Player Opinion
Pros:
- Good rudder shift time and turning circle make Vanguard great for dodging torpedos.
- Most accurate tier 8 Battleship thanks to relatively low dispersion and high sigma.
- Concealment is able to be dropped to as low as 12km
- Excellent medium range anti-aircraft armament
- Has 1/4 pen, high damage and high fire chance on her HE shells.
Cons:
- Armament can feel lacking against higher tier Battleships.
- Very bad turret traverse angles.
- Takes large amounts of damage from High Explosive rounds that can penetrate her 32mm plating.
- Large citadel makes attempting to use all turrets very risky.
