Udaloi — Soviet Tier IX destroyer.
The most advanced Soviet destroyer among those designed before 1941 (Project 35). Udaloi was large in size and could run at a very high speed for this type of ship. In terms of the power of her main guns, she outclassed most of her foreign counterparts.

Player Opinion
Performance
What can be described as an Ognevoi, Kiev, and Tashkent facemelting, Udaloi is a fairly newer shift in Russian destroyer ergonomics. Sporting dual mounts in the same AB-X layout and fairly decent torpedoes, this destroyer leans more to her guns than to her torpedoes that are used for harassing runs to scare off, if not outright severely damage, the occasional player that does not know any better or was too careless. Due to this, Udaloi can repeatedly kite ships that have a hard time beading on her due to the fast speed she can reach and as a destroyer that leans on guns more than torpedoes, she can be an effective counter to Fletcher or Yugumo in the thick of melée or in range gunnery duels. An interesting thing about this destroyer is that her AA suite when fully kitted is fairly equivalent to a light cruiser's.
However, she is not without her drawbacks. Similar to her Russian predecessors her torpedo speed leaves something to be desired and the detection rating of the ship itself is quite poor for a destroyer. Her maneuverability is also lacking, but this can be compensated for with the appropriate upgrades (see below).Pros:
- Good HE and AP shells, usable against all targets regardless of class
- Good rate of fire and fast main battery traverse speed
- Heavy torpedo armament - three quintuple launchers with decent speed, range and damage
- Good ship speed of 40 knots
- Decent AA suite, bolstered by the Defensive AA Fire consumable
- Access to the Repair Party consumable
Cons:
- Large ship with bad concealment
- Large turn radius and slow rudder shift for a destroyer
- Long torpedo reload time
- Fairly low hitpoint pool compared to techtree counterpart Tashkent
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Udaloi are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1
- Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3
Captains who have one of the rare Engine Boost Modification 1 upgrades and have the Sierra Mike () signal equipped are encouraged to replace the Propulsion Modification 1 upgrade, as it extends the Engine Boost consumable duration by 50%, thereby allowing Udaloi to maintain a max speed of 45.4 knots for three minutes.
Commander Skills
For Level 1, the best option to choose is Preventative Maintenance, as it will reduce the chance of module incapacitations; something that is critical for the survivability of Destroyers. Likewise, Priority Target is a good choice as well, as it can relay information to the Captain on how many enemies are targeting the ship.
At Level 2, the best option to choose is Last Stand, as it still allows for engines and rudders to be functional even when incapacitated. This increases survivability, and stacks well with Preventative Maintenance. Adrenaline Rush is another good choice; it will increase rate of fire when the ship is under attack.
Superintendent is a solid choice at Level 3, as it allows for more extra charges of consumables to be taken; which are always beneficial to have on hand. Other viable choices include Demolition Expert, to increase Fire Chance of HE Shells; or Basic Firing Training, to increase rate of fire of main artillery.
For Level 4, the most dependable choice is Concealment Expert, to decrease the detection range of the ship and allow it to approach enemies undetected. Alternatively, Advanced Firing Training is a solid choice, as it increases the range of main artillery and stacks well with Basic Firing Training; or opt to choose Inertia Fuse for HE Shells, which increases the penetration of HE shells, and stacks well with Demolition Expert.

Consumables
Udaloi can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
- Slot 4: Repair Party
- Slot 4: Defensive AA Fire
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Udaloi with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Captains should mount India Yankee () to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot () to decrease reload time of consumables, and Sierra Mike () to increase ships maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone () to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie () to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima () and India X-Ray () to increase fire chance to HE shells.
