Disambig.png This article is about the class of cheap naval vehicles used to transport players and equipment during naval landings. For the old Landing Ship used prior to 1.54 Naval Warfare, see BMS - White Whale.

The Landing Ship is a class of Naval Vehicles with a bay and deployable ramp designed to transport and ferry large amounts of personnel and equipment (including a small shippable) from a Base Ship to an enemy coastline. They are specially designed for limited use: they are built on Base Ships at an extremely low cost and despawn after a short while. They can also be demolished, which will refund half of their cost.

Trivia

  • The classification of Landing Ship was originally given to the BMS - White Whale, which was the precursor to the BMS - Longhook.
  • The introduction of Landing Ships into the game, as well as their mechanics, were included to resolve some of the issues that Naval Landings had, which were:
    • The clogging of beaches due to ships (specifically Barges) taking up space, and requiring some players to ferry others to participate in the landing (reducing the "fun" of Naval Landings). As such, the new Landing Ships were designed to be demolished, reducing the potential of vehicles clogging up a coastline.
    • The fast-paced redeployment of ships needed to keep a Naval Landing sustained. Due to these operations requiring the fast redeployment of personnel, these ships were given a low production cost in order to quickly get soldiers off of the ships, onto a boat, and off towards the landing zone.
