General info
Survivability and armour
As the first battleship in the game with World War II refit, the Parizhskaya Kommuna has an exceptional survivability compared to other World War I dreadnoughts. While most of Parizhskaya Kommuna's armour profile remains the same from her sister ship, the Poltava, there are several key changes. Most prominent changes is that her main turret's roof is doubled in thickness (from 76 mm to 152 mm) which made it much harder to disable. The citadel deck armour is also increased up to 76 mm. This increased protection is offset by the change of its fuel from coal to oil, which eliminates the protection from the coal bunkers and made it slightly worse at taking hit below the belt.
Also, the Parizhskaya Kommuna is currently the ship with the second highest crew count in the game (1,730). This allows her to tank more hits than any other dreadnoughts before going down.
Mobility
As expected from a battleship, the Parizhskaya Kommuna is a slow ship. Although its displacement is increased by a whooping 7,500 tons from its predecessor, the overall agility of the Parizhskaya Kommuna is decreased only a bit thanks to more efficient oil-powered engines.
