Gustav den Store — Europe Tech Tree Tier IX Battleship.

A fast battleship capable of confronting capital ships of Sweden's potential adversaries. She could have been ordered under emergency shipbuilding measures at the height of World War II, and her main armament of nine 381 mm guns would have been supplemented by dual-purpose and anti-aircraft artillery systems used by the Swedish Navy in the early 1940s.

Pros

• Access to the Surveillance Radar consumable
• Access to the Emergency Engine Power consumable
• High torpedo range and damage
• Low detectability

Cons

• Low survivability
