I don't know what WG is taking but it must be some hard stuff.

Apparently from a clip from Russian WoWs stream.

We don't know much about this one as yet. There's plenty of HE spam about from other nations - Helena, Cleveland, Bayard, Colbert, Marceau, Atlanta, Flint - and the community threw a hissy fit when they released the Italian line without any fire capability, so I'm not surprised they've gone back to small HE cruisers. Provided they avoid the Belfast/Smolensk mistakes I'll be interested to see how it plays.

Do we know if it's based on a real ship, or more made-up "kids, don't take drugs!" type stuff?

Ochakov is a crater on Mars and a city in Ukraine. There also is a scuttled Kara class guided missile cruiser with that name.

They got smoke instead- plus decent torps and supreme maneuverability.

Hmm 8x6" will need some wicked reload to work at T8, average 6" packs 12 pieces there...

THE FOG

 

Nothing worse than a Mino smoking all the cap and you cant see jack sh1t.... Thank God for Russian Radar.

New T8 RU cruiser with potential for HE spam?

 

I smell  a T8 Clan Battles and / or ranked  season to tie in with it's release, If it has good AA too, expect CV's to be allowed in the season. 

 

After all WG have to give us fun and engaging game play right? :Smile_trollface:

Guess that will sort issues with bow camping BB:s just like Smolensk does

It would require some extraordinary amount of balans to compete with 12gunned CLs. Guessing 5s reload/12 rounds per min, to keep shell output in line with Chapayev/Kutuzov.

 

Probably more, you can't have russian premium ship merely comparable to existing ships:cap_cool:

Give it heal, smoke radar and ofc a spotter, make it OP, sell for big bucks, then remove from shop and put in Christmas boxes, seems like a winner to me:Smile_trollface:

It can be worse then that bud, remember the loot box only dual barrel tank? :Smile_trollface:

Last night dug more into those designs, and the 152's planned for those ships called for 12-17 rpm on paper. So there is all the justification devs need to make her vomit 152 mm shells like no tomorrow :Smile-_tongue:
