The Tempest, however, is vulnerable to even the smallest of anti-naval air attacks, as it is not armed with any anti-air weapons. The Tempest is also equipped with an anti-torpedo weapon, making it more resistant to attacks by torpedo units, especially subs. The Megalith is also capable of defeating the Tempest, because it also has anti-torpedo weapons, stronger torpedoes, and two oversized proton cannon turrets which prevents surfacing of the Tempest. Regardless of stored aircraft, the Atlantis can still win against the Tempest if it remains submerged. Furthermore, the Atlantis can even build all of these aircraft while underwater, which's something the Aeon ship cannot do. The Atlantis can submerge, just like the Tempest, but it can also build and launch up to 150 aircraft of any tier (excluding transports). Both units have better torpedoes and superior health. There are two slightly more expensive units that will defeat a Tempest: the slightly higher-priced UEF Experimental Aircraft Carrier Atlantis, and the expensive Cybran Experimental Megabot Megalith. Other counters to the Tempest include the Hauthuum, other Tempests, or experimental ships from mods. No other naval unit is capable of doing so. Hence, the Summit Class Battleship can more or less guarantee a win or draw against a vessel that is over twice as expensive in mass and over four times the energy cost (11.250 vs 28.000 mass, 75.000 vs 350.000 energy). Given that the Tempest is such a large and slow target, this is definitely something to worry about. The Summit Class is the only Battleship to match the Tempest in main gun range, although the UEF and Seraphim cruisers' missiles will match the Tempest’s range as well. Though its torpedoes are weak, a smart Aeon commander will dive upon encountering a UEF Summit Class Battleship, which has been observed to either prevail or achieve a draw. The Tempest also has a long vision radius, and is equipped with radar and sonar. Its torpedoes are comparatively weak, however, and thus this unit should not be expected to defeat seaborne defenses or high-health navies from beneath the surface. The Tempest also has a series of torpedo launchers meant for self-defense. Although the battleships (all factions), aircraft carriers (all factions), and the Aeon destroyer would last a little longer due to their high HP, the Oblivion Cannon is able to take out closely grouped units with its high damage and its significant damage radius. If put in groups of five around your base they can easily make armies that were larger than 100 units drop like flies.Its most important capability is the extremely powerful Oblivion Cannon which, when the Tempest surfaced, has the capability to sink most naval units with a single well placed shot. Its AOE can takeout several of them at once quickly destroying large forces.
