Gangut — Soviet Tier IV battleship.

Was part of the first series of dreadnought battleships built in Russia. She was armed with twelve main battery guns. The ship's features included a significant area of side armor and a general layout providing a full sideboard salvo at the widest possible angles.

Player Opinion

Performance

Coming from Knyaz Suvorov, Gangut is sure to feel like a welcome improvement thanks mainly to the centerline turret layout which allows 75% of the main battery to be fired while still giving favorable hull angles to deflect or absorb incoming fire. Captains who own either Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya or Imperator Nikolai I will find adjusting to this ship to be a rather pain-free experience due to their similarities. However, since Gangut is a tech tree Russian battleship, it does not have the longer range accuracy found on the aforementioned premium ships and instead must close the distance with enemy ships to land more than singular random hits. This is somewhat easily accomplished by her 23-knot top speed which ties Gangut for second-fastest BB of the tier alongside Kaiser, meaning she will be able to (slowly) run down or outrun most other battleships in her matchmaking spread.

Pros:

• Good rudder shift time when upgraded to B-hull.
• Superstructure is small with well-armored conning towers to eat HE.
• Hull armor scheme pairs well with main battery layout.
• Main guns have good firing arcs and, for their limitations, shell ballistics.
• Damage control has fast cooldowns in exchange for limited charges.

Cons:

• Detection range is higher than maximum possible firing range without commander skills and camo.
• Slowest unmodified main battery reload in the game along with Knyaz Suvorov.
• Slightly improved, but still poor AA defense.
• High and underprotected citadel is easily hit if not angled.
• No torpedo blisters means only a 9% reduction in damage from torpedo hits

History

Gangut (Russian: Гангут) was both the lead ship of the Gangut-class dreadnoughts of the Imperial Russian Navy built before World War I and the last of her class to be completed. She was named after the Russian victory over the Swedish Navy in the Battle of Gangut in 1714. She was completed during the winter of 1914–1915, but was not ready for combat until mid-1915. Her role was to defend the mouth of the Gulf of Finland against the Germans, who never tried to enter, so she spent her time training and providing cover for minelaying operations. Her crew joined the general mutiny of the Baltic Fleet after the February Revolution and joined the Bolsheviks in 1918. She was laid up in 1918 for lack of manpower and not recommissioned until 1925, by which time she had been renamed Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya (Russian: Октябрьская революция: October Revolution).
She was reconstructed between 1931 and 1934 with new boilers, fire-control systems and greatly enlarged superstructures. During the Winter War she bombarded Finnish coastal artillery positions once. Her anti-aircraft armament was greatly reinforced in early 1941, just before Operation Barbarossa. She provided gunfire support against the Germans during the Siege of Leningrad despite being bombed three times and under repair for a year. Retained on active duty after the war she became a training ship in 1954 before being struck off the Navy List in 1956 and slowly scrapped.

Historical Inaccuracies

• In-game model depicts Gangut’condition as of 1916. Her 1914 condition when she first entered service does not exist. See Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya for the Soviet version.
• Actual anti-aircraft suite as of 1916 consisted of two 63.3 mm Model 1916 and one QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss for Gangut and Petropavlovsk, and two 75 mm Canet and one QF 2-pounder for Sevastopol and Poltava. In World of Warships, however, Gangut is armed with an AA suite four times her historical loadout.
