A battleship of Project 23bis developed in 1939 to address deficiencies revealed in the Sovetsky Soyuz-class and intended to be used in the next series of battleships. The project provided for the redesign of the defense systems, including armor and torpedo protection, and strengthening the anti-aircraft armament. The use of a four-turret armament configuration was also considered, but it was deemed unviable due to its excessively large displacement. Eventually, not a single ship of Project 23bis was ever laid down.
Key Features and Battle Tips
Key Features
- Heavy twelve-gun salvo: Delivers devastating broadsides using twelve 406mm guns mounted in a standard four-turret layout.
- Good ballistics: Fast-flying shells with good base range allow for effective medium- to long-range fire.
- Decent accuracy: Reliably lands salvos at range, though she lacks access to Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2.
- Good armor when angled: Solid 50mm plating shatters standard HE and bounces all AP calibers in the game, including 510mm and 508mm rifles.
- Poor concealment: High visibility ensures she spends most matches spotted by opposing forces.
- Poor maneuverability: Sluggish handling and below-average agility make turning maneuvers punishing if mistimed.
- Long reload time: High alpha damage is offset by a longer-than-average cycle between salvos.
Battle Tips
Unlike traditional Soviet battleships that thrive in close-quarters brawls, Rodina excels as a medium-to-long-range midliner, handling much like an American dreadnought such as Montana. Your bread and butter is the turn-and-angle rhythm: position at mid-range, swing wide to unleash all twelve guns, and immediately angle back before incoming return fire arrives.
Rely heavily on your 50mm exterior plating to deflect even the heaviest AP shells and mitigate high-explosive damage, but never show full broadside—your citadel is vulnerable to direct hits.
Because of your large surface detection radius and poor rudder handling, you cannot easily disengage or escape ambush situations. Plan maneuvers well in advance, track enemy firing cycles before committing to a turn, and resist overextending into crossfires where your slow reload and sluggish turning can be exploited.
