It feel like driving a Maus and it also have a very slow reloading rate and it dosen’t have anti air like it brothers. It very slow but it indeed have VERY good armor however it always get uptiered then it will die because of Fire… it taking very long just to put out the fire for some reason.
I need help please.
unlock AP and SAP rounds.
AP is awesome when facing 7.3 and other battleships, and while being on top of food chain those saps slaps like a grandad on dad with an belt.
Expert crew is a must , and firefighting mod is on priority list you really like to blow quite easily when catching fire.
long reload so learn to aim :D
Edit*
After poltava, go straight on kommuna, it’s so much better compared to mariya.

What he said :)
And pretty much for all BB’s firefighting is a must, and IMO 2nd most important is probably improved pumps ASAP.
With 12 relatively fast reloading (you’ll find that soon enough!!) 12" guns this thing is a beast when it is top or 2nd top BR.

Never had so much of an issue of drowning on soviet battleships/Battlecruiser but that fire takes you out in no time :D
Feels like they are filled with wood and magnesium :D
But this event makes it quite a pain to play 6.3 and facing scarnhorsts and khronstads contiously. Trust me those salvos sinks poltavas like nothing :D
Interesting - I will take de-watering over firefighting every time unless the fire is in the ammunition
Oh yes - in uptiers they are a prime target - light armour and ammo spread all along them - I always go for them first :)
Yeah watering is problem on lighter ships, not so much on battleships, but fire is biggest enemy on soviet battleships and cruiser…
The fire just get bigger and bigger and your crew get BBQ
Also how to defend your self fromm aircraft as it dosen’t have Anti air
You dont.
Just hope planes dont aim you or stay relatively close to teammates who has AA
You can’t - you can dodge a bit, but best to stay reasonably close to other ships that do have AAA.
