Player Opinion
Performance
Being the last step before the Tier X ship Kremlin, ' continues the gameplay of Vladivostok and will feel comfortable in the hands of those that also enjoyed the Tier VIII.
One of s key strength continues to be her main armament at medium to close ranges, where she can accurately nail targets that were overconfident and opened up at the wrong time. A fast charging Damage Control Party ensures that she can withstand Damage over Time for a short period, however the finite charges can betray the captain and leave ' helpless towards Damage over Time. For that reason alone is the usage of Superintendent and Premium Damage Control Party a fundamental part of every successful '-build. Keeping an angle with ' is essential, as her citadel extends well above the waterline.
What this means is that the captain must choose the correct location and time to exercise a push, which then gets executed in full strength. Assistance through teammates will help overwhelming enemy forces, but a careful eye must be kept on the surroundings to prevent shots to hit the unangled side of '.Pros:
- Shares the good medium to close range accuracy of her predecessors
- Main guns hit hard, when they hit
- Continues the trend of strong internal bow armor, making citadels from Yamato and Musashi through the bow very difficult
- 60mm upper deck allows ' to shatter almost all cruiser HE shells
- Rapid cooldown Damage Control Party
- Large hitpool
Cons:
- Elevated citadel which is prone to hits when ' is not properly angled
- Tapered belt design provides minimal protection against opponent battleships but does fuse their shells
- Anti-Air-Defense does not get noticeably improved over Vladivostok, making her very prone to airstrikes
- Large turning circle
- Limited charges of her Damage Control Party
- At longer ranges, ' struggles to land meaningful hits
- Short ranged for a Tier IX battleship
- Main battery turrets get knocked out often
- Relatively slow for a Tier IX battleship
- Underwhelming secondary armament

Players must be mindful that while the damage control team responds quickly, it can handle a limited number of incidents before becoming exhausted.
Camouflage
As a Tech Tree ship, ' does not come with a permanent camouflage out of the box. However, if the player so wishes she can be equipped with a Type 19 camouflage that reduces her concealment, increases the dispersion of incoming shells, increases the XP gain by 100% and reduces the service cost by -20%.
