Loading...The first installment of our new 1:42 Scale video series takes an up-close look at the legendary Russian battleship Borodino. Using a detailed scale model of the ship, the video takes a look at Borodino’s journey halfway around the world during the Russo-Japanese War and her loss during the Battle of Tsushima.

Just like old Russia to take something as badass as this ship and hinder
its capabilities due to old technology XD (Coal-powered engine, storing the
coal)
Kruppstahl FTW
Please start using the metric system FFS!
Admit it, Russians suck at shipbuilding. Take a look at the British and
Japanese, that’s how you do it.
nice story, nice ship …. not so much of a legend, but she did take a
beating before she sunk, but still not so much of a legend 😛 …. however,
i think it will be a rank III premium BB and she will have a really short
fire range, but will still be a real brute in combat.
what a sad storie
look phly
So your a hero for failing to invade a zone?
Lol at this time America had the South Carolina
all that and still they lost the battle
legenda em português ou espanhol por favor!!!!
metric system motherfuckers, use it.
So…will this ship be added to the game?
UGH! Please Wargaming, these over dubbed videos are really poor.
Lovely to know about the next to non-existent Russian Navy. Now how about
some stories about the Royal Navy huh?
Don’t want to sound dis-respectful. But what was legendary about this ship?
It seems she did very poorly in combat in the Battle of Tsushima.
It’s interesting to note that Borodino and her half-sister ships of the
Tsesarevich class were commissioned from and built by the French and as
such inherited many traits of French naval design at that time,
particularly the pronounced tumblehome (the inward curve between the hull &
the superstructure). Likewise, the modern Japanese battleships that
participated in the Battle of Tsushima had been commissioned from and built
by British shipyards and as such resembled British pre-dreadnought
practices. So in a way, Tsushima was also a battle between the British and
the French in terms of warship design.
However, as naval historian Anthony Preston notes in his book “The World’s
Worst Warships”, this very tumblehome practice resulted in the Russian
battleships being very unstable and more vulnerable to capsizing due to
damage to the superstructure, exactly the sort of damage the Japanese high
explosive shells caused at Tsushima.
Incidentally, I have a hunch we may be seeing the Borodino in WoWs someday
as a complement to the Japanese tier 2 battleship Mikasa. I think Borodino
may have the edge over Mikasa in terms of secondary armament, having larger
guns with longer range that are mounted in small turrets, but I wonder if
the devs will also take into account the weakness of her tumblehome design.
Great video, hope wel’ll see more in the future !
ehh re-upload?
Sorry but Heroism? Sounds more like lemmings…they were critically damaged
and turned around to fight an unnecessary battle they weren’t going to win
when they could have instead headed to a safe port for at least some
repairs and resupplying since they lost two ships. Heroism is when you take
a destroyer escort into a battleship melee to protect escort carriers
because the enemy mistook your task force for a battle group. What
destroyer am I describing? Samuel B Roberts? Maybe yall could do research
on that crew before claiming that this lemming mentality is heroic.
If they have the Mikasa in the game, they should put this ship in it too.
Is very cool the ships ; thas for the game .
We need more pre dreadnoughts in game. : )
That model is gorgeous (Who would’ve thought that statement would be
referring to a ship?). Can’t wait to see more.
They had a war of 1812 too?
Nice video. Love to see more.
That is a beautiful ship. Would not mind if it where in the game.
Amazing video! Loved it! Cool info about how it’s secondaries could operate
in any weather condition to.
So when can we expect it in game? im guessing it will be tier 2 or 3.
Add. This. Now. I. Want. Now.
Just going off what I have seen here, if or rather when this class gets in
WoWS it will be a brawler due to the heavy armor and large number of
secondaries. I love the look of this class though so I cannot wait for it.
Thumbs up, thank u
