5!!Tropes in the series include:
6* AlternateHistory: The series as a whole counts as this, given that ''Battleships are Magic'' is set in the past. (Specifically August 1990, during Operation Desert Shield).
7* CerebusSyndrome: The newest story, ''Ponyville Class'' is ''the'' first in the series to have the "Dark" tag.
8** Though not sudden as "The Truth" had a few character deaths.
9* ClockKing: Constant Clock, though he's ''not'' a villain.
10* CurbStompBattle: In ''Battleships are Magic'', the Equestrians (thanks to the ''Wisconsin'' providing naval support) pretty much '''pulverise''' a troop of dragons that had been invading the Zebra homeland.
11* DrivesLikeCrazy: A random driver fumbling for a cassette tape while driving nearly gets Celestia, Twilight, and Pinkie killed.
12* InvincibleHero: The USS ''Wisconsin'' in ''Battleships are Magic''. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] given the ship's [[MoreDakka sheer firepower]] and the differences in tech between Earth and Equestria this early in the series.
13* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: The Flim Flam brothers.]]
14* MassTeleportation: A battleship (specifically the USS ''Wisconsin''), in ''Battleships are Magic''.
15* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The Ukrainian Mob thinks this way in the "The Truth".
16* NoAntagonist / SliceOfLife: Some of the fics in the series are these.
17** In the second story the closest thing to a Antagonist is an idiot that took his eyes of the road and runs a van off a bridge nearly killing two of the mane six and Celestia.
18* OutOfCharacterAlert: ''The Truth''. Corrupt detective Smally mentions that Constant Clock mentioned awaiting his friends "in a couple of minutes". The other characters realize he's lying, as Constant Clock [[ClockKing always knows a precise time]].
19* WarFic: ''Battleships are Magic''.
20** One of the latest stories, ''Ponyville Class'' also qualifies.
