Udaloi — Soviet Tier IX destroyer.

The most advanced Soviet destroyer among those designed before 1941 (Project 35). Udaloi was large in size and could run at a very high speed for this type of ship. In terms of the power of her main guns, she outclassed most of her foreign counterparts.

What can be described as an Ognevoi, Kiev, and Tashkent combined, Udaloi is a fairly newer shift in Russian destroyer ergonomics. Sporting dual mounts in the same AB-X layout as Tashkent this destroyer leans on her guns than her torpedoes. Udaloi can kite ships that have a hard time leading her due to her fast speed. She can be an effective counter to other Tier IX destroyers in close range encounters and excels in medium-to-long range gunnery duels.

However, she is not without her drawbacks. Similar to her Russian predecessors her torpedo speed leaves something to be desired and the detection rating of the ship itself is quite poor for a destroyer. Her maneuverability is also lacking, but this can be compensated for with the appropriate upgrades (see below).

Pros:

Good HE and AP shells, usable against all targets regardless of class
Good rate of fire and fast main battery traverse speed
Heavy torpedo armament - three quintuple launchers with decent speed, range and damage
Good ship speed of 40 knots
Decent AA suite, bolstered by the Defensive AA Fire  consumable
Access to the Repair Party  consumable

Cons:

Large ship with bad concealment
Large turn radius and slow rudder shift for a destroyer
Long torpedo reload time
Fairly low hitpoint pool compared to techtree counterpart Tashkent

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Udaloi is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Udaloi (B) for more health, improved maneuverability, and better AA, as well as two extra torpedoes per launcher. Research of this module unlocks progression to Grozovoi.
Torpedoes: Upgrade to 53-39 mod. 4. Although they are slower, they bring increased range, higher damage, lower detectability, and increased flood chance.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to GFCS IX mod. 2 for an extra 10% main battery range.

As a tech-tree ship, Udaloi has to research a second hull, improved fire control directors, and improved torpedo armament. Prioritize the second hull upgrade first (this increases the tubes of the torpedo launchers from 3 to 5), followed by the improved fire control. The torpedo armament upgrades are nice but should be taken last, as Udaloi is primarily a gunboat, and usage of her torpedoes is situational.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Udaloi are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3

Captains who have the Engine Boost Modification 1 upgrade and have the Sierra Mike () signal equipped are encouraged to replace the Propulsion Modification 1 upgrade, as it extends the Engine Boost  consumable duration by 50%, thereby allowing Udaloi to maintain a max speed of 45.4 knots for three minutes.

Consumables

Udaloi can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator  – 2 charges
Slot 3: Engine Boost  – 2 charges
Slot 4: Repair Party  – 2 charges
Slot 4: Defensive AA Fire  – 4 charges

Signals

Captains should mount India Yankee () to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot () to decrease reload time of consumables, and Sierra Mike () to increase ships maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone () to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie () to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima () and India X-Ray () to increase fire chance to HE shells.
