Bogatyr — Soviet Tier III cruiser.
The best protected cruiser of its time in the Russian Navy. This ship was based on a project that was notable for its overall well-balanced features and good protection of the ship's numerous main guns, some of which were mounted in turrets. During World War I, the ship was re-armed with more advanced artillery.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Bogatyr is a decent cruiser for its tier. It has solid armor and maneuverability, with its specialty being in its guns. It can pack more main guns than any other tier 3 ship, 16 guns in fact. That's two more than the St.Louis! It can also shoot further than any other tier III cruiser. However it is important to note that the hang time for the shells is long, and that they fire on a high arc (both good and bad). Also the turret traverse is painfully slow even for a broadside mount. It is worth noting that the 130mm gun research is in many respects a down grade as it lowers damage, rof and doesn't improve anything except fire chance (1%) and doesn't improve that turret traverse at all. The only upside of it is unmarked and it decreases the dispersion of the shots and increases the shot velocity, which overall increases the accuracy of the guns. Overall, the Bogatyr is a powerful but limited ship.
Pros:
- Lots of guns on both sides of the ship, even more than the St Louis! Ideal for "circle of death" tactics
- Low caliber upgraded guns benefit from BFT/AFT and get full benefit from EM (+2.5° turret traverse)
- Upgraded guns have good ballistics for tier 3 allowing you to hit targets even at maximum range
Cons:
- Upgraded guns have lower damage per shell and worse RoF than stock guns
- Less HP and armor than the St Louis, however this ship still has better survivability than most other tier 3 cruisers
- Slow for a cruiser
