Ship Overview

All Ships

 Kotovsky — Soviet • Tech Tree • Tier IV • Cruiser.

One of the first projects of a Soviet light cruiser armed with 152 mm guns. It was a conceptual step forward in comparison to the Svietlana-class ships in terms of her speed, gunfire control system, the arrangement of her main battery artillery, and the strength of her AA defenses.

━━ Ship Traits ━━

Long Reach: Above average main battery range. Hit them before they can hit you.

Compromising: High caliber AP shells overpen the armor, but may still arm, depending on shell velocity.
