Royal Sovereign
Tier VIII · Battleship · U.K. · Premium
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 53) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship, suited to fire pressure. It is especially strong against battleships and cruisers (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 4 min on paper). Each Repair Kit restores 20% of max HP, up to 60% over a battle (standard 50%). Tanking damage and healing it back is this ship's biggest weapon. Main battery range is 13.4 km, and dispersion at 12 km is about 225 m, 33% tighter than average. Detectability of 9.9 km is 1.24 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first.

A Revenge-class battleship built as a slower version of the Queen Elizabeth class with a less powerful power plant, making it less expensive to produce. Royal Sovereign entered service at the height of World War I but did not see action. During World War II, the battleship protected convoys in the Atlantic and operated in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. From 1944 through 1949, Royal Sovereign served in the Soviet Navy under the name Arkhangelsk, after which she was returned to Great Britain and scrapped.
