You of course left out either, knowley or unknowley the 19K m range extension for Smolensky's main guns, and of course it's smoke. Not to mention it's superior torpedo range and reload of it's main guns. Actually you left out quite a lot when it's all said and done. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May be true but, it also gets into the hands of people whom " team kill " others just because the ship fires fast and can hide while doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SHAD] Miscommunication_dept Players 5,512 posts 24,469 battles Report post #13 Posted February 5, 2020 I’ve always liked the Svetlana. It’s basically a better Krasny at tier 4, great ship for ambushing Clubsons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THESO] KillStealBoss Players 12,123 posts 62,194 battles Report post #14 Posted February 6, 2020 Smolensk is annoying. And can be annoying on a very long range. Just remove the range module on it like it’s on Kremlin and that’s it. We don’t need more ridiculous Kutuzov with 2x better reload and 2x more shells. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PFFC] MRGTB [PFFC] Players 1,285 posts Report post #15 Posted February 6, 2020 That's pretty much the most annoying thing about the Smolensk in games at minute. The range it's able to keep shooting you, while you try and escape it's fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THESO] CptMinia Moderator, Players, Privateer 1,427 posts 11,709 battles Report post #16 Posted February 6, 2020 Hello, Smolensk isn't an OP ship to be honest, but she can be very strong in the right hands. If anything, I would say her potential is what needs to be nerfed. Which is why I've argued the 19.2km maximum range should be nerfed somehow or smoke removed really. But she is leaving the shop so at least that's something to celebrate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunleader Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 5,710 posts 13,400 battles Report post #17 Posted February 6, 2020 Smolensk is Dangerous. But I cant say its really OP so far. The one thing which I do find annoying is its Ridiculous Armor Scheme which makes it extremely Hard to Citadel for Battleships when its just sitting there Broadside. Even with Cruisers if your Rushing a Broadsiding Smolensk its Hard to do Damage because you Overpen it constantly.... Thanks to that I would consider Smolensk Broken. But not exactly Overpowered.

BB AP overpens? Yes all day long. The biigger guns the worse it gets. But cruisers overpen? In my experience not 155-205 if you aim OK. Best counters for Slolensk. Even Chapa can kill it alone during one radar duration. Maybe Kron, but she overpens everything on a close range. Which one was it? Normal CA-CL or one of supercruisers? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG: puts smol in SuPrIsE MeChNiC with 5% drop rate and sell it for £20 EACH too expensive? buy 20 SuPrIsE MeChNiC for £100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same for Edinburgh etc. This this has so little Armor that Low Pen Guns are Great against it. But try with Moskwa or Hindenburg. In Close Range you get alot of Overpens.

Maybe WG would like to implement it because it's so incredible balanced and basically no skillgap between good and bad players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add Des Moines/Salem to those that seem to mostly OverPen. Don't need to be pretty close either. I like taking a CL up against one, but it is risky if the Smolensk returns fire, it can demolish an Edinburgh in no time at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not have Moskwa yet, very soon will be able to check as I am close now. With Hindenburg I didn't notice it but TBH I didn't not play her much last year.
