As a result, the only reason why the USSR cannot build a Project 23 battleship is Germany
doesn’t mean anything because at the end of the day Soyuz never complete and never be functional ship no matter what reason is
those spec that Gaijin put in the game is just spec from paper that go without test something that even you don’t know Soyuz even capable of
if anything, it sounds unfair to me that put the real ship with proper document against fantasy untested spec ship that straight out from paper.
We discussed the possibility of the USSR building this battleship by 1945, so this is important.
but problem around here is Soyuz’s spec itself which is highly doubt
even soviet somehow manage to magically complete it nobody know that it can really outperform Iowa and Yamato in every category like in the game even Yamato itself have flaw that its AA capability isn’t that good which proved to be problem irl where does Soyuz’s spec? i highly doubt that soviet could somehow magically build ship without any flaw when even Japan has its own flaw.
not even 20% of that ship was built. Its statistics are pure lies and falsification
this is all of the Soyuz that was built
heres a german photo from 1942
It was scrapped in 1948 because they literally couldnt finish it

You could at least look for photos 1941, otherwise 1 photo is from 1940
This is 20% of the battleship Pr-23 Sovetsky Soyuz.
Readiness of the Project 23 Battleship Soviet Ukraine (7%)
And in the end, the main reason for the halt in construction was the Third Reich, and after 1945, battleships became useless.

absolutley battle ready that thing is.
Gaijin totally got a good base to model off of with half a completed hull

Well, by 1945, without external intervention, it could have been ready. (I repeat, we are talking about the USSR’s capabilities to build such ships, and not about whether the ship is ready or not)

and thats the other problem, the armour belts currently modeled on the Soyuz were beyond the soviets ability to produce.

There are 4 years to solve this problem. (In 1941, the modernization of many production facilities was supposed to be completed)

Yet did they, the answer is, no

So, they might have been able to improve their manufactorer capbilities to maybe produce thicker belt armour but there is 0 evidence that they would have actually been able to achieve and so for now Soyuz has totally hypothetical armour that outperforms everything else in the game by a significant margin
Given the state of HMS Royal Sovereign, its pretty clear the navy wasnt getting much of an investment

Was it ever done after any of this, again, no
After 1945, battleships became useless.
And have FCS that somehow better than Iowa even Iowa is the most advanced battleship during it time do some people believe Soviet is capable making battleship without flaw like that?
I highly doubt that.
So once again, was anything ever considered to manufacture this magical armor, by the logic you provided the answer is,again, no
Iowas advanced FCS came from a refit. the 1943? 1944? fit we have in game wouldnt be all that much further ahead of most.
But Vanguard… has the same FCS as post-WW1 battlecruisers is just stupid

The thickest layer of armor was to be produced after the modernization of production in 1941.
Was that modernissation ever actually done, if you say the germans attacked the answer is, yet again, no
