The game's Slava, Poltava, Chesma, and other ships succumb to concentrated British fire. Ammunition loss, fires, and the speed mismatch make the virtual defeat effectively final. The historical Slava had a much better reputation than this outcome suggests and is described here as one of the Russian Navy's more capable fighters. That distinction keeps the game result separate from the record of the real vessel.
