Trebuchet

Performance
The Trebuchet is armed with ten superfiring maximum-gauge Advanced Cannons firing pure HE and HE/smoke, four 1483mm CRAM Cannons also firing HE rounds, and a rapid-fire 88mm cannon firing fragmentation rounds. She can make 6 metres per second speed and is designed to face towards her enemy; her entire battery is capable of firing straight forward and her main battery can also fire due left or right, with her crown turret able to even rotate 180 degrees and fire straight behind her. She has a powerful LAMS defence that covers all sides except behind her. She also has a respectable, if not so extensive, smoke defence system.

If fighting her, as her description indicates, she is well suited to destroying craft with LAMS defences, and she is a formidable opponent all around. However, she performs best against slower craft armed with projectile weapons. She has sturdy armour, especially on her front side, but her turrets have no ejectors and will pop if the clips are damaged. A plethora of air gaps reduce the effect of HEAT and HESH type weapons. She has a passive sonar, but as with many OW craft, she has no effective anti-submarine weapons, and while she is very dangerous to almost any surface ship, she is relatively vulnerable to attack from the air. Strategically, her slow movement speed allows her to be simply avoided by faster craft.
