Player Opinion

Battleship - Borodino

Pros:

• Massive transverse bulkhead for bow-in work; 50mm deck over a 100-120mm citadel roof.
• Waterline belts extend both fore and aft.
• Very low profile superstructure with an armored face that barely extends over the main battery.
• Quick main battery turret traverse.
• Good main battery performance, with less dispersion, higher sigma, and more range than Lenin.
• Good mid- and short-range AA armament.
• Access to the Surveillance Radarconsumable with good range.

Cons:

• Only 25mm bow and stern plating. Battle-cruiser level side protection over a citadel well above the waterline.
• Only six (6) 406mm main rifles in two forward-facing turrets.
• Only four (4) 180mm secondary rifles in two turrets located at the ship's aft.
• Very long ship with an appropriately large turn radius.
• Long-ranged AA armament is rather poor.
