How good is Russian Nelson(Lenin)?

My friend unlocked it recently with a Massa. We've been spamming together with same ships for quite some time now. And I've been enjoying my Bulletproof in our divs.

My friend said that he didn't enjoy Lenin as much as he would enjoy other T7 bbs. But he did admit that he's biased since he had more winrate in his Allied bbs than the ussr bbs.

But since it's biased opinion, what do other Lenin owners think? Is Lenin a good ship or just need good skills?
