The Tier 6 battleship named Tervel is the first dreadnought ever made in Bulgaria, surviving the Great War of 2013 and by 2036 being over 110 years old, but still in function as the flagship of UBRN navy. It had twelve 367mm/45 guns designed for warfare in the 10's and being obsolete by 2036. The ship, however had decent speed for its time and extreme armor and torpedo protection, although it was obsolete after fast battleships appeared. It does share a lot with its successors Zverski-class battleships though.


PROS:

• Just like Zverski, it is hard to citadel because Bulgarian armor schemes.
  
  
• Decent speed for a dreadnought.
  
  
• Reasonable AA with hull C (2036). Almost immune to tier 7 aircraft.
  
  
• Heavy broadside for tier with 6 x 2 367mm/45 guns
  
  
• Has access to radar array consumable, historically mounted in its pagoda mast.
  
  
• Top hull has 61,000 worth of health pool, largest for tier 6, and third highest of all mid-tiers after T7 Nagato and Hood.
  
  
• Has access to spotter and catapult fighters at once.
  
  
• Accurate guns make it a great sniper, further enhanced by the volume of 12 shells.
  
  
• UBRN AP shells are more powerful than others at this tier, even more than Bayern's 380mm's
  
  
• Can overmatch bows on 356mm armed ships, while they can't overmatch their own bows, and what to say about Tervel's?
  
  

CONS:

• Sluggish handling characteristics: largish turning circle of 950m and ferocious rudder shift of 41 seconds makes it the fastest and the least maneuverable ship at tier six.
  
  
• Its AA is somewhat of a glass cannon; just like Zverski, its AA is extreme at long range, but HE (especially Subonian stack-fires) can destroy a lot with single hit.
  
  
• Slow turret traverse, but decently high rate of fire (17 seconds due to automatic reloading system) more than makes up for that.
  
  
• HE is inferior even to some cruisers' AP!
  
  
• Slow shell velocity at 692 m/s makes it the slowest shell velocity in the game for battleships.
  
  
• High detection range and worst concealment in the whole game, worse than Zverski which is far bigger!
  
  
• Poor secondaries. Most of them don't have dual-purpose capabilities (but bad firing arcs too), and 75mm MSCO are weak against anything but destroyers if using AP.
