Kutuzov W
Ship Overview

Kutuzov W — Soviet
Premium Tier VII Cruiser.
One of the most advanced light cruisers in the U.S.S.R. Navy. The ship was as good as most of her foreign counterparts in terms of speed and armor. The cruiser's key advantage over other ships of her type was her main battery that boasted a very long firing range due to the successful design of turret mounts.
