Having recently got this ship, I have to admit I quite like it. Having one barrel less per turret than the Richi is compensated for by better accuracy (probably more so). Even with the uninspiring armour, as long as you can keep yourself bow in you can make life pretty hard for most BBs that have to expose more broadside to be get all turrets on you. If you have a lvl 12 commander, APCS and citadel crisis can give you absolutely hilarious damage potential. And it has much more useful skills than the Richi - to be honest, I find the speed boost can sometimes just get me into trouble more quickly 😂
I laughed when Terry compared ships. Lol Wargaming sees "small" as the biggest thing ever. I bet within 2 years we are gonna have a carrier that uses this exact hull.
Used this ship for an hour now and this is what it is, is an upgraded Poltava. It’s paper and just like Poltava you turn away “first” then start shooting otherwise you’re done, if you start the fight heading in, you already sewed up. It’s a fat cruiser that’s actually good at getting hits on destroyers with its tight hit patterns but Don’t even waste time with it unless your using a legendary commander.
Borodino seems awesome. I was kind of expecting the guns to be precise, since it has fewer. Also bigger shell damage. You survived with 81 HP, which was more than enough lol. I hope (and it's most likely gonna be) it's not in a Sonar Event or crates.
That's a hard call, actually. I like Richie for the manoeuvrability, which gives her rush capability if there's a suitable situation, but this one sure has a good amount of utility. Richie has the better AA, but overall, I'd play either tbh.
Hi Terry thank you very much for the video review! How was the bow armor Terry, is it comparable to Richelieu's? She is first released and be made available through a roulette event, I guess a lot of people seemed to like that method in wowsb since the company also has started to adopt the same method in wotb. What gives. It will be grossly overpriced with a sure get as the trade off. At this stage I have already had way too many ships, a lot of them I dont play with anymore I dont gave enough time to play everyday, too. My in game resources starts to pile up. I dont think I am going to buy this ship. Theres already a certain bc in t8 with peerless guns, better speed and better agility that I like to play with from time to time, I dont think this borodino is going to be able to eclipse that ship at all. So my wallet and my in game resources are closed for the time being, not going to buy this ship, pass. I am waiting for your Ragnar review.😊
I haven't noticed anything special about the bow armour. She's not super sturdy, but the gun layout allows for interesting positioning, and having radar on that thing can be a really nasty surprise for DDs, especially that it's got a 9km range. I won't be able to get a Ragnar review out next week, since I'm on vacation, and have already pre-recorded everything. But I'll try my best to do one the week after when I get back :)
@@Fenryr7 WG is all about making profits, and ignoring player feedback. I mean they listen when they are either reminded of a past promise or when they are pressured. A good saying that defines WG would be "create a problem and sell the solution."
@@Fenryr7 They have made many complaints about many of the bugs, but WG doesn't care. You should see especially in PC, WG outright ignores their playerbase and then wonder why not many people are playing. Especially when it came to submarines, WG claims people approve, but it's literally false. An example for Blitz is the CC's complaints about the turret bug. But WG once again ignores it. Once again, create a problem and sell the solution. Not sure if you remember when WG tried selling camos that buffed your HE and AP shells, but the only reason they took it down was because they were very much pressured.
2000 DMG, are these the ap shells with the most damage in tier 8? Great video, interesting ship. Interessanterweise ist der Switch zwischen Auto und Manual aim bei mir auf dem Smartphone so unglaublich ätzend, dass ich das kaum machen kann. Der Zoom Unterschied ist brutal. 😅😅 Das ship ist literally nicht mehr richtig anvisierbar. Ich Versuche daher auf Distanz mit dem Auto aim zu variieren.
Geht mir auch so. Ich habe es mal für eine Weile versucht, um zu sehen, ob ich mich daran gewöhnen kann, aber ich glaube, ich mache das in Zukunft nur noch auf kurze Distanz. Borodino hat ein ähnliches Problem wie z.B. Slava, die Geschütze sind zu genau, und lock-on kann die Geschosse in Richtung der Seitenpanzerung ziehen, wo sie dann nicht unbedingt durchschlagen. Aber wenn ich gar nicht treffe, ist es auch nicht besser :)
Legendary commander that suits to the ship's skills is Sergey Gorshkov. The radar and DFAA charges can added 1 more. Makarov can be used but radar is a rare skill and useful.

This ship is like if Champagne and Richelieu had a Daughter while vacationing in Russia with a lot of Vodka in between....
That... is a picture I'm not going to get out of my brain soon...
@@FunandGameswithTerry As an Azur Lane fan.....That's not an issue at all hahahaha

Very much so. Unless I'm in a German ship.

I thought this thing was going to be another Smolensk Hunter, until I saw it was at tier 8
Doesn't hit quite as hard as Slava, the shells can be a bit floaty, but at mid range, where I like to play anyway, she can punch.
@@FunandGameswithTerry that’s a sort of what I meant by “Smolensk Hunter”

Unfortunately,yes it is a sonar crate
Why WG, WHYYYYYYY
Maybe in the shipyard one day... I won't be gambling on my personal, I already got Richie at T8 :)
@@FunandGameswithTerry Same I already got the Richelieu, and that thing has never failed to be good.
This ship looks fun I can’t wait to play it
Lol, that Akatsuki really is a hero😂
Not often that a DD takes a torp for me...
Really nicely explained men
Good video
Wg nowadays making good ships i think lol
“And fortunately it is Gneisenau”……….
I have a feeling I'm going to like the Borodino. Probably a lot more than Napoleon. 😉😉😉
I see what you did there =P
@@part.time.grandmaster I was wondering if someone would notice. 👍👊
@@yeska62 History nerds unite!
@@part.time.grandmaster LOL 🤝👏
Lol 81 HP, honestly after surviving a battle with 1 I'd take anything😂
81 is 80 more than needed. With 1, well, that's cutting it as close as it gets.
Would you say this is better than Richie?
That's a hard call, actually. I like Richie for the manoeuvrability, which gives her rush capability if there's a suitable situation, but this one sure has a good amount of utility. Richie has the better AA, but overall, I'd play either tbh.

@@FunandGameswithTerry I wish you and your family have a very happy vacation together!
Personally I think WG logic with ship balancing is ridiculous
Yea their idea of balance and our idea of balance is very different lol
@@COMMANDER-wm9vr i really wish they prioritize the bugs that currently exist instead of just introducing new ships
@@COMMANDER-wm9vr I'm pretty sure a lot cc have made complaints about it but them ignoring it really bamboozled me
