A battleship of an unusual design, she was made in compliance of contractual limitations. She was armed with 406 mm main battery, concentrated in the three turrets afore. The first battleship of the Royal Navy whose armour was in line with the “all or nothing” scheme.
Introduction
Subject to both the large caliber and high air drag Nelson's 406mm guns perform even worse than KGV's 14 inch guns when firing beyond 15km.
Nelson's floatplane catapult was removed in the previous update, but she regained the British-CL-alike Repair Party.

Why the heck does this ship have UK CL heal!?!?! Dont tell me its the 2% health per sec one…
Also its a free xp prem so I will never get it…
Because it has 25mm bow and bottom armor which would simply be overmatched by all T7 battleships that has greater guns than 356, it just need this heal to tank the damage like other battleships.
Also its 19% torp protection and above the sea citadel displacement makes you can never heal like a UK cruiser, 30% per heal in a match is the best situation you could get.
IMO, great to hear its a premium, its one of my favorite historical ships. Cant wait for it.
