Kronshtadt has arrived!

[NicramDuel]

...And what a beast she is!

 

I tried to do a relatively average test run on her. Checked how well or unwell she can damage BB's and DD's with her nukes AP shells, and generally goofed around a bit. I intentionally tried not to add economic flags to this run, except for the commander exp one, but in my giddiness I accidentally added Zulu to the mix, thus an extra 120k came in. She looks like a decent earner, perhaps on par with the t9 BB premiums... But utility,-and funwise... This Lady wins it in my eyes!

 

All she has to offer can now be yours, for a mere 750.000 free exp! 

 

Welcome to the fray, Kronshtadt!

So whats the final iteration of that dispersion? Is it the YouTube one or bb Like?

It feels comparable to a USN Battleship.

 

Credit earning is good, probably like on the Musashi. (OP is not using credit buffs)

It's about the ship, not the player!

[Shaka_D]

The ship is squishy I was citadelled from the front a few times and even from the sides from like 20km away by hungry BB's and I was not very happy so I am not sure if I like this ship because I thought it played like a battleship but then it's only a cruiser and yes I know it's irritating I have not used any punctuation at all in this post.

Nah... those are Pokemon BBs - gotta catch them all!

Absolutely incomparable with... like... someone not knowing the stats of a ship and grounding himself on an island because of a non-existing torpedo threat... which of course never happened to me... *cough*

So what upgrades do you get for this ship? For me it's a tough choice but so far I've gone with rudder instead of the concealment mod. Also, MBM rather than the range mod, because sitting at 20km isn't generally helpful to your team, though you do want to use the range you have when it comes to fighting BBs.

but you did, you used apostrophes in BB's and it's, plus a full stop at the end...

I d go with dispersion reduction for urself and dispersion increase for enemy (with concealment mod) also last slot definetly reload mod 18 something km is enough range i dont shoot much further then that in any ship anyways unless there is nothing else for me to do

Have to say, I'm very much enjoying my experience with the Kronshtadt.

Been nuking them with AP DBs all day. 

 

Seriously though, it's hilarious how vulnerable these things are to air strikes. DFAA is barely enough to keep Enterprise DBs away. Midway DBs don't care one way or the other, had a game in which I yolo'd through Kronshtadt DFAA without losing a single plane and, to add insult to injury, nuked him with 7 citadels.

 

I mean, I'd be salty about another high tier cruiser vulnerable to AP bombs (you know, like Buffalo), but since Kronshtadt isn't really a cruiser I cannot bring myself to care all that much tbh.

Ship needs EM though .. >40s turret traverse with reload mod

Will have to try it in GZ.

(Have 1-shot multiple Lexingtons through their DefAA, since they are fat enough - and Kron is fat too...)

Yeah she is a beast but she can be citadelled from the front so when you play well with your BB she is no match

If that thing is a cruiser, then I am Mickey Mouse.

Great ship and fun to play too
