~~You can't get heavier then this and still stay in~~ sub capital ships~~, although there are of course variations~~. ~~Great~~ buffer tanks, very high dps when ~~close range~~ fitted, long range ~~fits~~ have the best range in the game, while still maintaining good dps (usually ~~Apoc~~, ~~Mega~~, Maelstrom/Tempest and Rokh~~, however, Mega and Mael/Tempest can also be close range fitted and still perform better then/as well as the other BS of their race~~). One notable exception ~~here: The~~ Caldari Scorpion, which is the only T1 EW BS, and ~~use~~ ECM.

Battleships are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital ships in the game. They can mount great buffer tanks and can deal very high dps when fitted for short ranges. Battleships fitted for long range have the best range in the game, while still maintaining good dps (these are usually the Apocalypse, Megathron, Maelstrom, Tempest and Rokh). One notable exception is the Caldari Scorpion, which is the only T1 EW BS, and uses ECM.

~~The battleships weakness is~~ low speed and agility combined with slow ~~lock~~ speed and bad tracking~~, so it's~~ hard to force ~~an opponent~~ in smaller ships to engage if the ~~odds~~ are ~~in your favor~~, or to ~~actually~~ kill ~~them~~ since ~~you'll be missing allot if you do get~~ a ~~fight~~.

Battleships' weaknesses are low speed and agility, combined with slow locking speed and bad gun tracking speeds. It is therefore hard for battleships to force opponents in smaller ships to engage if the smaller ships are unwilling, and battleships can also struggle to kill smaller targets.

In pve battleships are also the standard class of ship used to run Level 4 missions, since they can fit active tanks good enough to survive lots of dps over a sustained period of time, while still dealing out enough damage to complete missions reasonably quickly. Battleships fitted to solo Level 4 missions usually rely on light and medium drones to for defence against smaller NPC targets.
