Phantom Reviews - Gangut Class Battleship

"I've lost my faith in Soviet battleships."

- PhantomXT Ace Mx, 2015


 * The ship has 26,000 at max tonnage, and for a ship of that size, it's very bad.


 * The guns lack firepower and fire rate, leaving you at mercy of even early battleships. And to get decent armament, you need to level up all the way to 40.


 * You can't fit even a mediocre amount of armor on it, 5" deck and 4" belt is what you get.


 * Secondary guns are awful. Enough said.


 * You get underwater torpedo tubes, which are useless, since you need to turn the entire ship in other to fire them.


 * Gun layout is terrible.

In all, a very bad battleship, not even in par with the Kongo - The only good thing is the ship's health, but don't get excited about it, since a Yamato will tear it away in no time.

For those grinding the cruiser line (Kirov), stay with the Kirov and level it all the way up to 50, skip the trouble of going through early Soviet battleships.

I shall restart my Soviet grind, or maybe halt it as a whole, the Yamato and the H Class are closer.
