@@WorldofWarshipsOfficialChannel This failure of a ship type by the Soviet Navy had virtually no impact whatsoever on history or the design of future battleships since the Soviets were incapable of making a structurally sound ship that could contend with other ships already in service. I understand you are a Russian company and want to have pride in your history, but fabricating what you wish this battleship would have been through the tint of rose colored glasses is just silly.

​ @Sir Daylight Replying to both your comments. Joining the war 11 months before the end? Can you explain what you're talking about. "To supply that many troops on the eastern front, you needed the greatest industry in the world" isn't a statement supported by any factual basis you've presented. Finally, and most importantly, there's more to industrial output then just the obvious military arms used in land warfare (small arms, tank, artillery, etc...). Looking at specific sets of military products limited to what the USSR had to prioritize doesn't give an accurate comparison of industrial ability when comparing with the US. Who was also building a navy, merchant marine, strategic bombing force, and more. The 3 areas I specifically just mentioned, the USSR did virtually nothing in. In short comparing tanks to tanks doesn't give an accurate representation of industrial ability, just how much industrial strength was supplied to a specific product. Also there's no need to be such an ass in your reply.

@@RampantFury925 and during the Cold War, NATO accounted for them. Just in the interwar era, the Soviets didn't have any serious naval capacities and no means of procurring anything useful anytime soon. This whole video, while admitting that the plans were a bit optimistic glances over glaring issues. For example comparing the ship with contemporaries, Yamato was left right out, because it was obviously way more powerful, and in comparing to Iowa, they first try to point out that in the theatres these ships mostly would've served in, the Baltic and Arctic Seas, visibility limited practical engagement ranges, then they go and brag how Sovietsky Soyuz outranged the Iowa. Or how we know from the Italians with their 381 mm guns that have similar range that most of that range is never going to be useful because you won't hit anything really. They also don't mention what 830 m/s meant in terms of barrel wear and how for example H-39s German twin turrets may be fewer, but had a higher RoF. Nor did they touch on how Sovietsky Soyuz seemingly needed engine power rivalled only by the Iowa-class, to propel their ship to a staggering 28 knots. Lion and Yamato got comparable speeds on vastly less engine power, Iowa actually achieves cruiser-like speeds. Thankfully ingame the ships are pretty ok, if we ignore the Pobeda...

[@OslikusPrime]

@@TheKnownPlayer Correction, ONE such gun barrel per ENTIRE SSSR.

[@pioneer_1148]

17:35 Ok so there are some pretty massive issues with the information that you present, 1 The information presented is what is given in the design, which is usually quite optimistic - particularly for new naval powers who's designers don't have much experience, whereas the Iowa was actually built and while the Lion wasn't built it was going to be built by a power which had significant experience in naval design and therefore likely would have gotten closer to its design specs than seen here. For much the same reasons ships built by new naval powers tend to have at least some major flaws in their design 2 High velocity guns were not necessarily an advantage at this time as high velocity weapons tended to be highly inaccurate, you also completely ignored shell design (which can have a massive effect on the penetration of shells) and their effectiveness, furthermore the fire control systems of the US and UK would likely have been significantly superior to what the soviets designed as the UK and US had more experience and technical expertise. (In particularly UK shells of the period were excellent with significantly greater explosive payloads than their counterparts meaning that shells did more damage per hit) 3 While the thickness of armour on US and UK battleships would have been inferior the naval armour technology of the US and in particular UK and Germany was significantly superior to that of the USSR so the armour advantage would have been far less significant than the numbers suggest. Additionally the distributed armour scheme of the ships (while not a crippling weakness) was a flaw and would have resulted in hits which on other battleships would have over-penetrated (doing relatively minimal damage) detonating in the ship. 4 The range advantage is utterly meaningless US fire control at the end of world war 2 was massively superior to the USSR's and even then the US concluded that any engagement at distances over around 30,000 yards were utterly pointless because you wouldn't hit anything Overall even with the best possible luck the Sovetsky Soyuz would not have been anywhere near as good as this line up suggests, and it would likely have been inferior to the designs of other nations due to design flaws and inefficiencies caused by lack of experience of their designers (you can have designers who are as skilled and work as hard as you like but if they don't have experience they are going to make mistakes) Therefore it is highly misleading to present this information without any of this context as it makes a ship which would likely have been middling or poor sound fantastic

