Player Opinion

Cruiser - Varyag

Pros:

• Decent rudder shift time
• Placement of guns on either side of ship allows player to quickly switch targets on a different side.

Cons:

• High freebord makes her easier to hit and take citadel damage.
• Low amount of HP compared to other Tier II protected cruisers.
• High shell arc makes hitting agile ships at maximum range very difficult.
• Like the Bogatyr, it does not have any AA armament.
