She had a heck of a service record. Have to admire their willingness to keep fighting no matter how battle damaged their ship had become. There is very little published about the service histories of Russian ships as compared to the numerous publications here in the west. Nice to see some history coming out. Hope to see some RN ships soon =^^=
I love learning about the Russian navy, it gets so little spotlight and credit compared to the other navies. Respect for a ship that did its job of protecting Leningrad from the Germans.
Zack Tyler Its not my problem that you guys are the onlyones refusing to use the metric system wich is used by us, litterally the rest of the world. 1 kilometer = 1000 meter, 1 meter = 100 centimeter, 1 centimeter is 10 millimeter,... Can you do the same just as easily for converting a foot into inches or yards? Nope.
Bit of an inaccuracy there ''the ship was fighting in world war 2 from day 1'' and stipulating she was defending ports against German air raids. Didn't Russia fight with Germany during the outbreak of world war 2 until Germany made the mistake of attacking Russia?
Well, for the Soviet Union (and it seems that for today's Russian Federation, too), their version of WW2 (the Great Patriotic War) started in 1941, with the period from 1939 to 1941 (the Molotov-Ribbentropp pact, the anexation of baltic states and eastern half of Poland and the Winter War never happened or should be forgotten as "insignificant" in their version of events... So, yeah, the line should have been "the ship was fighting since the day one of Operation Barbarossa/the german attack on Soviet Union". (and before anyone starts that "others have their inacurate versions of history, too"... yep, they have, but that is besides the point here)
+SPARTAN Ravindra-919 Lightly armored for a BB. I've heard these described as battle cruisers (the armor tends to support this view) and the following class (BORODINO) being the true dreadnought class warships. The triple-gun turret design can be traced to the DANTE of the Italian navy. The Austrians also used a triple-gun turret. Depending upon the model that WoW would model, they would be an interesting addition. I can see them functioning very well with other warships of their vintage/period and not having to fight off swarms of futuristic torpedo bombers.
I think there are not going to be any 1:42 videos about other navies, this is the russian naval museum, the collection is most likely to be only about russian ships.
Is this the precursor class to the Imperator Nikolai, the Tier IV Premium Battleship for the Russians in game? I really like that ship in game, its great!
Yeah I noticed the only differences between the models were the central gun placements, and some minor super structure changes and maybe up freeboard and deck changes. Visual Profile wise, powerplant and armour could be vastly different.
+Warner Moczulski Same powerplant but Nikolai is longer, heavier and has powerplant. Ganguts though gets modernized upgrades for better AA and gun range.
Why 1:42 scale? Why not 1:32 (imp), 1:35 (metric), 1:48 (1/4")or 1:50 (metric) scale? These are common scale modelling standards be it imperial or metric standards. What standards reference is 1:42? I am stumped as a technical scale modeler.
I don't remember exactly(I visited this museum 5 months ago, but even with this fact I can't remember everything). But, I can say that only Petropavlovsk/Marat showed in Central Navy Museum(it means models of Poltava/Mikhail Frunze, Gangut/Oktyabrskaya Revolutsia and Sevastopol/Parizhskaya Kommuna in 1/42 wasn't built)
+DtWolfwood Nikolay was a similar design to Petropavlovsk. 3 dreadnoughts of similar design have been built for the Black Sea Fleet, was supposed to be a 4th one, to complete the division. It was to have better armor and secondary artillery but overall similar to Baltic dreadnoughts. Started construction in 1916, it was never completed and later scrapped by the Soviets.
While I enjoy the series, a greater variety of nations would be enjoyed. If my memory serves me correctly, there have only been Russian/USSR ships so far. Certainly there are other navies that fielded interesting ships.
+Zachary Clark For other nations they have the Naval Legends series. This 1:42 Scale series is more about the ships that can be found in the Central Naval Musem at St.Petersburg.
+zam023 That makes sense. But it would still be great and interesting if they found ways to include other nations from time to time, since they seem to be focusing on this series now rather than Naval Legends.
Zachary Clark Thats true. They could try to do content from other naval museums that have 1:42 scale models. Btw, isn't that museum just amazing. All that huge models. I want to visit it one day.
+zam023 Certainly interesting. What interests me the most are the stories. Those are our history. Not just the Russian peoples' history, but ours as a collective whole. It shaped Russia, which in turn shaped the world. Every event, no matter how small, no matter how large, shaped us, our history, and brought us to this point in time and space, for better or worse. That's why the stories interest me so much more.
