Borodino also has access to the standard Damage Control Party consumable, unlike most other U.S.S.R battleships, increasing her longevity in battle. Borodino does have better deck armor, which serves to protect against incoming long-range fire. However, it is important to note that Borodino is more vulnerable in certain parts of the ship than other Tier VIII U.S.S.R battleships, such as Lenin and Vladivostok, due to variations in armor thickness. This maneuver is sometimes referred to as bow-tanking. When slightly angled or facing the enemy, there is a much higher likelihood that armor-piercing (AP) shells will ricochet, rather than penetrate and cause damage to Borodino. If there is no effective cover, players should point the bow of the ship toward the enemy. By breaking off the engagement, she can recover hit points without being exposed to further incoming fire. A good position will also allow for retreat if the enemy is overwhelming Borodino.

Ideal positioning will allow for enemy ships to be within range of the main battery armament while also providing cover to the side(s) of the ship.

Borodino is a large ship, making her an easy target if aggressive maneuvers place her in a compromised position, such as being broadside in a turn or too close to a superior enemy force. To have the best chance of success in battle with Borodino, her playstyle can be simplified to one word: positioning. Borodino has two rear-facing secondary battery turrets to protect her stern, each sporting two 180 mm rifles. She is armed with six 406 mm rifles housed in two forward-facing mounts.
