Gangut — Soviet Tier IV battleship.

At the end of 1907, after the requirement specifications for the new battleship had been determined, the Shipbuilding and Procurement Bureau sent out invitations to Russian and foreign shipbuilding companies to participate in the tender. 9 projects were selected out of 23 submitted, and the project from Baltic Works was considered the best. The construction of four new battleships—Poltava, Petropavlovsk, Sevastopol, and Gangut—lasted from 1909 until 1911. The latter served in the Navy until the end of the 1950s.

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 and the ship's 32 mm outer plating makes her highly resistant to HE spam.
  • The main guns have good firing arcs, accuracy, and penetration.
  • Damage control has a fast cooldown.

Cons:

  • Detection range is higher than maximum possible firing range without commander skills and camo.
  • Same poor reload time as Knyaz Suvorov.
  • Slightly improved, but still poor AA defense.
  • High and under-protected citadel is easily hit if not angled. The ship's armour is ineffective against battleship guns.
  • No torpedo blisters means only a 9% reduction in damage from torpedo hits.
  • Damage control has limited charges.

Research

The research path of Gangut is relatively simple – players are encouraged to first unlock the (B) hull to increase ship health, anti-aircraft armament, and rudder response time, and finish with the fire control upgrade, which allows for a 10% firing range upgrade.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Gangut are as follows:

Commander Skills

Consumables

Gangut equips the following consumables:

Keep in mind that while the damage control team is very efficient, it can be used a limited number of times before becoming exhausted.

Signals

Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
