Dauntless Heavy Cruiser II

Description
Designed to be a multi-role weapons platform, modeled after the AXIOM from the movie WALL-E. This cruiser can go toe to toe with large dreadnoughts and can overwhelm larger fleets when used in pairs.

The Dauntless II has an uncanny ability to defend itself against ramming, boarding, small attack ships, and anti-air buildings. Tested to defend/withstand attacks from higher ceiling heights, engage multiple larger vessels in it's 180 degree forward firing arch, attack any heavily fortified buildings, and easily engage destroyers from the aft-firing arch; all of which has been designed and tested to do simultaneously.

The design of this vessel is to be operated at a medium-low ceiling height of 30-60m in order to take advantage of the 200+ degree bombardment of it's armament. It utilizes heavy steel armor which has been balanced with various lift structures scattered throughout the ship; as well as three large keels, making ship incredibly durable against when engaging massive enemy fleets.

Coal, ammo, supply, medical, and water control has been strategically placed in order to maximize efficiency while minimize casualties and damages sustained.

Over 30 small, medium, and heavy guns cover a 180 degree forward firing arch and a 90 degree aft firing arch.

Forward armament consist of:
3x Heavy cannons
4x Ariel Torpedo Tubes
3x Light Sponson
4x Gatling guns
1x Grapeshot cannon
1x Turret

Secondary gun decks consist of:
2x Turrets
1x Ventral Gun
5x Flak Cannon

Aft armament consist of:
3x Light Sponson
1x Ariel torpedo bay
1x turret


Cost: $14640
Maintenance: $171
Service ceiling: 60m
Speed: 65kph
Recommended Crew: 142
Actual working Crew: 189

Can withstand over 5 full minutes of battle at full capacity with coal, ammo, water, and repair to spare.

wait aren't the heavy cannons the largest non-modded cannons apart from the 'bronze beast'

@bigman jone Twice the size of this, way less maneuverable, and MUCH larger guns. The key of this being a cruiser is speed and maneuverability, but with a heavier armament than a destroyer.

if this is a cruiser then how big would the battleship be
