Player Opinion
Pros:
- Stealthier than the other Tier X Soviet destroyer, Khabarovsk.
- Torpedoes have fairly good range and have decent speed.
- Has slightly faster shells than Khabarovsk.
- Has access to the Defensive AA Fire consumable in order to be a menace against planes.
- Main batteries have rapid rate of fire.
Cons:
- Has less hit points than Khabarovsk.
- Has one less turret than Khabarovsk.
- Its HE shells have less damage (1800 vs 1900) than the HE-46 shells that are standard on other Soviet destroyers.
- Slightly slower than the Udaloi, much slower than the Khabarovsk.
- Besides speed, it has the poor maneuverability characteristic of the Soviet destroyer line.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Grozovoi are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Propulsion Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
- Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3 *
Grozovoi is best compared to American counterpart Gearing when it comes to upgrades, as no other Tier X destroyer can also mount Defensive AA Fire . Packing this consumable gives Grozovoi captains some interesting choices when it comes to outfitting their ship.
Captains who opt for a full-on Anti-Aircraft Build, should install AA Guns Modification 2 () into Slot 3 at a minimum, and are advised to consider equipping Template:AA Guns Modification 3 in Slot 6 as well. By stacking these upgrades with the Basic Firing Training commander skill and a November Echo Setteseven () flag, Grozovoi’s AA becomes brutally punishing, even more so if points are invested into the Manual Fire Control for AA Armament commander skill.
Captains who prefer a more Generalist Build should stick with Aiming Systems Modification 1 in Slot 3, though they could also consider Torpedo Tubes Modification 2 ()
in Slot 6 depending on how they wanted to play the ship.
Captains who have one of the rare Engine Boost Modification 1 upgrades and have the Sierra Mike () signal equipped are encouraged to replace the Propulsion Modification 1 upgrade, as it extends the Engine Boost consumable duration by 50%, thereby allowing her to maintain a max speed of 44.8 knots for three minutes.

Consumables
Grozovoi can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost or Defensive AA Fire
Grozovoi has a decent base speed of 39.5 kts, which allows for a speedy main-battery focused destroyer build viable. Additionally, due to its decent concealment and option of having Defensive AA Fire , the player may opt for a defensive and torpedo focused destroyer build.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Grozovoi with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
