| | + | What can be said as an Ognevoi, Kiev and Tashkent facemelting, the Udaloi is a fairly newer shift in Russian destroyer ergonomics. Sporting dual mounts in the same AB-X layout and fairly decent torpedoes, the destroyer leans to more of her guns than to her torpedoes which is used for harassing runs to scare off, if not outright severely damage, the occasional player that does not know any better or was too careless. Due to this, the Udaloi can repeatedly kite ships that have a hard time beading on her due to the fast speed she can reach and as a destroyer that leans on guns more than their torpedoes, she can be an effective counter to Fletchers or Kageros in the thick of melee or in range gunnery duels. An interesting thing about this destroyer is that her AA suite when fully kitted is fairly equivalent to a light cruiser's. |

| | + | However, she is not with her drawbacks as per her Russian predecessors such as the torpedo speed that leads something to be desired or even the detection rating of the ship itself, the newer drawback for Udaloi is of her rather sluggish ergonomics for a destroyer but can be fully mitigated with the appropriate kitting. |

Udaloi — Soviet Tier IX destroyer.
The Soviet Navy development program involved building large destroyers with ocean-going capabilities. Having decided to draw on foreign experience, the Soviet Union sent a delegation to the U.S. in 1939. A firm called Gibbs & Cox proposed a destroyer design that was based on the Mahan class, but the U.S. government forbade certain technology to be shared with the U.S.S.R. The firm's proposal laid the foundation for Project 35, under which two vessels should have been laid down in 1941; however, the outbreak of war disrupted the construction process.
