I think ill give this ship a pass. Saw you playing it Friday night.
Played a match with two borodinos on the enemy team, they were both on the same flank and one of our dd’s got angry he kept being spotted. Then he fell into depression when I told him borodino has 12 km radar

Me: cries in the Gneisenau :'(
I honestly had a pretty good exeperience with the Borodino so far, positioning is key as always and play like a battlecruiser. I also don’t recommend to get too close to a cap early game, leave that to the true radar cruisers that have better concealment. But if you got cover and are aware of your surroundings you can start to push up. Also, staying completely bow on, like a Jean Bart is not the way, you gotta angle and hope your enemy is not aware of your 25mm bow, that’s pretty much the only true weakness apart from relatively thin citadel protection. But It’s really fun to play, especially when you’re top tier of course 😉 I devestaded a poor Ismael yesterday with 4 cits^^
PS: Just had amazing T10 game with Borodino, 182K, 8cits, 2.3k base XP 😀
God i can’t wait to see how the is released in WOWSB. Will its rear turrets be min battery or secondary? Will she get autosecondaries? Will she be as bad the tech tree? Only time will tell.
These guns remind me oh Nelson guns. Very trolly… Still a fun ship and it does work
This ship is the flattest battleship ever the super structure looks like a bunker
The Constellation has 8 guns, not 6.
For the same price of a Lenin, we get – 33 % firepower and worse armor.
and a radar.
@Black Cadillac … and you can shoot only once while it’s active.
Though borodino has soyuz guns and soyuz guns have superior penetration than lenins
You don’t need the pen…
Lenin’s pen is sufficient and it feels like the guns are even more balansed than soyus…
Also firing angles in Lenin are op
I wish Lenin was still available. I passed on it and have been regretting it since all the new premiums are gimmick filled and lacking substance.
I really feel like this ship would be great if she had better accuracy or faster reload
Saved me some money, thanks for the review
This thing has battlecruiser dispersion and 2.0 sigma. And this should be compared to the Constellation. It is a battlecruiser in battleship slot. Just like you can’t play Elbin as a regular DD.
Did the same in a DM. Didn’t get the kill, but farmed him for almost 40K damage over the course of the game.
Faced one in the Johan De Witt today, while fighting for the center cap of Sleeping Giant, and citadeled it twice.
Stalingrad feels soft if your enemies know where to shoot
Not balanz since it has no 360 20″ turrets and Soviet magic shells
It is just me WG stop producing OP premium ships after they stop listening to community feedback.
