? | + | ''Poltava'' is a premium Tier 7 Soviet battleship that takes several departures from the techtree vessels of the same nation and class, especially its direct non-premium counterpart ''[[Sinop]]''. | ||
? | + | While it still enjoys good armor protection for a Tier 7 battleship, though marred by a large, above-the-water citadel block, the major difference between ''Poltava'' and its techtree sisters lies in its main armament. Whereas ''Sinop'' and above use 406mm guns, culminating with ''[[Kremlin]]'''s massive 457mm armaments, ''Poltava'' uses 3x3 356mm rifles - the same caliber used in Tier 6 by techtree Soviet battleship ''[[Izmail]]''. For Tier 7, this is a rather underwhelming caliber as it is unable to [[Ship:Armor_Penetration#Overmatch|overmatch]] 25mm of armor with AP, a frustrating limitation when considering that most higher tier ships have 25mm or thicker common plating, such as bows/afts. The turrets are also less armored compared to the ones used by techtree Soviet battleships, making them easier to disable or outright destroy. That said, ''Poltava'' still enjoys rather decent HE shells with a good fire chance, as well as excellent AP penetration and shell velocity, among the best in the game for its gun caliber. | ||
? | + | ''Poltava'' also enjoys better concealment and somewhat better accuracy at range compared to techtree Soviet battleships, which makes the ship overall more suited to conventional mid-long range engagements. This is the major difference between ''Poltava'' and its sisters - whereas Soviet battleships do well in brutal close range engagements, ''Poltava'' should play more conservatively and not actively seek brawls. | ||

? | + | Poltava represents the project 64 battleship design in 1937 put forward by Mikhail Vladimirovich Viktorov as part of the ocean going fleet program. The Design was based off of the UP.41 italian battleship design, which was the basis for the Littorio class. The design was to be 53,000 Tons, armed with 9 356mm guns and a top speed of 29 knots. Project 64 was designed to counter the French Dunkerque and Scharnhorst classes. | ||

Poltava is a premium Tier 7 Soviet battleship that takes several departures from the techtree vessels of the same nation and class, especially its direct non-premium counterpart Sinop. While it still enjoys good armor protection for a Tier 7 battleship, though marred by a large, above-the-water citadel block, the major difference between Poltava and its techtree sisters lies in its main armament. Whereas Sinop and above use 406mm guns, culminating with Kremlin's massive 457mm armaments, Poltava uses 3x3 356mm rifles - the same caliber used in Tier 6 by techtree Soviet battleship Izmail. For Tier 7, this is a rather underwhelming caliber as it is unable to overmatch 25mm of armor with AP, a frustrating limitation when considering that most higher tier ships have 25mm or thicker common plating, such as bows/afts. The turrets are also less armored compared to the ones used by techtree Soviet battleships, making them easier to disable or outright destroy. That said, Poltava still enjoys rather decent HE shells with a good fire chance, as well as excellent AP penetration and shell velocity, among the best in the game for its gun caliber.
Poltava also enjoys better concealment and somewhat better accuracy at range compared to techtree Soviet battleships, which makes the ship overall more suited to conventional mid-long range engagements. This is the major difference between Poltava and its sisters - whereas Soviet battleships do well in brutal close range engagements, Poltava should play more conservatively and not actively seek brawls.Pros:
- Some of the best 356mm guns in the game in terms of AP penetration and muzzle velocity
- Good HE shell fire chance
- Better than average reload speed at 28 seconds
- Good top speed of 29 knots and fairly quick rudder shift for a battleship
- Has an "icebreaker" bow above the waterline as additional protection when bow-on
- Same short cooldown Damage Control Party as tech-tree Soviet battleships
- Good concealment
Cons:
- The citadel sits above the waterline, making Poltava very vulnerable when caught broadside
- Small gun caliber for its tier, cannot overmatch 25mm of armor
- Gunnery can be frustrating at times due to low sigma (1.7)
- Sluggish turret traverse speed
- Damage Control Party has limited charges, it's entirely possible to run out if mishandled
- Enormous turning circle
- Different playstyle compared to techtree Soviet battleships, can take some time to adjust
