The ship used to be called Petropavlsk but befor ww2 it was renamed to Marat.

180 meters long.

4 main 40cm guns.

speed of 24knots.

 

thick armour and some torpedo tubes.

 

really nice ship!

Yeah its going to be in the game, I don't see why they wouldn't add it. I'm looking forward to this one along with the Kirov class cruisers.

It probably will but you'll have to wait a while. The Russian tree won't be in the game launch.

Sure you got the armament correct, dosent it have like 4 × 3 - 12-inch (305 mm)/52 guns?

[ishankov]

wait your right the 40cm is for the torpedo tubes and the guns are 305mm.

Petropavlovsk class originally designed by the Italian designer General Vittorio Cuniberti, who also designed the very similar Italian Dreadnaught Battleship Dante Aligheri.  The Russian Ministry of Marine considerably changed the design to utilize their ideas on armoring, machinery, and other special features including bows of an ice breaking type.
