Akizuiki and what else? Harekaza, Kiev, and few other higher tier Russian ships. Not many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deep water torpedoes and smoke is fine. 7.9km surface detection, 6 x Budyonny guns, 8km Anshan torpedoes and RN CL manoeuvrability will make it good regardless of gimmicks.

Redgecohones Beta Tester 98 posts 2,268 battles Report post #6494 Posted August 30, 2017 Well, didn't want to single out indian's as too specific, and last I checked India (the land mass) was a 'sub-continent'. Goodness knows I can't keep up with what counts as 'offensive' these days. My point was not to target any ethnic group just the whole "why on earth do they bother doing this when it's so obviously counter to the reality - just say what it is" kinda thing.
