Minsk — Soviet Tier VII destroyer.
This ship was developed as part of a series of Soviet destroyer flotilla leaders created under Project 38. She was built as a modified version of the destroyer leader Leningrad, retaining the same distinctive features like powerful artillery and a very high speed.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Strong guns.
- High top speed.
- Torpedoes good for close combat.
Cons:
- Short range torpedoes.
- Large detection radius.
Research
- Quickly research either the (B) Hull for better rudder shift and increased health pool or research the Gun Fire Control System VI mod. 2 for better range, then research the other.
- Finally, research the torpedoes, as they lead to the branched line of VMF destroyers that have access to Defensive Fire consumable in exchange for Engine Boost consumable. Otherwise, the player can skip the upgraded torpedoes and research Kiev.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As a Tier VII destroyer with access to four upgrade slots, it's best to mount the following upgrades:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1.
- Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1.
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 (as it relies heavily on its speed as a secondary defense to incoming enemy shells).
- Slot 5: Steering Gears Modification 2 (for better evasion capabilities by "wiggling" the ship).
If the player has one of the rare Engine Boost Modification upgrades and has the Sierra Mike signal equipped, it is worthwhile to replace the Propulsion Modification 1 upgrade, as it extends your Engine Boost consumable duration by 50%, thereby allowing you to maintain a max speed of 48.8 kts for three minutes.

Consumables
As a Tier VII VMF destroyer, Minsk has access to the following standard destroyer consumables:
It is highly recommended to at least mount the premium Engine Boost II consumable to better effectively utilize Minsk's speed, as it has a fantastic base speed of 43 kts and is easily the fastest ship at Tier VII alongside its premium sister ship Leningrad.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons and are planning to keep the ship are recommended to equip Minsk with the permanent Type 17 camouflage rather than the pay-per-battle premium Type 6 camouflage as the permanent Type 17 lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces cost of repairs, and increases the amount of experience she earns. The premium Type 6, unlike the permanent Type 20, does not provide repair cost reduction benefits.
