Imperator Nikolai I
Tier IV · Battleship · U.S.S.R. · Premium
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 4) · Balanced battleship
Balanced battleship. It is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 11 min on paper). Sluggish acceleration means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes. Its weak detectability (10.2 km) drops to 9.08 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP). Dispersion at 10.8 km is about 390 m, 11% wider than average, so shoot from closer or wait for broadsides.

The last battleship laid down for the Imperial Russian Navy. Developed from the Imperatritsa Mariya-class battleships, she inherited high firepower from her predecessors. Experience gained in building early Russian dreadnoughts helped to significantly reinforce the ship's armor, which received an advanced arrangement.
