Review: Imperistykaktia Mariya Battleship

I have never, EVER had a ship this bad in Naval Frontline. This shipmakes the previous ship, the Gangut, look majestic in comparison. There is just...so many things that are terrible with this ship, and overall, its just...bad.

There are many things that are bad with it, so I will make a list of the terrible flaws of this ship.

-Weaponry: Range doesn't change a whole lot from the Gangut. You are still stuck with 304 ranged guns...for the whole, god-damned haul. What is worse is that you get the same gun selection from the Gangut, and what's worse; you don't even get the upgraded guns until level 40, 2 levels AFTER you unlocked the ship! The gun arcs from the Gangut don't get any-better, turret 4 never points to it's target and it doesn't improve.

-Secondary Weaponry: As bad as ever. Avoid at all cost; even the torpedoes are a novelty and should not be equipped.

-Protection: Absolutely dreadful. Not only does it have the same survivability as the Gangut (which was impressive back at level 30 but not even close to being impressive now), but it also gets less TONNAGE than the Gangut! This means that not only does the ship get shredded very quickly, but it can fit LESS ARMOR than a Gangut. Absolute disappointment.

-Mobility: Ugh, where do I even start here? Despite having less tonnage than the Gangut, it is SLOWER by 0.5 knots. That is just the first of my troubles; turning is unresponsive, and makes many of the British cruisers look like if they can turn on a dime (That is saying something).

All in all, the Gangut fails all 3 categories. The ship is just that bad.

I cannot recommend it at all. Not even in the slightest.

Good afternoon.
