Special

Mikoyan — Soviet special premium Tier V cruiser.

In the summer of 1932, a Soviet commission was sent to Italy as part of naval cooperation to find a ship that would become the basis for a Soviet light cruiser project. Raimondo Montecuccoli was chosen as the prototype. The first draft design based on this ship provided six 180 mm guns. Eventually, the development of this project led to the emergence of the Project 26 cruiser.

Player Opinion

Performance

The Mikoyan can be quite troublesome to play with without knowing its strengths. Unlike most lightly armed soviet cruiser it has an anemic 6 guns and a long reload of 13 seconds. In comparison the Kotovosky has 8 guns with 10 second reload, making it the better fire starter. However, the ship is highly manuverable for its tier, allowing the player to easily angle the ship back and forth to use all of her guns. The bread and butter of the ship is her 180mm AP shells with great ballistics. Combined with the spotting plane, you can citadel broadsiding cruisers more than 16kms away. Using the ships's speed and maneuverability, it is imperative to catch enemy cruisers off guard at long distances. The ship has practically paper for armour and will be devastated if shown even the slightest broadside to enemey ships. So, play the ship safely at long distances. HE will be useful for nose in BBs, but won't burn them to death. Try to use the concealment and speed to flank them and use AP. Overall, it is a very thinly armoured ship with anemic guns but good long range AP.

.

Pros:

Powerful AP shells with good damage and very high penetration
Fairly comfortable ballistics, high shell velocity and flat arcs
Equipped with torpedoes with very wide firing arcs
High top speed and good rudder shift
Excellent main battery range, which can be further improved with the Spotting Aircraft  consumable
Good concealment

Cons:

Only six guns with a long reload, poor DPM
Bad dispersion hampers ranged gunnery
Hilariously poor armor, the citadel belt is only 35mm thick and rises above the waterline
Very low hitpoint pool
Very weak and short ranged AA suite
Torpedoes are very short ranged
Massive turn radius, Mikoyan bleeds a lot of speed during hard turns
