Kirov — Soviet Tech Tree Tier IV Cruiser.

One of the first large warships designed and built in the U.S.S.R. (Project 26). Despite her small displacement, she is equipped with powerful long-range main guns and has good speed. In contrast to the majority of her contemporaries, Kirov has weak armor.

Entered Service: 1938
Ships in a series: 2

Ship Traits
Sure Shot: Shells with a good ballistic trajectory maintain velocity, making aiming easier.	Big Guns: This ship is armed with high-caliber main battery guns.	Paper Thin: Higher caliber shells overpen the armor without arming, causing minimal damage.
