She also possesses a 100 mm strip of armor along the waterline of her bow. The already-fast main turret traverse can be improved even more with a special Commander such as Alexander Ovechkin.Īs for protection, Lenin has the normal 32 mm of plating, but a fairly well-armored midsection 50 mm upper belt and a 45 mm deck. She does, however, possess a 360° second turret and very fast turret rotation speed, also typical of Russian battleships. Furthermore, her turret faces are rather un-angled and fairly thin, so receiving incapacitations to them is a common occurrence. Lenin pays for her increased close-range accuracy by having the longest reload time of all Tier VIII battleships, and by having a fairly short maximum firing range. Combined with the unique dispersion formula for Russian battleships, the tightness of the shell groupings can be truly frightening to see especially so if on the receiving end.

Lenin comes armed with nine 406 mm guns, mounted in three turrets, all of which are mounted close together on the bow of the ship. Captains familiar with either of the other two should find Lenin to be a similar experience. Unlike the French battleships that are equipped with two quadruple forward turrets, Lenin nicely fills the tier gap between the British Nelson and Japanese Izumo, and the Russian variant of this unique design shares many of the same characteristics, flaws, and playstyles of the other two vessels. Lenin is the the first Tier VIII Premium Russian battleship to be introduced into Word of Warships, and the sixth all-guns-forward battleship in the game.
