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.

Player Opinion
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, Nikolai loses easily to destroyers and aircraft due to bad maneuverability, bad AA and the agonizing reload time of the guns. Nikolai also has a very large citadel that extends up to the bottom of the secondary gun batteries. In exchange, she has easy time with cruiser HE.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Imperator Nikolai I from the NA forums
Pros:
- Twelve 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 nonexistent 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.
- HUGE citadel
