''Shchors'' is widely regarded as a moderate upgrade from ''[[Budyonny]]'', featuring one more turret and more hit points. She even has less armor in some aspects compared to ''Budyonny'', losing citadel armor for more even plating across the ship. Compared to its opponents at Tier VII, it features more range than the others besides ''[[Yorck]]''. However, having 6-inch guns at a tier where heavy cruisers start to become dominant is a serious drawback, because ''Shchors''’ armor is already weak enough to make it vulnerable to even destroyer-caliber shells. In addition, ''Shchors'' shares the common "odd citadel" all Russian cruisers have, which makes the citadel rise high out of the water and makes over-penetrations more likely. | ''Shchors'' is widely regarded as a moderate upgrade from ''[[Budyonny]]'', featuring one more turret and more hit points.

Based upon a lengthened Kirov hull, she was to be equipped with 152mm/57 guns over the 180mm/57 guns of her predecessor. This is due to a prioritization of fire rate over damage and to make the ship a light cruiser under the London Naval Treaty of 1936, which the USSR had been considering signing. Five ships were planned to built over a period of ten years; two were to go to the Northern flotilla and the other three were to go to the Baltic fleet. Development began in July 1936 and was headed by the Leningrad Design Institute. A preliminary draft was completed by June 1937, but the project was cancelled on October 1, 1937 in favor of the Project 68, which became the ''[[Chapayev]]'' class. | |

Shchors — Soviet Tier VII cruiser.
This ship was designed as a light "squadron escorting" cruiser (Project 28). She boasted high speed and powerful artillery but her armor protection was inferior that of her foreign contemporaries.

Shchors is widely regarded as a moderate upgrade from Budyonny, featuring one more turret and more hit points. She even has less armor in some aspects compared to Budyonny, losing citadel armor for more even plating across the ship. Compared to its opponents at Tier VII, it features more range than the others besides Yorck. However, having 6-inch guns at a tier where heavy cruisers start to become dominant is a serious drawback, because Shchors’ armor is already weak enough to make it vulnerable to even destroyer-caliber shells. In addition, Shchors shares the common "odd citadel" all Russian cruisers have, which makes the citadel rise high out of the water and makes over-penetrations more likely.
Essentially, think of Shchors as a rapid-fire sniper that will be punished for closing to medium range of almost any other ship.Pros:
- Rather odd citadel location and weak armor can be a perk to avoid being flattened by battleships; many shells will over penetrate.
- Long range (16.8 km) that can be extended to over 20 km with a Spotting Aircraft
.
- Rapid-fire guns that can lay down constant fire on targets.
- High explosive shells can set fires reliably due to 12% fire chance and high rate of fire.
- Fast speed at 35.5 knots.
Cons:
- Pathetic armor protection; will take large amounts of damage from almost any shells fired at it.
- Armor piercing rounds don't perform all that well against other cruisers.
- Torpedoes only have a 4km range.
- Horrid anti-aircraft suite for a Tier VII cruiser.
- Huge turning radius of a whopping 900 meters (even larger than most battleships!)
- Large detection radius.