Zachary Clark Interesting that you said that. Last night I watched a documentary on Pearl Habour on the History channel. They said something along the lines that you did just now, about how events around the world shaped the world, even when it happens half way across the globe. They pointed out how if Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbour when they did, Britain would have fallen to the Nazi sooner or later because America wouldn't have entered the war.
Well, this will be a very simplified version of events: From the start of WW1 up until November of 1917, Russian Empire were part of the so called Entente Powers, and thus allied with British and French (and when the USA joined, with America as well), then the Germans helped to get Lenin from Switzerland to Russia. Lenin and Bolsheviks (the Red Russians, Red Army, or the Reds for short) started their coup/revolution (and Russian Civil War with it), executed the tsar and his family (although those were basically dethroned a few months earlier during a different coup/revolution), and signed a ceasefire with Germany and Austria-Hungary, thus shutting the eastern front of WW1. But even then the German Empire wasn't able to win, and when WW1 ended, the victorious powers chose to deal with the Reds (for various reasons, the addictivity and toxicity of Reds' ideology one of those reasons, and the fact that Lenin wanted to eventually spread his version of communism to the whole world by any means necessary didn't help the Reds' international popularity either). Thus Britain backed the so called White Russians (the Whites, remnants of the old Russian government loyalists and/or tsarists) in the Russian Civil War. That's how british warships got into conflict with the Russians. Also, during this time, a few new countries broke from the collapsing Russian Empire. And to continue the history lesson: After the Civil War ended in 1921 with the Reds victorious, Russia, now renamed to the Union of Soviet's Socialist Republic (or to the Soviet Union for short) was in isolation imposed by most of the international community (with some soviet-backed coups, communist uprisings and from-moscow-directed communist parties spreading through Europe), but it found an unlikely partner. Germany, now a republic (the Weimar Republic or the German Republic) instead of an empire, wasn't overly happy with the Treaty of Versailles and all restrictions that came with it, and so made (at that time) a secret deal with Soviets to overcome those restrictions (among other things, that's why some pre-1933 restricted german weapons were tested in the USSR... tanks, mostly), giving Germany the know-how and ability to design and to a degree produce restricted stuff while the Soviet Union was able to get a very close look at everything tested. Meanwhile, Lenin died, replaced by others, although the real power after Lenin's death was held by Stalin. Later, in the late 1920's the isolation softened a bit and other countries started dealing with the USSR. Then the economic crisis and the Great Depression of 1929 hit, and in 1933 in Germany, Hiler got to power. AFAIK that changed the cooperation between USSR and Germany (as Hitler was no fan of Stalin), although not entirely (and interestingly enough, some of the infamous aspects of the new German Reich were inspired if not outright copied from Soviet ones). Nonetheless, in 1939, just before the outbreak of WW2, Hitler and Stalin seemed to agree upon a vision of an european future, divided between the Reich and the Soviet Union, and thus the pact Molotov-Ribbentrop was born, with it's secret ammendments bringing this vision to reality, although both parties most likely viewed this as a temporary solution and would quite possibly attempt to betray each other after a few years. Which they did, in the end, as in summer 1941, Germany invaded the Sovier Union (though one might argue that the invasion might have been somewhat forced and premature, as soviet behaviour during 1939-1941 is a bit unclear, and some of their actions might hint at a possibility of a soviet invasion forces being gathered). And thus Soviet Union allied itself with Britain and later, after Pearl Harbor, with Americans, too. An uneasy alliance that lasted for four years.
yay.... more russian ships...... i assume im going to be chased away if i ask for the royal navy. kinda pisses me off that they actually acnowledge the royal navy's existance.
TheWallis67 Um. Germany called Canadian Troops "Stormtroopers in WW1" And in WW2 Britian depended on Canadian trans atlantic trips for supplies. So I dont know what you are talking about, do some research before you talk. Alot of Canadian and Australian lives were lost helping the British during WW2.
+TROLL FISCH NETWORKS (TH) Russian company too, if I'm not mistaken. If WG is American, we will get a whole history on American naval ships and if it was British, we would get a history on British ships. I don't really mind, I love learning about naval ships no matter what nation.
+Jonathan Burt yeah and because the naval museam in russia where this is filmed has a shit ton of boats with lots of stories. personally as long as they keep the history coming.
I would love to visit that naval museum. I could spent a whole day just looking at all the gigantic scale models.
One day won't be enough for sure! I usually get my neck aching after just several hours spent in the first hall - and there's seven more...

