Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• War Thunder's first super dreadnought; Armed with 2 by 6, 14 inch cannons.
  • Can all be fired broadside
• Armour value is overall 305 mm to 203 mm.
• 20 x 140 mm (5.5 inch) secondary cannons
  • 3 seconds reload per gun on Ace crew
  • Great solution for anything lighter than a cruiser
• Amazing shell choice
  • HE: 68 kg of TNT equivalent which can decimate anything lighter than a BB's with a single volley
    • Best to be only used on CL's & CA's
  • APC: 620 mm of penetration (range of 1000 m), being the highest penetration value among BBs
    • Best to be only used on other BB's

Cons:

• Poor AA; six single Lewis machine guns (7.7 mm)
• According to some players, X-ray configuration of "B" turrets ammo rack appears to be above the waterline, making it easy to ammo racked.

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
