Borodino TE: Tier VIII Soviet Tournament Battleship 1952

A tournament edition clone of a ship for the purpose of testing new mechanics and ship contents in tournaments.
A battleship which should be played close to objectives with terrain features, where she can retreat if she comes under heavy fire. The ship's Consumables and characteristics promote this playstyle - the consumables have long cooldowns but many charges. In combination with Combat Instructions like San Martin’s, this creates a recipe for swift, well-calculated engagements.
