Note that all 6" and smaller weapons are QF guns. I haven't changed them here, but when posted in my nation forum they will have the changes.

6" QF?  I don't think your loaders will thank you for that.  90 pound shell, plus 26.5 pound charge, plus a cartridge case weight of around 25-30 pounds.  It sure looked impressive when Canet demonstrated it (most likely ashore), though.

After experiments with stacked turrets and heavy casemate guns on the Tsesarevich class battleships, the IRN has decided to return to more conventional designs for the Borodino class. Improvements in the rate of fire of heavy guns has led to the replacement of 8" guns with 10" guns on the Borodino. A slightly more powerful powerplant has also been adopted for the first time on the 12,570 ton battleships.

The IRN was satisfied with the armor and armament of the Nepobedimyy class but was unsatisfied with its low top speed relative to foreign designs. The Admiral Nakhimov is almost 1.5 knots faster than previous IRN armored cruisers but its draught has also increased, making it more difficult for the cruiser to operate in shallower waters in the Baltic and Asia.

IMO, decrease to 7.50 & draught too to have higher survivability.

I decided that reducing draught was most important. Reducing the length to beam ratio would have made the ship very large.
