Player Opinion
Performance
What can be said as the first "speedboat with guns", the Kiev is a particularly interesting destroyer that may leave you with few things to be impressed with. As she is fast, to be precise with flank speed that reaches nearly 43 knots and nearing 50 knots if given speed boost and speed flags, the Kiev can reach capture zones first and loiter around to pounce any destroyer nearby to destroy them with her impressive guns as well as surprising cruisers with sudden shells of AP which can at times punch through their armor if aimed right or even give battleships a target that will fray their nerves as you continuously fire and burn them. However, she is fairly easy to see at 9km first and despite her sound ergonomics, her torpedoes leave much to be desired as both are at the same range with the upgraded variant being more of a sidegrade as you sacrifice a bit of speed for additional damage and getting to its close effective firing range means you are going on a suicidal torpedo run.
Pros
- Good set of 130mm guns
- Blisteringly fast speed
- Reasonable ergonomics
- Very fast stock torpedoes
Cons
- Short torpedo range
- Upgraded torpedo sacrifices speed for marginal damage
- High detection range for a destroyer
- Turning bleeds speed fast
