Battleships are only spawned within one current map of the game and feature the most rewarding points so far for destroying a vehicle objective in the game.

Naval battles in the game will involve “torpedo, artillery and missile boats, coast guard vessels and submarine chasers”, the smaller vessels from WWII’s sea conflicts. Giveaways for closed beta access are also said to be coming during the GamesCom period (17 August to 21 August).
