More Details

In battle, Arkhangelsk, is the very opposite of Royal Sovereign—she is best used for punishing enemies at medium to long range. She combines good AP shell characteristics with a better-than-average rate of fire and good accuracy.

However, she pays for this impressive firepower with her low speed, lower than average HP, and weaker bow and stern plating compared to other Tier VII Battleships. She additionally carries the typical Battleship consumables for her tier.

Overall, she will serve as effective supporting Battleship to more forward-positioned teammates.

Basic Devs details, full details will be added as soon as they become available.
