Loading...Borodino is the new Soviet battlecruiser with radar. Her firepower is good, shells are great, but her survivability is more like a cruiser’s.
The ship was given to me by Wargaming.

World of Warships footage of the tier 8 Soviet battlecruiser (battleship) Borodino.
Ahh yes, the ship that you had no idea about just a few days ago…also she’s a long girl
That match was almost 2 months ago though. That’s why I said “at the time”.
holy smoke this ship got nose so long you can make her a hybrid aircraft carrier
Don’t give them ideas…
@Angrach thank you
…Aaand months later that’s exactly what they’ll do!
Ah yes, the Soviet battleship long schlong.
Jimmy Durante?
Stern deck makes me think:
*hidden vodka generator powering the engine? Pog?*
She looks like a fun ship. Frontal guns, radar, Kuznetzov… Is fun.
25mm bow tho
seems like wg has NELSON envy LOL
Nah, this is Richelieu envy. Nelson envy was Lenin
Surviveability More like a cruiser? So a Soviet cruiser, so more durable than other nations battleships…
I was thinking more like a regular cruiser. The dutch cruisers literally have more citadel protection than this battleship.
It’s a mixed bag. Sure, 50mm deck, 60mm ice breaker but 220mm cit belt, that’s enough for Manfred to AP rocket and cit you
What’s longer: Borodino’s bow or War & Peace, which begins with a wonderful description of the Battle of… Borodino?
the bow of Vladivostok maybe ?
seems the radar is mainly for support and self defense but still tho its 12 km
The secondary guns look like Nevsky guns right?
They are nevsky guns
They are Nevsky guns.. but nerfed. Useless guns.
Soviets proposes a compact battleship on a budget. Ends up longer than an Iowa.
Not compact, rather light armed battleship hence few guns and weak protection, that’s said it still a pretty damn big and heavy ship (45k tons as designed).
I’ll call this ship a RADARINO for now. LEL
Interesting ship maybe it’s fun to play and looks like a mini slava
Therapist: Russian Richelieu isn’t real, it can’t hurt you
Russian Richelieu:
World of Russian Fantasy Warships…
lol those two secondairies in the back are a joke
one shell hits the water next to the ship and the other shell hits 5km away “realistic”
Alas the glorious Soviet navy gets yet another Cold War fantasy ship while the Germans dig out their WWI blueprints to compete. WG will never change…
That definition is off though, the German battlecruisers during WW1 had battleship levels of armour but smaller guns.
Yep, but no improved autobounce angles.
To be fair the best representation of a BC was Hood, which ended up with comparable armor to the Queen Elizabeth-class despite being designed much lighter initially. Battlecruiser is pretty useless as a descriptor.
@Aerroon no auto bounce on the upper, but that icebreaker is still liable to bounce and only ranged shots should citadel easily. You still sacrifice a lot for T8 high velocity 16″s.
@Stefan Skoglund so what different to large cruiser
@Almighty Deity I would say the best representation of a BC is different across different nations. Alaska fits a better representation than Hood because she was lighter than a battleship but had battleship guns for taking out battleships. Compared to the WWI Germans who, as Vulture stated, were battleships with smaller guns
@Mike Hays Hood was heavier than a South Dakota-class battleship with the same armament as a Queen Elizabeth-class. She definitely wasn’t light nor was she lightly armored.
