Kremlin

[Lyfe]

My suggestion to every new or old player is to NEVER research Kremlin and NEVER spend money on it. It's younger brother the tier VIII Vladivostok is OP for its tier and brutal against Kremlin. I personally love the shape of the ship and it's low detectability, but where it dissapoints a player is at the accuracy of the shells. First of Kremlin has 20km range only. Secondly the shells will be landing in the sea even if the target will stand still. + all the overpens you will begin to love... I have 1,2 million base xp on yamato and kurfurst and believe me, I have NEVER been that dissapointed at a ship such as that one. I really want to hear it from the developers why they weakened Kremlin so much and made it useless.

It was introduced quite over-powered and it kept getting small nerfs until it was brought in line with expectations. Currently it's running a 51% winrate which is more than acceptable. It's average damage is low, but it's got incredibly good armor which helps it's survive-ability.

It is designed to play mid range, not long, hence the lack of range. It's also got odd accuracy that's unique to Soviet battleships. It's more accurate close up, and less accurate further away in comparison to other nationalities.

It's not my favorite by a long shot either, but it certainly performs well enough for those that like it's play style and play accordingly.

Just thought I'd add something. I noticed in other posts you really like Yamato.

Kremlin is basically the opposite of Yamato. Yamato has very accurate long range guns. Kremlin does not. Yamato has good armor overall, but has a very glaring weak spot that almost everyone knows how to exploit at this point for a high probability citadel in the cheeks. Kremlin has a very strong bow that's very difficult to over-match.

Kremlin is still one of the top picks for T10 BBs. The nerfs were pretty marginal (would have to double check but seem to remember it was stuff like small reductions in AA power etc) and it kept its signature characteristics - being incredibly tanky (especially bow on) and having very dangerous main guns at medium - close range with very flat ballistics and fast shells. As above, its not really designed to sit on the backline so comparing it to Yamato isnt really that relevant.

I would agree the 8 and 9 are stronger when compared to their direct competition, but Kremlin being more balanced against the other 10s is surely not a bad thing.

Have to add that "incredibly tanky" only goes so far and when misplayed it will die like anything. Remember deleting one in Novosibirsk with a couple of volleys when the Kremlin player decided it would be a good idea to sail out side on from an island 2km in front of me. 9 cits later and no more Kremlin :)

Biggest downside to Kremlin is that, you get hit by two salvoes of HE, you've already lost 90% of your AA armament and are just a sitting duck for every carrier and hybrid in the battle.

Now please, any New or Old players who find this post please remember the Kremlin is Still one of the viable picks in Tier 10 Competitive gaming such as Clan Battles, her nose is incredibly strong and her icebreaker means nothing can overmatch her nose, yes she burns and yes she loses AA at an Alarming rate (thankfully CB's currently and other comps don't allow CV's), but she can tank an awful lot when nose in, she cannot Snipe but her accuracy increases massively around the 12-13km and under mark, meaning she needs to literally ........ quarter speed in with some speed dukes for Torps and be the punch bag!

While she is tanking and taking the beating, the rest of your team needs to be killing key targets!!
