battleships actually put on a good show in gw1. i think theyll make a comeback, because you either go heavily armored to soak up the inevitable hits that leak through or you stop playing. replace the guns, which dont matter anymore, with box launchers of cruise missiles. add hangars for drones. its big enough to carry loads of anti-air and missile defense. the drones provide long range strike capability as well as long range threat detection. fighters/fighter-bombers are done, just like tanks. theyre trivially easy to kill with modern missiles. and missiles are a hell of a lot cheaper. its more survivable and can provide the same kind of capabilities.
