There better be a new Duck or another foreign BB/CV in there or this Event looks like a massive wash. Not a Pre-Dreadnought, she is a WWI dreadnought and were later modernized just like Kongo.

Sevastopol (her sister) was modernized enough to be used as a USN premium BB in NavyFIELD, you know. Whoops, my bad. Still, I'm skeptical she'll be anything other the BB equivalent of Aquila: a pure Trophy Ship. To be worthwhile she'd have to come with a second remodel when introduced (seems unlikely), or have stats equal to the Kongou K2s at Kai (gross power-creep).

It just seems like a waste to have an obscure, outdated BB when there are still well-known modern ships like Tirpitz, the King George V-class, or...basically any USN FBB that could be implemented instead. Well we have Warspite, who boasts high fuel and ammo efficiency.

The biggest problem of Gangut-class is that they use 12-inch guns, which means even Kongo's 14-inchers may have overweight penalties when put on them.
