Did you catch the destroyer in the preview?
I think I read somewhere that said that you will be able to control Battleships.
Lars Gustafsson in the interview on stage after the trailer confirmed there are battleships and we’ll be able to use them. I just wonder if it’s something like the gunship in BF 3 and 4 (AI controlling the thing and player only shooting), or something better where the player is actually able to control the ship.
Hopefully its like 1942 and we can sail the ships ourselves again.
That wasn’t a destroyer. It was a predreadnought/dreadnought class battleship. The ship looked like either the HMS dreadnought, the nameship that designated the battleship class, or if its in the pacific, the battleship mikasa or shikishima class predreads. IDK what the Kreigsmarine ship was called.
I think it’s a Dystroyer because the game creators have been calling it by the name “Dystroyer” and there is another chat with heading of Dystroyer.

GamesBeat: The trailer showed a battleship. Do you plan to have multiple kinds of sea vehicles?
Berlin: There are lots of vehicles we’re going to unveil in the future, a lot more to come. The battleship is just one of them.
It was a Battleship.
Had to break up the link because it wouldn’t let me post links.
So much guessing in these forum… 
Here are some of my guesses which gamemechanics can be compared between BF1 & BF4
Horses = Dirtbike
Biplane = AT jet
C4 = Dyn-o-mite
Gas-attacks = Mortarstrike
Blimps = AH Helis
Battleship = Gunship
looks accurate
A blimp can go about 50 mph, an attack heli over 150 mph Just not sure how a blimp would coorespond to any heli…
