The Kilowatt

The Kilowatt will be the next and 13th Tier 8 unit to be released.  It is a Battleship with base Strength of 1300 and comes fully upgraded with 1560 Strength--higher than any of the existing Tier 8 units.  The Kilowatt's item code is UT49.

The Kilowatt is the strongest Battleship in Empires & Allies now, being the same Tier as the Poisedon USV but having 44.4% higher Strength.  It is also the strongest military unit in the entire game, beating out the Beacon, Nimitzern, and Venom by 8.3% in Strength.

According to Wikipedia:

The kilowatt is equal to one thousand (103) watts. This unit is typically used to express the output power of engines and the power consumption of electric motors, tools, machines, and heaters. It is also a common unit used to express the electromagnetic power output of broadcast radio and television transmitters.
