Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I think that Moskva is the almost finished (...) Project 82. Which in fact, was a BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalingrad-class_battlecruiser

 

tier 10 : Moskva \ «Москва» - Laid down 1952, BU on slip 1950s classe https://en.wikipedia...s_battlecruiser

 

 

You are both wrong on tier X.

 

It is the project 66 heavy cruiser design.

Cool! I'm excited what Josef is bringing into port! Will the ships be equiped with the Stalin Organ?? (

@13th second) I would love to have one of those as a consumable and shoot it at a DD cloud!!!

Let's take a look at the ships from Wikipedia:

 

Tier2: Russian protected cruiser Novik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Novik_(1900)

 

Tier 3: Russian protected cruiser Bogatyr

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogatyr-class_cruiser

 

Tier 4: Russian light cruiser Svetlana

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana-class_cruiser

 

Tier 5: Soviet heavy cruiser Kirov

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirov-class_cruiser

 

Tier 6: Budyonnyi?

Tier 7: Shors?

 

Tier 8: Soviet heavy cruiser Chapayev

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapayev-class_cruiser

 

Tier 9: Dimitri Donskoi?

 

Tier 10: Moskva

Maybe this one?:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Moskva

That one seems pretty new, though.

 

Anyway, these are my guesses for the ships.

the ingame picture looks like the BC but the other one isn't much different from that POV, let's see

Kirov as Tier 5? You've got to be kidding me :D A late 30's heavy cruiser with a 3x3 180mm gun outlet against Omahas, Königsbergs and Furutakas? It will be gloriously overpowered, I thought this would be at least Tier 6. Tbh, it's a Tier 7.

The 180 mm guns shoots 98 kg projectiles with a muzzle of 920 mps. Rof = 6 rpm

The only draw back is that it has only 50 mm belt armour.

Nope its project 66 not 82^^

 

Hope you're right, that would give at least 1% of chance against the vodka fueled railguns lol.

 

Seriously, do you have any proof? I'm really interested.

They never shoot 6rpm. It was project aim of this gunz. In trails they had 4,5 rpm but in practice they rarely went over 3 rpm

I'm a bit disappointed by the Kerch (former Duca d'Aosta) not being in the tree, tough. It could have taken the place of one of the T VI - VII ghost ships.

Looks like they skipped the Admiral Nakhimov-class. Would've been an interesting T5. 15 x 130mm guns.

 

I thought they would've gone 

 

Svetlana, Nakhimov, Kirov, Chapayev, Sverdlov, Paper , Paper. 

 

 

Edit: Nvm, misread the wiki, Svetlana is pretty much same as Nakhimov..

Makes sense.

 

The 152 mm B38 guns fired a 55 kg (121 lb) shell to 24,000 m (26,000 yd).

That's a potential premium. Moreover considering the placement of her derivative(Kirov is a mix of Montecuccoli and d'Aosta) should go at tier V

 

Anyway hopefully they will release some pieces of info on those ships soon enough, especially on the projects which can't be guessed by their names.

which would work out pretty decently compared to the others - if we take the 3rpm ballpark, that'd be 27 180mm shells per minute compared to the Furrytaco's 21 203mm(was it 203? close enough at least)...

If these ships are all going to be high-velocity, long-range AP spammers with extremely good accuracy (and decent HE), I fear for the cruiser balance of the game. If the Kutuzov is anything to judge the line by, they will be similar to the KM cruisers in play-style, except better in most areas.

 

Hopefully, they will be more balanced (I do like the aesthetics of the top tier though <3).

 

The tier 9 has 12 guns, look like 8 inches guns :v

 

That could work (balance-wise), as long as the ship also has a low RoF and not a (huge) range advantage over other cruisers. I guess we'll just have to wait for the real specifications to be published.

Most likely is a post war upgrade of Project 68, then again it's hard to tell.
