Podvoisky — Soviet Tier V destroyer.
One of the draft designs for the first destroyer flotilla leaders in the U.S.S.R. Unlike destroyers built during the pre-revolutionary period, this ship had greater dimensions, a higher speed and more powerful artillery. Apart from that, she carried torpedoes of a larger caliber.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Extremely fast.
- HE shells have decent fire chance and hit hard.
- All guns have 360 degree traverse.
- Guns have very good firing angles.
Cons:
- Very poor stealth;
- Slow rate of fire.
- Very short range torpedoes.
- Fairly large turning circle.
- Short firing range.
- Rudder shift is on the slower side for Tier V
Research
- Quickly research to Gun Fire Control System V mod. 2 for better range, as the Podvoisky has rather somewhat anemic range and it is vital for the player to keep their distance if they want to survive longer. If the player does not yet have Advanced Firing Training skill, then this module upgrade is a must.
- Then upgrade to the (B) Hull for increased health pool and better maneuverability, as your speed combined with your rudder shift will help you better dodge incoming enemy fire.
- Upgraded torpedoes are optional, as they only increase in speed by one knot. Players low on credits are free to skip this module upgrade as it is not a necessary component towards researching and unlocking Gnevny

Consumables
Podvoisky can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons for faster XP gain can choose to equip the Type 6 camouflage, which gives a huge XP bonus to the player per battle.
Signals
It is highly recommended to at least mount the Sierra Mike signal to boost Podvoisky's base speed to 44.1 kts, which then combined with Engine Boost consumable can push the ship up to a max of 47.6 kts. Additionally, Victor Lima, India X-Ray, and Juliet Charlie are recommended to increase fire chance (+3% chance when combined with Demolition Expert skill) as well as to protect the player from being detonated. Furthermore, as the ship is very fast for Tier V, the player may find themselves charging an enemy battleship and have to ram the enemy ship, in which Hotel Yankee signal can be very useful. Equal Speed Charlie London, Zulu Hotel, and Dragon Flag will help boost the player's XP gain per battle and speed up their commander (re)training.
