Before reading this if you are not owner of a kronstadt then you better not reply if you really are please tell your opinion about this! Thank you!
Kronstadt is a t9 premium soviet cruiser. During its testing many people made fun of kronstadt about how OP it is because it is soviet! Well things changed when it came live.
The armor is underwhelming= 25 mm of armor all around the ship you need about a 376mm gun in order to overmatch it, the only bbs that will not do it are lyon and schanhorst and king george. The citadel is very exposed and very wide, show broadside and you are dead! But it is really a problem? Well not really most t9 cruisers have 25mm of armor all around and big citadel so it is alright.
The guns: the guns are HORRIBLE. your gunners are blind or suffer from PTSD. 2.0 sigma is only on paper it doesnt fell like 2.0 at all, dispersion is all over the place you will have no problems hitting the sea or the sky.You do not get improved angles most targets just need to angle a little bit and you will get only bounces. They also overpen a lot, however the only good thing about them is the velocity but what good at if you cant hit your targets and do proper damage? Forget about the HE shells they are most of the time useless and you need to be very lucky to start fires with them.
AA:the aa is garbage nothing here, you need worcester aa to shot down planes otherwise say good bye.
Maneuverability: for a cruiser so big i found it to be good, rudder shift is alright and turning circle is acceptable and the speed is nice.
Concealment:12.4 is okay when you got a 11.7 radar you know so that the destroyers can stand a chance.
Refrigerator:spotter plane-meh good to hit thinks in smoke i guess or you can switch it for defensive aa fire but you are not des moines or worcester.you get a heal and a 11.7km radar that can last up to 30sec.
My point:this ship is garbage. you have no armor so every battleship will focus you and every salvo will deal 10k damage or even more. the guns are horrible you just cant hit with them and do proper damage what this means: a ship with no guns is a bad ship simple as that.Give this ship the same pen angles as stalingrad, improve its dispersion and sigma and you can increase the reload by 1 or 2 sec. This ship needs consistent guns to work.
And now my kronstadt players think how much worse this ship was in the first phase of the testing.
