Krasny Krym — Soviet special premium Tier V cruiser.
A light cruiser designed in the 1910s and armed with multiple main guns of a relatively small caliber. By the end of World War II she underwent an upgrade to obtain powerful AA defense and an improved gun fire control system. The ship, however, was inferior to her contemporary ships in speed.
Krasny Krym first went on sale on 18 July 2016 on the NA servers, and on 16 July 2016 on the EU servers.

Player Opinion
Performance
Krasny Krym is a Tier V Russian cruiser that is similar to Tier IV sister-ship Svietlana in many ways, except she is up-tiered to Tier V. It's unfortunate, then, that she is relatively weak when compared to the other Tier V cruisers. Her guns, while adequate at Tier IV, are underpowered at Tier V unless shooting destroyers; with her large detection radius, however, she will have a hard time getting into range of destroyers in order to shoot them. Her torpedoes only reach out to 5.0 km and she has but one triple launcher per side, making them more of an afterthought than a viable weapon. Though they can get a bit of last ditch damage on somebody, don't expect them to save her versus something with a lot of HP at close range.
Krasny Krym is a great ship play behind islands to save her hitpoints for the late game. She can further such a strategy by training Basic Firing Training and Advanced Firing Training on her commander. Another option is to set her up as a destroyer flotilla leader and sail close to friendly destroyers to provide them with fire support against enemy cruisers and destroyers.
Pros:
- Decent armor.
- Large broadside.
- Fast torpedoes.
- 130mm main battery can take advantage of Basic Firing Training, Expert Marksman, and Advanced Firing Training commander skills.
- Smallest turning radius of all Tier V cruisers.
- Excellent torpedo firing arcs as well as longer range than most Russian torpedoes around her tier.
Cons:
- Poor turret traverse for 130mm.
- Fairly slow rate of fire.
- Poor concealment.
- Second lowest HP of all Tier V cruisers.
- Poor rudder shift.
