Mikhail Kutuzov — Soviet special premium Tier VIII cruiser.

The Project 68bis cruiser was laid down in Mykolaiv in 1951. From 1955, she served in the 50th Cruiser Division of the Black Sea Fleet. The first Soviet Ka-15 ship-based helicopter was tested on the ship in the same year. Between 1967 and 1968, the ship performed a combat mission in the Mediterranean Sea during the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 1969, Mikhail Kutuzov became the flagship of the 30th Division of the Black Sea Fleet. In 1987, the cruiser was transferred to the reserve, and between 1999 and 2002, she was converted into a museum ship.

One of the ships of Project 68bis (the Sverdlov class), Mikhail Kutuzov is one of the better premium cruisers released into the game. Sporting twelve 152mm guns and a very solid AA suite, she operates as a second line support ship without the need to get up close and personal with the enemy. Her anti-aircraft suite is outstanding, and with the Defensive AA Fire consumable equipped, she shreds enemy aircraft. One thing of note: aside from Iwaki Alpha and the old Kitakami, she's one of the few non-destroyers that has access to the Smoke Screen consumable which is useful in many ways. She has her downsides, however, as she is very easily to citadel and her guns occasionally get incapacitated to outright knocked out. She plays very differently from her cousin in the tech tree, Chapayev, and those differences set her in a class by herself.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Mikhail Kutuzov from the NA forums

Impressive penetration against her peers and rate of fire for a light cruiser.
Longest range of any Tier VIII cruiser.
Best-in-tier anti-aircraft suite.
Fairly durable for a light cruiser.
Fast turret traverse and shell velocity.
Good handling characteristics (rudder shift and turning radius).
Comes with at least one charge of Smoke Screen (two with premium).

Below average "alpha strike" damage.
Guns prone to getting knocked out or incapacitated.
Fairly large citadel protected by below average armor.
HE shell damage inferior to 155mm shells of Mogami.
AP shells have solid penetration capability against other cruisers, but are only useful against battleships at suicide range.

-One of the ships of the Project 68bis ''Sverdlov'' class, ''Mikhail Kutuzov'' is one of the most impressive cruisers ever released into the game. Sporting twelve 152mm guns and a very solid AA suite, she operates as a second line support ship without getting up close and personal with her peers while providing supporting fire herself. Her AA suite is no slouch as with the [[Ship:Consumables#Defensive_AA_Fire|Defensive AA Fire]] consumable, the cruiser can literally shred enemy aircraft two tiers higher than her. One thing to note that aside from [[Ship:Iwaki_Alpha|''Iwaki Alpha'']] and the old ''Kitakami'', she's one of the few non-destroyers that has access to the [[Ship:Consumables#Smoke_Screen|Smoke Screen consumable]] which is useful in many ways. She has her downsides, however, as she is very easily to citadel and her guns occasionally get incapacitated to outright knocked out. Play her well and she will serve as an asset you will be surprised in gaining.
