Arkhangelsk: Tier VII Soviet Premium Battleship 1916

Revenge-class British battleship Royal Sovereign, transferred to the U.S.S.R. in 1944. She entered service at the height of World War I. During World War II, she took part in operations across various theaters from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. In the Soviet Navy, under the name Arkhangelsk, she was the largest warship in service at that time. She was part of the Northern Fleet, which operated in the Arctic, but didn't take an active role in military operations. In 1949, she was returned to Great Britain and dismantled.

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.
