War Thunder Adds Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya as Guardian of the Baltic Sea Event Ship

The Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya is the final and most advanced of the Sevastopol-class battleships, and it enters War Thunder as an event vehicle for the USSR at Rank V. It becomes obtainable through the Guardian of the Baltic Sea event — which began on August 13 — across seven stages.

What changed from its sistership

The ship shares a foundation with the Sevastopol already in-game — the same long, high armor belt and 305 mm main battery — but its 1946 modernization configuration introduces meaningful differences:

• Increased AA gun count, with an arrangement said to more closely resemble that of the Marat
• 76 mm anti-aircraft mounts added to main battery turrets one and four
• Three twin 76 mm gun mounts positioned at the bow and stern, replacing a single pair of aft anti-torpedo guns
• 37 mm automatic guns installed on turrets two and three and on the superstructures
• Radar added — absent on Sevastopol

The ship's mobility is described as average, and its combat role is framed around medium and long-range engagements where its broadside salvo and improved air defenses can be applied simultaneously.

For players pursuing the USSR naval tree, the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya represents a Sevastopol-class hull rebuilt around the lesson that anti-air coverage is as decisive as main battery firepower.
