→Summary: removed "to manipulate its mass during hole rolls". One prop mod would be enough for that. It's beneficial to have AB, MWD, and MJD fitted on a rolling ship though. The article about the megathron isn't the place for an essay about rolling fits though. |

Like any battleship, the Megathron is a substantial step up from cruisers and battlecruisers, and benefits from good [[fitting skills]] and general [[support skills]]. Gunnery support skills and armor tank skills are especially helpful; being able to mount Tech 2 armor tank modules increases the ship's survivability. | Like any battleship, the Megathron is a substantial step up from cruisers and battlecruisers, and benefits from good [[fitting skills]] and general [[support skills]].

Historically, the Megathron was a fixture of sniper fleets in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Although outranged by the [[Apocalypse]] and [[Rokh]], the Megathron was preferred in most circumstances due to its unique combination of armor tank, tracking and rage-of-fire bonuses, and good drone capacity. | Historically, the Megathron was a fixture of sniper fleets in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
