Review without version number

Review This infamous ship was first seen in the Vanilla campaign as a massive deadly ship... that could be defeated by a few fighters. Well not anymore, obviously. This is probably the 'heaviest' of the Heavy Battleship class. Its large, to put it modestly. It sports a standard 9 million power generator. Its highly recommended you load this ship out for anti capital duties as it excels at that. It can simply overpower/outlast Liberty Carriers, while the Liberty Dreadnaught poses more of a problem as it is very maneuverable, but in the hands of a skilled Captain the Rheinland Battleship will defeat any capital foe with ease. Bombers are a trouble as they can easily hammer the ship from maximum range without much danger as the ship is literally a flying target. However, My Rheinland Battleship has a mixed loadout of Cerbs, Mortars, Solaris and Razors. The ship can fire 16 turrets forward, while 2 of its very backward turrets near the engine can fire something like 300 degrees arc.
