Battlecruisers

A ship that combines the size and firepower of a battleship with the speed and maneuverability of a cruiser. Battlecruisers are undoubtedly superior compared to smaller cruisers and are ideal for distant commerce escort or raid operations, as they can hit hard and escape using their high speed. However, Battlecruisers are not suitable to fight versus heavily armored Battleships, unless they can fire effectively with safety from very long distances.

Battlecruisers are first available in 1908 in custom battles (depending on the nations).
