Borodino-class BB's

[Scaffold]

While looking throught the unit charts for WW1 and Tsushima I got a question.
It is about two Borodino-class BB's of the WW1. There were five pre-dreads of the Borodino class, four of them figthing in Tsushima battle, three sunk and one captured. Only one of them served at Baltic. There were Izmail-class battlecruisers, one of them also named Borodino, all four of them broken up incomplete. What exactly did you mean? Two Borodino-class BB's by the time of WW1 do not match any of the above.

Scaffold,

While it is true that only one of the class was in service during the WW1 period each Navy had a certain number of slots for each type for printing the ship data cards and we left in an extra Borodino class as a "what-if" for the Soviet Navy. The one item that is indeed incorrect on the cards are the torpedo tubes -- they were removed after Tsushima. So those should be removed/ignored.

Thanks.

So I assume WW1 Borodino being pre-dread battleship. Good! Izmail-class BC's are sometimes referred to as Borodino-class, that's why I asked.
The only question that remains is why does it have different main battery power raitings for the Tsushima and WW1 eras? Did you mean the increase in the power of projectives over the years?

The main guns were given an increase in max elevation to 30 degrees and used improved shell designs, the mounts had better shell handling which gave a higher ROF, and the class had improved fire contol fitted -- effectively giving an overall significant improvement in firepower.
