    Official evaluation

    - First Impression (5/5):

    The ship looks absolutely magnificent. The immaculate detail work immediately stands out. The ship handles well on the ocean mod an the weaponry is very easy to use


    - Design/Accuracy (15/15):

    I didn't find any notable inaccuracies compared to the real ship.


    - Details (14/15):

    The ship is extremely well detailed, down to the inclusion of a fully built bow crest as well as full rigging. It even hase casemate doors that can open and close. The fuselage art naval flag on the stern was beautifully made as well.
    The only thing I missed was the addition of railings.


    - Features (18/20):

    The build has all weaponry of the vessel being usable, including all calibers of guns as well as the torpedo tubes. The guns are auto-aimed and very accurate. I also liked that they get disabled when the target is out of their firing arc.
    I really liked the added feature of some of the casemate guns being retractable, with the bow mounted ones even having doors that close on them
    There is also a small bridge interior with the steering wheel as well as an open platform with the EOT. Unfortunately, neither are usable but they are nice details.


    - Build Quality (10/10):

    The build is clearly made with very high effort, the hull is perfectly smooth and well built. The builer used tons of creative, part saving solutions, I was amazed at how genius some of them were.


    - Performance (20/20):

    The ship handles very well, even on the ocean mod. The use of custom propellers and rudder based steering was very appreciated. The handling of the ship feels realistic (with an accurate maximum speed) but still fun to use.
    The auto-aimed weaponry is very easy to use and does the job perfectly.


    - Description and Information (15/15):

    The description is just perfect. The length of it great, it features a lot of information but not too much to become boring. Thereare also a lot of images, including diagrams of the firing arcs, as well as a custom artwork of the ship being presented as a shipgirl


    Additional Points (-0, +3):

    +3 for the effort of building a Borodino-class from scratch just for the sake of a screenshot in the distance

    im mot gonna say that the concept art was a low quality; if that's low quality then my "best" drawings would be shit-tier.

    anyways, the build is good, except my phones now able to fry a fish.

    @RichardScepton
    Sincere apologies for the late reply.
    I will tag you in an unlisted build since the codes don't fit in the comments and get cut. Sorry.

    What types of FT codes did you use to prevent guns from coming online until the targets are within their firing arc, by the way? I used predominantly the likes of (TargetHeading - Heading > 225 | TargetHeading - Heading < 135) for the most part, but I'd like to see how you handled it

    My pc can't handle 8k+ part performance cost, so I can't really reverse-engineer it myself, sorry
