Work began on Project 65 in 1945 by design bureau CDB-17 and was headed by A. Savitchev. Over the six years of her development, the Project 65 alternated in gun caliber, armor, anti-air defense and displacement, resulting in over 40 different variants. In 1947, because she wasn't living up to his expectations, Stalin ordered that all work on the Project 65 be halted in favor of increasing the order of ''Sverdlov''-class light cruisers to 25. Despite this, work continued on Project 65 for three more years until she was finally abandoned in 1951. | |

Player Opinion
Performance
A reliable cruiser in skilled hands, the Dmitri Donskoi, named after hero Dmitri Donskoi (translation: Dmitri of the Don) or "Dima" can be said as the analogous counterpart for the US cruiser of the same tier the Baltimore, albeit having different values than her US counterpart. If anything, the cruiser has a surprising AA suite aboard as well as trading gun caliber from the standard 8 inch guns normally seen on heavy cruisers to the 7.1 inch guns that was mounted on the Kirov at first. As an "escort cruiser", she is ideal for screening the carriers and battleships from aerial assaults as well as providing a second line of fire within the battle line as her range can permit her to do so. However despite her potency and effectiveness, be constantly vigilant and mobile as the ship absolutely can NOT survive a beating nor can it hide if it is concentrated upon. Work as a support cruiser and escort cruiser and you will see surprising results.
Pros:
- Improved 7.1 inch guns from her tier 5 predecessor Kirov
- Fast despite her appearance
- Powerful AA suite
- Impressive gun range
- Good rudder shift
- Friendly ergonomics
- Surprisingly durable for a cruiser of her type
Cons:
- High detection range for a cruiser; it is equivalent to a battleship
- The ship, despite being fairly durable, cannot take excess punishment
- Cannot effectively join fast striking cruiser groups due to her detection compared to her colleagues the Roon, Baltimore and Ibuki
Research
If you are comfortable with the range with your rather high detection range, research hull B to improve your ship's HP and AA suite then hull C and then the GFCS, or you can acquire hull B, then gun range then hull C.
