Compared to the Lenin this ship is weak in my opinion, but I think some people can make her work, but she is not for the avreage joe.
I like it avg around 105k damge, Lenin is tangier, Borodino is more snipy.
I mean Lenin is overpowered so
You’re right, SLM! Come to think of it, I believe I’ve come across the Borodino about three time since it came out myself.
@Steve Kutznekov even at 15km, if the enemy DD doesn’t pay attention you can easil, chunk it for 10-15k if you are in the high tier range
12:26 They always seem to be top tier when I play tier 6.
6 guns only , that joke seems a bit old .. well at least this BB had all 6 ( heavy hitting ) guns forward in super firing position, the ship do not need to turn to uncover the whole barrage of 6 guns as the other 6 guns BB are , or even many of the 6 guns cruisers
Lenin is nuts it’s my favorite ship in the game
its pretty damn good in its tier. Uptiers makes it suffer a lot, but it does decent when it has islands to retreat behind
Borodinos were produced in larger numbers, but they were never going to be as popular as the Andromeda class. Renaming them as Dreadnaughts for the 2202 reboot did not seem to help.
Got it for Christmas and today i had a game with it. I like the guns, playing from like 13-14 km has decent dispersion and nose in is taking low damage. Radar is cool but short, i put it for a good use to check for dds on my flags since its very long a juicy target for a broadside torps. I like it has the normal repair party since when being shot from long distance i get a single fire which can extinguish multiple times, so no need for the usual fast repair. Tonight I will test it more. I have a Lenin as well and they are very different BBs in my opinion. Thank you for the video! 🙂
radar? you mean hydro?
I really mean radar. I get information for the ship itself, not the torps launched. Most of the dds have 12 or less torp range, so you can reliably check if there is a dds, if there is such, most probably there arw torps coming your way. It’s good for getting info for enemy ships in general – being dds, ships behind islands or during cyclone.
@Lester It has radar
I didn’t know this ship existed until I got it in a Christmas container. Looks like a mini Vlad with radar.
Russian ships being op, I’m shocked.
“How often are t8 ships top tier?’ Every time I play t6.
I just picked this ship up a few days ago. The first time I seen it I was not really interested, but I decided to give it a chance (since I had a coupon) and I’m glad I did. Like Sea Lord said you don’t see them much so I like that, and while her armor isn’t Vladivostok’s it is good enough to hold her own when bow tanking, but the real selling point for me was the guns, 31 second reload vs the standard 33 second of other Russian BB’s and unlike other Russian BB’s it actually has pretty good dispersion. Forget that you even have secondaries and if you get a secondary kill go and buy a lottery ticket. Speed is okay but she handles like the Titanic when turning. AA, you have some but you’re certainly not a no fly zone. The Radar is a nice bonus too, but she needs to be a team player to excel with it, her radar has great range but you will only get one salvo off once it is deployed. I would not say this ship is OP, but she is quite fun in the right circumstances.
I suppose that those who own Lenin simply do not need another T8 BB.
PS sorry for the long response lol
One thing you didn’t mention is that the bow on this thing is so long that most of the time, if she can pen around your icebreaker, Yamato/Musashi and Shikishima cannot citadel you. They can get full pens, but none of them have enough pen to reach the citadel before the shell blows
The situation you found yourself in at the end made me realize how powerful will to rebuild it
Love the borodino, tight dispersion, great maneuverability, but just watch your broadsides.
The only problem is how badly this thing get brutally uptiered. Like so many Tier VIII Premiums, they’re great at their tier and owned when they’re bottom tier.
I played it when it came out and I still like it, but I prefer cruisers mostly since the game at tier 8 and up is misserable for any battleship
