The most inexpensive vessel for naval protection against air-attacks, the corvette is specifically to help guard your flotillas with surface-air missiles. While a bit pricey at 17 credits, if you're planning a shore-defense or attack against a carrier grouping, this unit is a must.
It's success is higher defensively (30% chance to hit) versus offensively (20% chance to hit). It's not a bargain by any means, but its the only naval unit besides capital ships, battleship (BTL) and carrier (CAR), that has the air-defense capability.
It's anticipated that 1 out of every 10 units should be of this type. |
