of the same unit in Red Alert 2.
