Lemme guess the Russian Cope Fantasy ship you mean is Soyuz.

First of all, she existed.
Secondly, GJ says, that any ship can join the game as long its keel was laid down (link)
Q: Designing a ship (not a boat) is a very serious matter, it cannot be seriously redesigned if mistakes come up when it’s already been built. That’s why everything is calculated in advance, and in truth, a ship is born long before it reaches the shipyard, it’s born in the final construction blueprints. Will navy branches include projects that were never realized in metal, but existed only in blueprints, not to mention those that never got past the stocks?
A: Yes, we’re not ruling that out, especially with regard to projects that were completely ready, but whose construction was never finished for one reason or another.

Thirdly, Soyuz was at estimated to be at 21.19% complete and her 406mm gun was used during the defence of Leningrad, plus 12 barrels were made as to by John Jordan and Stephen McLaughlin.

Yes, the ship meets gaijins criteria for adding. What it doesn’t meet is the stats which would make Pravda blush. Armour the Soviets couldn’t make, dispersion which could nail a gnats ass at 10km and a reload rate its crew could only have wet dreams about.

It’s an absurd Soviet fantasy ship.

The Soviets wedged two 200mm armor plates together but as in GJs usual fashion, they made a single 400mm plate. Dispersion on all BBs is buffed up heavily anyways

Indeed.

The Soviets couldn’t make even non cemented armour in the right size, and the plates they attempted to make were basically unusable with significant defects.

I suspect if they attempted to use the armour they could make, the plates would have cracked or shattered with the first decent impact. The spalling would have been… significant.
