Overview

The Missile Boat is a small hull carrying long-range anti-ship missiles. It cannot hit anything on land or in the air, but against surface ships it punches far above its price.

How to use

A pack of missile boats behind a gunboat screen is the cheapest way to sink a frigate or destroyer early. Fire from maximum range and back off while reloading. They are helpless against submarines and aircraft, so pair them with a Destroyer or Frigate once the enemy fields either.

Counters

Submarines (which it cannot see or shoot), aircraft, and gunboats that close the distance. It counters Frigates, Destroyers, Landing Craft and even Battleships in numbers.