It created big impact on Soviet Union. There was no such ships in USSR before, because you know, USSR didn't have colonies that she needed to protect. However, It caused big impact on industry. I understand that maybe you want all videos about US Navy, but man, there are other countries that also wanted to build something like that. Not to mention that USSR had bad industry as heritage from Tsarist Russian Empire. You must understand feelings of people different countries too and their history. It was a big advance for a whole country. In order to build something like that, you must, for example, build big crane and etc., basically create new industrial sector from zero. In just 10-15 years. In country that has a lot more problems to fix. But still, they started to create them (its guns, for example are real and stationed in russian weapon test field). Yet again, its a legend machine, USSR superweapon like german Tirpitz or Bismarck. Of course, its never saw combat thanks to german Invasion.

[@Arltratlo]

Warspite did what?? Scharnhorst scored a hit at a range of 24,100 m (26,400 yd) Warspite achieved one of the longest range gunnery hits from a moving ship to a moving target in history, hitting Giulio Cesare at a range of approximately 24 km (26,000 yd), your Brit trash bin was beaten by German quality by 400 yards...lol

[@riyoriyote]

@@Arltratlo The 26k yards for Warspite is an approximation, so you can't compare it as if it's an exact value. They're generally considered to have achieved about the same distance. Considering Warspite was a WW1 ship, bragging about a German ship 24 years younger only just managing roughly the same is pretty lame. Imagine a ~25 year old sprinter bragging that he managed to just match his beaten up, 50 year old dad in a race all due to his superior 'quality'. It makes the Dad sound impressive, not the kid.

Welcome to Soviet Battleship Building 101 Where you build your questionable TDS backwards, only surface harden armor belts to a point they probably behave more like predread composite ones, build entire sections of structure in the wrong order then have to rebuild them because the rivets were bad, and all this time you're still not sure if the guns work yet.

i think they mean 'naval legend' as things like the G, H class of ships, Montana, A-150, lion, UP 41 etc. those ships are Naval legends because of What ifs and how awesome they might have been amongst the fanbase of naval warships and so-forth. so in they're own way they are a legend. so if they are implementing these types of ships, maybe well even get the Churchill heavy cruiser or the cockatoo heavy cruiser (please implement this!)

[@Hierachy]

Matt Faulk I don’t think you understand what I’m saying, what I’m saying is the fact that the design exist has had many people interested in these types of ships, Like Montana never existed and people whom are interested in American battleship design will always go ‘I wonder what it would have looked like in reality and not a tacky model from the 1940’s’ same goes for the sovyetsky Soyuz,

[@Ragnarock227]

"Soyuz powered up to flank speed, and promptly stripped her turbines faster then a French Destroyer. After reaching a fire control solution against the German Pre-Dreadnought, she fired her guns, the liners flying out of the barrels along with the shells in a spread so wide even Richelieu could fit a salvo inside it. Finally, the first 283mm shell of the S-H's return fire impacted the armor belt, which promptly fell off. The impact caused all of the ships faulty rivets to pop out, and she promptly fell apart under her own weight and sank."

Tthe South Dakota class 4 ships South Dakota, Massachusetts, Alabama and Indiana. The Iowa class Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri and Wisconsin. If you claim that the Soviet union was the worlds biggest industrial power that is a staement that does not quite correspond with real facts. In the same time US undustry armed all the western allies with tanks, airplanes, halftracks, trucks etc and in the same time built the fast carrier task forces: four carriers, six to eight support vessels and not less than 18 destroyers, preferably 24. And at the same time the US industry could supply the homefront with various consumer goods, something the Soviet industry never could.
