Wait a minute, that photo looks as if the bow (or stern, I cant tell from the odd angle.) was never fitted. I cannot think a good reason to launch a ship without that.

There are just so many odd choices regarding this ship.

if you intend to use a hull it for it’s original purpose, sure
but the project was axed and it was decided the (unfinished) hull made for a nice target, so all it needed to do was not sink (prematurely)
fitting a bow/stern would have been a bit pointless, like a wig on a crash-test dummy

another paperwaffe that was never completed
incredible

Another fantasy Russian ship, no doubt with vastly inflated stats again. Just what the game needs.

Yamato 2199 refit when? Or just give her her actual armour… or any armour… She is still missing 993 water tight compartments, hundreds of bilge pumps, 2 to 3 layers of armoured decks, shell rooms are at least one deck to high and her side armour is far too flat

Including projects and unfinished buildings is the condition for the Soviet naval tech tree to exist.

Sorry, the boat in question is russian. Only russians get to have any fun at top tier in their invincible fantasy boats.

Yeah… Not looking forward to this being 5.7.

wdym? 11mm armor on some areas under the frontal barbettes in the main armor belt should be enough no? otherwise it might actually not explode when angeld away from the soyuz at 16 km by its sap shells?

now, if the japanes would have stopped building it when they had it 20% finished and … oh well its still a japanese ship and not russian, no sorry then we cant do anything for it, not even fix some of these bugs after half a year. just play russia i guess

ima just gonna leave this here

How much op soviet paperships do we possibly have to bear?

Impressive ship :) Impressive armament and design. Wow all these 45mm mounts. Fourty 25mm guns. And yes, see these triple turrets with high velocity guns, granting battleship firepower. Yes, yes. Even a convincing naval carreer as target ship, as construction was aborted.

Please Gajin, stop this. Your text is misleading. Its a total fantasy boat once again. A boxy metal hulk existed, barely afloat. Thats all.

It was launched after death of Stalin to be used as a target for new anti-ship weapons (for example, Styx)

All of them
