+ | Imperator Nikolai I is basically a Wyoming that lacks AA in exchange for increased main battery accuracy. The dispersion of the guns despite having 3 barrels is about the same as Wyoming, meaning more accurate guns. However, the Nikolai loses easily to destroyers and aircraft due to the bad maneuverability, bad AA and the agonizing reload time of the guns. In exchange, it has a well-protected citadel and an easy time with cruiser HE. | |||

+ | Imperator Nikolai I (Russian: Император Николай I or Emperor Nikolai I) was a Russian dreadnought built during World War I for service in the Black Sea. She was designed to counter multiple prospective Ottoman dreadnoughts which had been placed under order by the Ottoman government, since this raised the possibility that the Russian dreadnoughts being built for the Black Sea Fleet could be outclassed. The ship used the same main armament as the preceding Imperatritsa Mariya class, but was larger and more heavily armored. Imperator Nikolai I was launched in 1916, but construction was suspended on 24 October 1917. The Soviets considered completing her in 1923, but later rejected the idea. She was towed to Sevastopol in 1927 and scrapped. | |||

Imperator Nikolai I — Soviet special premium Tier IV battleship.
To prevent a possible advantage of the Turkish Fleet over the Black Sea Fleet during World War I, the fourth dreadnought of the Black Sea Fleet, Imperator Nikolai I, was laid down in the city of Mykolaiv in 1914. The initial armament composition of the ship was revised to speed up her construction—it was planned to mount 305 mm guns on the battleship instead of 356 mm ones. The ship was launched in 1916; however, further work was halted due to a lack of the required mechanisms and equipment. The Soviet authorities renewed their plans to complete the battleship construction in the 1920s, but they were never fulfilled.

Performance
Imperator Nikolai I is basically a Wyoming that lacks AA in exchange for increased main battery accuracy. The dispersion of the guns despite having 3 barrels is about the same as Wyoming, meaning more accurate guns. However, the Nikolai loses easily to destroyers and aircraft due to the bad maneuverability, bad AA and the agonizing reload time of the guns. In exchange, it has a well-protected citadel and an easy time with cruiser HE.
Pros:
- 12 12 inch guns to use against any threat
- Powerful secondary batteries
- Armor is more than enough to shrug off other 12 inch shells and most HE shells.
- Accurate triple-barreled gun turrets
Cons:
- Almost nonexistant AA, expect to be a target for planes
- Lacking speed and agility
- While the armor is good for lower tiers, it fails to protect against larger caliber guns.
- Reload time of the guns is slow, 35 seconds to be exact.
- Torpedo protection is poor, making you an easy target for destroyers.
