Tier IV · Battleship · U.S.S.R.
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 54) · Gunnery battleship
Gunnery battleship. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Its 305mm guns carry a 250% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 36,300. Wide dispersion makes it a high-variance gun, though. Sluggish rudder shift means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.

Part of the first series of dreadnought battleships built in Russia, she was armed with twelve main battery guns. The ship had extensive side armor and a general layout that allowed for a full sideboard salvo at the widest possible angles.
