Full disclaimer: I apologize profusely if this already exists somehow or has been suggested before.

As of right now, battleships and dreads are like shotguns, with all the guns in the front. To make backs of the ship more useful I suggest: The scout plane/biplane.

This would be a new type of plane. Only 1 would be allowed and able to function per ship as to not make dreadnoughts turn into Aircraft carriers.

They'd be smaller then other planes. I'd say 50 blocks minimum and 125 blocks maximum, (though feel free to suggest sizes) And they would function around ~200ish blocks from the battleship.

We already have a block that works on battleships and dreads but not planes. Concrete! And I'm sure there's some other blocks too.

The planes would have small armaments like a single fighter gun and *MAYBE* a torpedo. Their use would be to stop fighters and bombers from reaching any allied ships and to attack the enemy ships with a torpedo *MAYBE*.

And for anybody concerned, this IS grounded in real life. Sources:

Please tell me in the comments suggestions (and tell me how stupid this suggestion is lol).
