Here's our First Look at Tier IX Premium British battleship HMS Marlborough. The more I look at Marlborough, the more "meh" I am about the ship. As much as I enjoy King George V - her Tier VII cousin in the tech tree - I don't genuinely believe that these guns will be that effective in the tiers of matchmaking that Marlborough gets. I may be wrong, but on paper this main battery looks like a liability and not an asset... which isn't exactly exciting when talking about a battleship. Let's root around under the deck and see what else Marlborough has going on.
