-The Parizhskaya Kommuna was the lead ship of the Sevastopol-class (also known as Gangut-class) battleships of the Imperial Russian Navy. The ship was commissioned in 1911 under the name Sevastopol, but would later be renamed Parizhskaya Kommuna by the new Soviet government. Over the 1920s, Parizhskaya Kommuna underwent a major modernisation, including a new flared bow, upgraded armament, armour, and machinery. In 1929, the ship was transferred to the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, where she served as the fleet flagship through the 1930s. During World War II, Parizhskaya Kommuna provided artillery support to Soviet forces defending Sevastopol and survived several German air raids, though she was eventually evacuated to Poti on the Black Sea coast. Over the next year, Parizhskaya Kommuna participated in bombardment missions against German forces in Crimea, including the Kerch-Feodosia Amphibious Operation. In 1943, the ship was renamed back to Sevastopol and served in a support role for the rest of the war.

 The 76 mm cannons form your long-range defence, with their timed fuse shells. The filler of the shells is 200 g, but you have 6 of these cannons and the reload isn't terrible, so can keep up a steady stream of flak to keep inbound aircraft dodging, lest they be hit by fragments.

 To top it off, the 12.7 mm MGs are basically there to supplement the 37 mm guns. They're not exactly long range and don't do a lot of damage, their rate of fire being the only thing going for them, but they increase the volume of fire being spewed at enemy planes, which is never a bad thing.

 In 1921, the ship was renamed Parizhskaya Kommuna by the new Soviet government. Over the 1920s, Parizhskaya Kommuna underwent a major rebuilding and modernisation at the Baltiysky Zavod shipyard in Leningrad. This included installation of a new flared bow to address her poor seakeeping, as well as upgrades to her armament (particularly bolstering her anti-aircraft armament), armour, and machinery. In 1929, Parizhskaya Kommuna was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet, where she would serve as the fleet flagship through the 1930s.
 Following the induction of the Soviet Union into the Second World War in 1941, Parizhskaya Kommuna provided artillery support to Soviet forces defending Sevastopol. The ship survived several German air raids on its moorings in Sevastopol, but was eventually evacuated to Poti on the Black Sea coast as the city fell. Over the next year, Parizhskaya Kommuna participated in several bombardment missions against German forces in Crimea, including the Kerch-Feodosia Amphibious Operation. However, battle damage sustained throughout the campaign would force the ship to undergo periodic repairs.
 In 1943, the ship was renamed back to its original name of Sevastopol and would serve out the rest of the war in a support role, not participating in any major naval action past that point. After the war, the ageing dreadnought was decommissioned in 1956 and subsequently scrapped.

+The Parizhskaya Kommuna was the first battleship of the Sevastopol class (also known as Gangut class). Parizhskaya Kommuna completed construction under the name Sevastopol in 1911 under the Imperial Russian Navy, and served in the Baltic Fleet. Sevastopol was largely unaffected by the tumultuous Russian Revolution in 1917 and the Civil War that followed, but suffered significant damage from a fire in 1919. With a reduced crew, Sevastopol was laid up and used as a source of spare parts for her sister ships.

 As the first battleship in the game with World War II refit, the {{PAGENAME}} has an exceptional survivability compared to other World War I dreadnoughts. While most of {{PAGENAME}}'s armour profile remains the same from her sister ship, the [[Poltava]], there are several key changes. Most prominent changes is that her main turret's roof is doubled in thickness (from 76 mm to 152 mm) which made it much harder to disable. The citadel deck armour is also increased up to 76 mm. This increased protection is offset by the change of its fuel from coal to oil, which eliminates the protection from the coal bunkers and made it slightly worse at taking a hit through the armour belt. The vessel is also equipped with torpedo bulges which can protect the sides of the ship from torpedo warheads up to 250 kg of TNT.
-The modernisation of the ship increased the displacement of the ship by some 7,000 tons, compared to the WW1-era Poltava, making the Parizhskaya Kommuna sit rather low in the water. While in real life this may be undesirable due to seakeeping issues, this is a huge benefit to your survivability in War Thunder. Much of the vital components of the ship (such as magazines and engines) are well below the waterline, the ships low profile making them difficult to hit. On the other hand, the low buoyancy of the {{PAGENAME}} also caused her to be highly vulnerable to flood  damage. As the ship will quickly ingest the water into the hull once it has been breached either by large torpedoes or a shot below the waterline, her internal module is at risk of being disabled before the breach has been contained. This, combined with her poor mobility, also made the {{PAGENAME}} extremely vulnerable to torpedoes, as multiple hits can cause the ship to be quickly flood and sunk before she can contain the damage.

 The ship is armed with the same set of 305 mm guns as the Imperatritsa Mariya and Poltava, and has access to the same devastating shells. The modernisation of the Parizhskaya Kommuna included an increase to the rate of fire of the main cannons, which have a minimum reload time of 27 seconds. This makes a small but noticeable upgrade to the firepower, as it is able to sling substantially more shells downrange during the course of a regular battle.

 <!-- ''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.'' -->

 The Parizhskaya Kommuna is armed with a competent anti-air suite, composed of 6 x 76 mm cannons, 16 x 37 mm autocannons and 12 x 12.7 mm machine guns. All MGs and autocannons are in unprotected single mounts, meaning that they're easily disabled by enemy gunfire or bombs. It's advisable to not bother repairing them while duelling with enemy vessels as you'll be essentially feeding crew out of the armoured citadel and into unprotected mounts that can be taken out by even destroyer-calibre HE.
 The 76 mm cannons form your long-range defence, with their timed fuse shells. The filler of the shells is 200 g, but you have 6 of these cannons and the reload isn't terrible, so can keep up a steady stream of flak to keep inbound aircraft dodging, lest they be hit by fragments.
 For closer range defence, you have the 37 mm autocannons. The mounts have a decent traverse speed, but the guns themselves are not outstanding, with relatively average accuracy, range and rate of fire, a couple of hits or less can delete enemy fighters. Bombers may take more hits though.
 To top it off, the 12.7 mm MGs are basically there to supplement the 37 mm guns. They're not exactly long range and don't do a lot of damage, their rate of fire being the only thing going for them, but they increase the volume of fire being spewed at enemy planes, which is never a bad thing.
 All in all, the Parizhskaya Kommuna can sustain an AA field roughly equivalent to many cruisers. While not in any way exceptional, it is still more than capable of defending against aircraft.
