Player Opinion
Performance
Oleg is a Tier III premium Russian cruiser. She shares many traits with her tech tree counterpart Bogatyr, given that they are the same class. Her 152mm guns — and their arrangement — are identical to Bogatyr, along with her speed and mobility, making her playstyle very similar and in line with the other Tier III cruisers.
Pros:
- More health points than her tech tree counterpart, Bogatyr.
- Plenty of guns (on both sides).
Cons:
- Main battery cannot take advantage of commander skills Basic Firing Training or Advanced Firing Training; Expert Marksman is similarly less advantageous.
- Still has less health points than St. Louis.
- High shell arcs, which makes aiming at agile ships at maximum range difficult.
- Slow for a cruiser.
