Total War: SHOGUN 2: Fall of the Samurai 1vs1: Ironclad (L’ocean class vs Warrior class)
Clan: Aizu vs Tosa
Battle Difficulty: normal
*Both ships used Armor-piercing (AP) shell and controlled by AI.
*I was sitting in Gun boat behind to watch the battle 😈.
L'ocean class ships are tough and versatile, with very strong hulls as well as good firepower. They also have superior range to Japanese ships, allowing them to get the first crucial volley off. If they have a weakness, it is their light armament relative to their cost: they can be cost effectively become overwhelmed if mobbed by cheaper ships. L'ocean class ships are one of only two ship types that can engage in ramming, alongside the Ironclad - Kotetsu class. They are the superior choice for ramming due to their much stronger hull strength, but this is still a risky maneuver, particularly against ships armed with armor-piercing shells. While they aren't as powerful or as strong as the Ironclad - Warrior class ship, L'Ocean ships are cheaper, more maneuverable, built more quickly, and have a unit cap of two instead of one.
The Warrior class ironclad is the strongest ship in Fall of the Samurai, boasting an armament of 42 cannons. Its heavy broadside can sink or detonate most ships with just a few volleys, and it boasts an unparalleled hull strength of 10,000: enough to take dozens of salvos from most ships and survive. It also boasts a slightly greater cannon range than most ships, allowing it to fire the first broadside and force opposing ships to maneuver closer to fire back. At close range, it has more crew than any other ship in the game, enough to fend off boarders with ease, though it cannot initiate boarding actions itself. A properly handled Warrior can take on an entire fleet and win. Its only significant weakness is its slow speed. Its large size also makes it somewhat more likely for enemy cannons to find their mark. The combination of its large size and slow speed make it an attractive target for torpedoes, particularly if caught between other ships or land. The Warrior is significantly more powerful than than its American or French counterparts, and is one of the main reasons for choosing to establish diplomatic relations with the British. However, it is the only foreign-exclusive ironclad to have a limit of one ship, compared to the two Ironclad - Roanoke class and Ironclad - L’ocean class are granted. Despite the very high cost of the Warrior and the British Trading District required to build it, the Warrior is well worth the cost. It is technically possible to have more than one Warrior class ship by successfully boarding and capturing an enemy Warrior, but this is difficult as it means declaring war on a fellow Imperial faction that is wealthy enough to build a British Trading District (only Imperial factions can establish diplomatic missions with the United Kingdom) and a Warrior (something the A.I rarely does), then trying to board the Warrior itself. This is a gamble that would likely result in the loss of half a navy, given the Warrior's massive armament, superior range, and large crew.
