Sovetskaya Rossiya - Tier IX Soviet Premium Battleship 1939
Sovetskaya Rossiya was the fourth ship of the Sovetsky Soyuz-class battleships, a class intended to form the core of a new Soviet battlefleet. The ship herself was laid down at Molotovsk in Northern Russia. Following the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, resources and industrial capacity were redirected away from battleship construction toward more immediate wartime requirements. As a result, by the end of the war, Sovetskaya Rossiya was just 5% complete. She was ultimately ordered scrapped in March 1947.

Key Features and Battle Tips
Key Features
- Strong armor with fast reloading Damage Control Party, but with limited charges
- Higher accuracy than usual for a Soviet battleship, using the American accuracy formula
- Unimpressive speed and lower than average maneuverability
- Higher than average reload time for the caliber
- Limited maximum range and no access to the Spotting Aircraft consumable
Battle Tips
What's this? A Soviet battleship whose main guns are reliable at range? Indeed, Sovetskaya Rossiya is closely related to IX Sov. Soyuz, but with one big difference: her main battery uses American dispersion instead of the usual Soviet pattern. That makes her hard-hitting 406mm guns more consistent at medium and long range, further helped by a higher Sigma value, which causes her shells to group more tightly around your point of aim.
In battle, Sovetskaya Rossiya adopts a more traditional flanking role, similar to that of American or French battleships. She is better played at mid to long range, where she can utilize all her firepower to get accurate shots on enemy broadsides. And you'll still have time to maneuver and hide her own sides between salvos. She keeps the flavor of the Soviet battleships: strong armor, resilient to HE, and compact superstructure. Be aware that the Soviet special Fast Damage Control Team has a short cooldown but limited charges, meaning that you'll be more resilient to fires during trades but you'll be left extremely vulnerable to fire and floods once you've run out of charges. So save them for the most heated shell exchanges.