Sunken and half-destroyed ship used as a training vessel. Well, that explains a lot.
+Clay Ronso well it only sunk low enough to where the was 10 feet of the thing still sticking out of the water lol.
Stupid fuckhead, it was repaired
Detonation eh? Well at least you got some flags for it. gg wp
1:25 the hosts zipper is down.
Why were you staring at his crotch?
Inches and feet say nothing to me and the rest of the world who isnt american... METRIC SYSTEM ALL THE WAY
+Marc L. similarly, meters and kilometers say nothing to us... deal with it.
+Zack Tyler the compromise would be to indicate metric system in parentheses, for instance. That's gonna be a deal.
Zack Tyler Its not my problem that you guys are the onlyones refusing to use the metric system wich is used by us, litterally the rest of the world.
1 kilometer = 1000 meter, 1 meter = 100 centimeter, 1 centimeter is 10 millimeter,... Can you do the same just as easily for converting a foot into inches or yards? Nope.

Wow this guy isn't elitist or anything lol
I love these history vids! Keep them coming War-gaming.
excellent history lesson wargaming-plz keep these historical vids coming

Darn nice model. Let us hear about the model construction.
Very nice video. Thanks
These ships are awesome. They'd be better if they were in game.
They'll probably be as another premium.

This was amazing
That is a fucking cool museum
Okay, THAT was a cool history!
Can't wait to play that monster.
I liked the history lesson, would be nice to get more ^^
Expect to see this BB on tier IV with the superstructure as an upgrade and also expect to see the rest of the tree with paper BBs. I still ship this
Please do a video on the famous USS Missouri BB-63
yay my fav pbb from navyfield, cept I can't trick her out with pwnege 3/70 duel aa.
I think there are not going to be any 1:42 videos about other navies, this is the russian naval museum, the collection is most likely to be only about russian ships.
Can you make a video about RHN Averof please? Thnaks for your time.
In future can you also put metric measurements down even if its in brackets. Its just that feet and inches don't mean anything to me
Pleas WoWS, Add Soviet Battleship Line In 2016, In Winter, Or 2017 In Summer, Along With Royal Navy Battleship Line and German Destroyer Line
Is this the precursor class to the Imperator Nikolai, the Tier IV Premium Battleship for the Russians in game? I really like that ship in game, its great!
precursor yes and very similar. Has the same turrets and guns, firepower is identical. In the thirties had a superstructure refit like a pagoda.
Yeah I noticed the only differences between the models were the central gun placements, and some minor super structure changes and maybe up freeboard and deck changes. Visual Profile wise, powerplant and armour could be vastly different.
+Warner Moczulski Same powerplant but Nikolai is longer, heavier and has powerplant. Ganguts though gets modernized upgrades for better AA and gun range.
+Chris Robato cool. Thanks
wow！it's the new russia CA
wow , hopefully not premium in the game, I have to play this heroic ship!
inches great metric system plz
So when should we expect some Russian bb other than the lone premium one?
Why 1:42 scale? Why not 1:32 (imp), 1:35 (metric), 1:48 (1/4")or 1:50 (metric) scale? These are common scale modelling standards be it imperial or metric standards. What standards reference is 1:42? I am stumped as a technical scale modeler.
*shrug* imperial I think. They're all custom jobs for the museum I think.
A non paper ship russian ship
Awesome!
Isn't there also Frunze, Gangut, Oktyabrskaya Revolutsia and Sevastopol?
I don't remember exactly(I visited this museum 5 months ago, but even with this fact I can't remember everything). But, I can say that only Petropavlovsk/Marat showed in Central Navy Museum(it means models of Poltava/Mikhail Frunze, Gangut/Oktyabrskaya Revolutsia and Sevastopol/Parizhskaya Kommuna in 1/42 wasn't built)
I have this ship(imperator Nikolai 1)
metric system plz
This should be the TX CA soviet line. Not the WG imagination of petrapavlosk lol
So the Imperator Nikolai I yall sold is actually the Petropavlovsk?
Maybe!
+DtWolfwood No... the Imperator Nikolai was a different class, and was scrapped in 1927...
+DtWolfwood Nikolay was a similar design to Petropavlovsk. 3 dreadnoughts of similar design have been built for the Black Sea Fleet, was supposed to be a 4th one, to complete the division.

+UNprofessional Reviews no research just wiki showed the Nikolai with 3 turrets but I'll take your word for it
+DtWolfwood no, the nikolai was different class. the last battleship built by the russians.
So tier 4 Russian BB?
Niet comrade, Tier 1
xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa.......
what is the music used at 4:20?
Looks like imperator Nikolai 1 tier V bb
