Player Opinion

Pros:

Twelve long range, high velocity 152mm guns.
One quintuple-tube torpedo launchers on each side with, long range, and stealthy torpedoes.
Solid anti-aircraft suite.
Equips the Torpedo Reload Booster  consumable for quickly reloading her torpedoes.
Good base 12% fire chance on HE shells.

Cons:

Requires IFHE to deal direct damage to 32mm plating.
Lacks the vision-obscuring smoke of sister ship Mikhail Kutuzov and her smoke.
Very lightly armored; capable of taking damage from nearly any angle.
Ballistic performance of her guns makes utilizing islands as cover difficult.
Rudder shift time is very sub-par for her tier; as a result, she handles somewhat sluggishly.
