rare artifacts have always fascinated
people
in fact all adventure stories art
auctions
stock markets and international military
and political relations
are built on this human desire to
possess something unique
and exclusive today i present you a ship
that caused quite a commotion in
europe's naval circles
in the early 20th century please welcome
a unique troublemaker
british tier v premium battleship
the ship initially named rio de janeiro
was laid down
in 1911 in great britain to fulfill an
order from the brazilian government
however financial difficulties forced
brazil to put the battleship up for sale
while she was still being constructed in
january 1914
the ottoman empire purchased the ship
after conducting a public fundraising
campaign
the battleship was renamed sultan ozman
1.
their departure from england was
scheduled for august 3 but a day prior
the british admiralty seized the
battleship due to the outbreak of world
war 1.
it caused public outrage in the ottoman
empire and contributed to its decision
to join the alliance between germany
and austria-hungary

named after a famous battle of the
hundred years war battleship ascencore
took part in the battle of jutland
her powerful salvos were mistaken by the
crews of other ships
as the explosion of another
battlecruiser after the war
she was put in reserve the british made
another attempt to sell her to brazil
but without success in 1924
the mighty battleship nicknamed the gin
palace
by sailors for her complex architecture
was sold for scrap
of course a prominent ship like this was
bound to appear
in world of warships the first thing you
notice when you take a look at her
are seven main battery turrets
british sailors name them after the days
of the week imagine how the sailors
serving in the first turret used to feel
it was monday every day for them
if you compare agincourt's firepower to
that of her same-tier counterparts
it's easy to see that despite being
inferior to the majority of them in
terms of calibre
she surpasses them by the number of guns
as you surely know it's always good to
have a turret or two loaded and ready
when playing a battleship
particularly after you've already fired
some salvos at the enemy
[Music]
if you select your target correctly and
skillfully control your fire
agincourt's 305 millimeter guns are more
than capable of significantly reducing
the hp pool of an enemy battleship
that is of course if your aim is
sufficiently accurate
the battleship reveals her full
potential in close quarters engagements
thanks to her enormous salvo weight and
powerful secondary armament which has an
unusually long range for its tier keep
in mind though that the ship can't boast
of having the most impressive armor
nevertheless a large hp pool contributes
to a degree of self-confidence in battle
now it's time to tell you about the
upgrades that can increase the ship's
efficiency
i recommend focusing on reinforcing the
secondary armament
to combat enemy destroyers and increase
her survivability
mount auxiliary armaments modification
one in the first slot
damage control system modification one
in the second slot
and aa guns modification one in the
third
the battleship will bring her owner
increased income and exp and credits
thanks to her permanent camouflage and
premium status
most importantly in the hands of a
daring captain
the ship is capable of becoming a
formidable force
that can act as an instrument of victory
oscar parks a british historian and
editor of the jane's fighting ships
reference book
once said that battleship agincourt was
a floating magazine
with a tremendous volume of fire as her
best protection
