U.S.S.R. Battleship Commander
U.S.S.R.BattleshipHistoricalMain Battery
Overview

Soviet battleship commander for close-range fighting. Mad Dog adds main battery damage for shells that travel less than 11 km, and Concentrated Fire builds AP damage with repeated hits on the same target. His unique The Long Voyage makes the Repair Party last longer, return sooner and restore more citadel damage, at a slower heal rate. Test of Endurance adds a charge to every consumable, welcome with the limited Damage Control charges most Soviet battleships carry.

Commander Bio

Zinovy Rozhestvensky (1848–1909) was an admiral of the Russian Imperial Navy whose name remains synonymous with the Russo-Japanese War. He commanded the Second Pacific Squadron on its audacious voyage around the world to relieve Port Arthur, culminating in the catastrophic Battle of Tsushima in 1905. Though his overwhelming defeat reshaped Russian naval power, Rozhestvensky remained a defining figure whose legacy influenced great power naval strategy for decades.
