I had a game in the Ognevoi as "rental" back then and there was a nicholas or farragut (don't really remember) at the start of the game shooting at me, but it only hit me with 1 shot. It didn't do any HP damage but it took out a turret leaving me with 50% of my firepower for the rest of the game. =_=

So yes in theory 2 perfectly aimed 127mm shells with a bit of help from RNGesus can take out all of your guns even if you have the gun module upgrade.

 

Still I like the ship though.

In the Kiev ive pretty much lost atleast 1 turret EVERY game i play with it, i had a game recently on hotspot, game started, got to c, 1 round from a febuki (yes 1 round) hit front turret, instantly destroyed. 

 

Now i honestly love the kiev is great fun, but this constant turret destroyed is plain annoying, since the main strength of the RU DD's is there guns.

 

Thats my main gripe with them.

Losing 1 gun isn't too much of an issue (essentially you become Ognevoi with higher Speed). It's when you lose all 3 turrets while only suffering very little damage it gets really frustrating (luckily this is quite a rare thing for me as I prefer to stay at range where it's speed and maneuverability allows you to dodge most salvos).

As a big fan of the Russian DDs I'm assuming you are represented by the girl riding the green truck.

Good to see you are having fun playing them. :)

 

I've to admit the T2 and T3 DDs are simply bad ships, though.

Just wait until you have properly skilled skipper behind 130mm guns.

Actually there's fitting Finnish WW2 era battlecry/saying how ships with those should be driven:Tulta munille!

Basically meaning: Fire at their balls.

 

Cruisers should learn to prioritize their targets... or at least to protect their vulnerable side.

The problem is this happens too often, i mean, i dont care so much in other dd's because atleast they still have other means to participate in the match, due to the lack of ways to actually gain participation in the match, lose turrets on a RUDD you might aswell just quit from that point, i love the ships but this feels like it happens too often to be considered normal.
