From the Depths Showcase: Centurion Airship
1I really apologize for the audio on this, my mic needed to be turned down and I have done that and so future videos hopefully won't have that problem.
Sometimes you need a finessed solution for a tough problem. Strong enemies need tailored solutions. For the Lightning Hoods, my answer is and likely will continue to be submarines.
Sometimes though you just need to blow your futile weak enemies right to hell in the most expeditious manner possible. You need to get there fast, and you need to send them to Valhalla fast. Drop a whole barrel of whupass on them from the sky. Take over all their shit at 130 m/s. For this, there is the Centurion.
The Centurion is a broadsider airship: in other words all the guns are pointed in one direction permanently and not the other direction. It has 3 348mm main guns, 1 rapid fire 236mm cannon that shoots at 0.16 seconds a shot, 5 large missiles and 8 medium torpedoes. It also has a number of missile countermeasures, smoke defenses, and a couple simple anti-air guns.
Against the Hoods, it will beat an Angstrom or at least it was winning at the point where I got bored with their long slow battle with each other. Anything lesser than that would likely meet its end sooner. But I probably won't deploy it against the Hoods in the campaign but more likely the Flayers and everyone else.
