Battleship

Battleship is a boss (and later encountered as either a mid-boss or a large enemy) in Gunship Battle. It is the third major boss encountered in the story mode of the game.

Characteristics
The first type of Battleship, shown on the right are equipped with lots of anti-air turrets, akin to an actual battleship. The second variant carries not only stronger versions of this weaponry, but carries missile launchers and long range turrets too. The most obvious difference between both types is the colour scheme - The Boss(and sometimes enemy) variant uses as pastel or hazel colour, while the much stronger version uses a crimson red to define its differentiation from its weaker type. For the Brown version, both the boss and enemy version look exactly the same, the only difference being the more restricted health pool for the enemy version.

Behaviour
As a Boss Battle The Boss is moves quite slowly on water, but it is highly aggressive once the player is in sight - it will immediately fire all its weapons at the player. These armaments can range from simple anti-air guns to homing missiles to machine gun fire. The Boss is highly aggressive and will hunt down the player and so will the enemy variant. As a regular enemy The battleship behaves similarly to its boss variant, the only difference is a smaller amount of health and taking overall less time to destroy. They use the same weaponry and attacks as the boss variant, but they are much weaker.
