=== Overall strategy===
The War Junk is the main "heavy" warship of the Indian and Chinese fleets (as well as that of many other minor Asian states, excluding Japan), and with performance comparable to that of a European Frigate. The difference however is that these warships cost Wealth, not Metal, and do not need Military research, but suffer from a lower rate of fire. In contrast to the lighter Xebec War Junks are the main "cannon" ships of most early Asian navies, being tasked with duelling en masse against enemy artillery and fortifications at fairly close ranges.
Because they don't have the same range as a Galleass or a Bomb Ketch, always seek to use War Junks to swarm enemy fortifications, but do not destroy them. Instead, distract the enemy with the cannon fire of your War Junks so as to open the land for the arrival of artillery or melee infantry who will deal damage to the enemy's fortifications. Concentrate Fire Vessels or Rocket Boats to despatch your opponent's heavy vessels from interfering, then close in for the kill.
