Leningrad — Soviet premium Tier VII destroyer.
The first major warship completely designed and built in the USSR. The ship was notable for her powerful artillery and very high speed. During World War II, her AA defenses were reinforced.
Leningrad first went on sale on 10 October 2016 on the NA servers, and on 5 October 2016 on the EU servers.

Player Opinion
Performance
Leningrad may initially seem like a Tier VII Gremyashchy with an extra gun and quadruple torpedo launchers (instead of triples). Her 43 knot top speed (reaching nearly 46 knots with Engine Boost active) means she can avoid some incoming fire by simply outrunning it, and her high velocity guns give her the ability to pepper targets at range where she can not be reliably hit. However, she has a much wider turning circle in exchange for her higher top speed, causing her to drift when turning. This can sometimes lead to accidentally hitting torpedoes her captain thought they had dodged.
Her torpedoes are more powerful than Gremyashchy’s, with 700 more damage and 5 knots faster speed in exchange for a longer reload due to the quad mount launchers. The main battery guns are in an odd layout, with an anti-aircraft mount blocking the rearmost gun from firing aft, and the third gun located aft of the bridge; in order to fire all her main battery weapons simultaneously, Leningrad needs to expose a great deal of herself to return fire.
Overall, Leningrad trades a worse gun layout from the regular tech tree Tier VII destroyer Kiev for better torpedoes, making her an interesting hybrid playstyle ship, able to both function as both gunboat and torpedo boat depending on what the situation calls for.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Leningrad from the NA forums
Pros:
- Relatively good firing angles.
- Good main battery rate of fire and shell velocity like all other Russian destroyers.
- Fastest destroyer in her tier: a whopping 43 knots.
- Great rudder shift and handling characteristics for a Russian destroyer.
- Decent concealment, identical to Tier VII USN premium destroyer Sims.
- Good torpedoes; can fire torpedoes from beyond her detection radius, similar to Gremyashchy.
Cons:
- Typically large turning radius for a Russian destroyer.
- Cannot easily stealth-fire.
- Anti-aircraft armament is underwhelming. Don't expect to shoot down any planes.
- Poor turret traverse, only slightly better than Tier VII Japanese counterpart Shiratsuyu.
- Insane ship drift at mid-to-high speeds while turning, even when slowing down.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
With only four upgrade slots to fill, there isn't a lot of variety of choice for fitting out Leningrad. Main Armaments Modification 1 is the natural pick for Upgrade Slot 1; for Upgrade Slot 2, the choice boils down to captain's preference between Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve the accuracy of her main battery, or Main Battery Modification 2 for faster turret rotation. Captains who have opted for Last Stand over Expert Marksman as a Tier 2 commander's skill will probably want the latter.
Remaining upgrade slots are best used for Propulsion Modifications 1 and 2, in order to increase the reliability of her engines. Leningrad is dependent upon her speed for defense; these two mods help contribute to her survivability in that regard.
Commander Skills
Like her tech tree cousins, Leningrad plays more like a light cruiser than a destroyer. She will greatly prefer to hold enemies at arms' length when possible, maximizing the accuracy, muzzle velocity, and user-friendly firing arcs of her main battery. Captains will want to focus their skill points on improving her main battery and maximizing her survivability.

Consumables
Keeping Leningrad’s engine in working order is paramount to her survival; captains are strongly recommended to spend the credits (or doubloons) on Damage Control Party II for the reduced cooldown on repairs.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Leningrad comes with Type 10 camouflage that provides her with a buff to her concealment, a debuff to incoming shell accuracy, and increased experience gain.Gallery
