Great game Spartan. I was Not going to get this ship as all the other Russian cruisers are terrible. But l think I'll be getting this ship after watching this game play. I didn't realize it had such great range. Thanks Spartan. Aussie Scott.

Actually, I’m that guy that sets fires constantly. There is NOTHING more satisfying than settling a nice fat BB on fire, watching him use his damage control, then starting him on fire again. If you have good awareness, you can get 2, 3, or even 4 ships burning at once. Then throw 10 km or 11 km torps from tha Atago or Mogami into that confusion, and enjoy the show!! Japanese cruisers should be illegal. This one looks pretty amazing. Can’t wait to burn those potatoes on the edge of the map!!
was wondering about the captain's skill "equilibrium of power" where you trade HE damage for penetration. first question: is this anyhow related to chance of setting fires? my thought was, with this kind of ship you're hitting deck armor and superstructures mainly, so penetration is not so much important? plus higher damage gives you higher chance of setting fires and module damage? or is this total crap??? (i am a noob, but willing to learn lol) thx
tripLectro its an OP skill. No, nothing to do with fires, but you’ll be hitting 32 mm of playing most of the time and you can only pen that with this skill equipped. You’re doing pen damage and fire damage now instead of just fire damage.
Amount of damage has nothing to do with fires. You can do 0 damage (a shatter) and still set a fire. Module damage is similar as you don’t need to hit the module to damage it with HE
@@RoloC4 thank you for your explanation, Rolo! wow, the skill way more stronger than i thought. for damage -/ fire, i guess i got something wrong there.. thx again for clarification
I'm glad this ship has come. Yes it's annoying being burned a lot and I play a lot of bb's so I should know. It's far less annoying than Jean Barts reversing themselves out of the bloody game and this seems a natural counter for that.
And the campaign is very reasonable. Finish the endurance trials and you can finish shakedown in no time. I’ve never been finished with a weekly havoc so quickly.
James Bond I played 6 games last night and was 1st in 3 of them and 2nd in 2 and 3rd in one. It’s usually not too time intensive for me, but it’s just annoying when you’re playing fairly well and you just miss out on that placement you need and it was a waste
Only into the first three cruisers but I didn't have to sell all my other ships, my children or my coin collection. Ak's, Migs and Cruisers got done on the cheap and I'm ok with that.
Mby im wrong, but reload speed is always great, no matter your rate of fire. 10% fast reload speed will always boost your damage 10% if you fire non-stop over a long period of time. I use the Commander-Fire perks and skip the 10% range boost on ru cc, because the range is long enough on this ship IMO. 19 km is great, but you realy ever make use of it anyway.
Yep, i got moaned at for camping behind an island in a Stock Kirov yesterday damage farming, i got out too late and got taken out but had 50k HE Damage. I got 4 Dislikes on that video (so i removed it as felt like my reply was a bit harsh) but noticing more people are disliking my content lately (Normally i may get 1 like, 0 dislikes at best). Later i realised Kirov is a mini Baltimore firing AP at Cruiser Broadside (Jarhead said he Citadeled a New York).
Dont forget guys Kirov and Budyonny are flame throwers, they have good AP but the HE is better....unless Legends dev's went a different route vs PC Ruski cruisers
I'm a newer player in a sense. How do I get this ship? Why did they flood the game with premium ships in like the first 6 to 8 months? I would like to take part in the campaign for this ship. The game is like a year old why can't I? What do they have to offer me as a new player? All the bette ships in the game were handed out like 6 months in
This is calculated without the flammable cannonier trait most battleships run. If they have the flammable cannonier trait your chance of getting a fire would be 82.6%
Insert Flambass's reaction to the new Russian Tier X cruiser here. I'm sorry but no cruiser especially with 152's should have 16km base range. The fact this cruiser out ranges 203's and 210's makes me cry. I'mma call this ship the Smolensk of console.
Do you get free promotional orders, and premium time, as it seems to go up all of a sudden? Then again your vids are probably not filmed in order so forget what I just asked. 😂
The Kutuzov is so powerful that I barely play her as I feel that its an unfair advantage. I love setting fires, but the Kutuzov almost takes the sport out of the game because you destroy whomever you have in your crosshairs. What else can I say but the Kutuzov is the best ship in the entire game.
Players who dont like firestarters and say it takes no skill are battleship captains. Befor firestarters were a thing everyone said the same about battleship captains who were just on the edge of the map picking of ships with their range and huge guns 😂
This ship should not be in the game. It's not even remotely a counterpart to any of the other tier-7 cruisers. Mogami, entered service 1935. Hipper, entered service 1939. USS Baltimore, entered service 1943. HMS Minotaur, entered service 1944. *Kutuzov, entered service 1954!*
I dont have a problem with the year it went into service. As the only strength it has is range. and smoke. Its armor isnt good the guns are only 152mm so it's not really much of an AP threat. Torps are only 8km so unlikely to use them without being blasted out of the water
@@SpartanElite43 That's kinda my point, though -- the ship is, technologically speaking, pretty superior to typical WWII cruisers. In-game, that manifests itself as a ship that has great ballistics (long-range and accurate shells) plus the advantage of a self-made smoke screen. And its armor may be "not good," but it's on par with the Hipper and the Baltimore, which are heavy cruisers. If they're going to introduce the Kutuzov, it should be a Tier 8. Otherwise the eventual introduction of the HMS Neptune, USS Des Moines, and other post-WWII ships would be in tier-7 also, which I'm not really a fan of.
Spartan Elite43 I mean it is OP, you got 19km range armor to withstand any cruiser if not broadside(even the Baltimore) and you got the best firechance for that caliber in the game, you shouldn’t be able to get 200K regularly in any cruiser in this cruiser it is quite easy
Spartan Elite43 nope because maybe they have got the highest dpm but they can’t use it all the time cause of their vulnerability but the Russian high tier cruiser are less vulnerable because of their longer range and they should have more shit armor to compensate for that in my opinion
So far I am hating the Russian ships, I have over 2k matches, I can do well in most ships but the tier 3 and 4 cruisers are terrible and the tier 4 destroyer feels like a want to be American destroyer with even worse torps
This is pay to win, period. Don't get me wrong, I'll get it. But most people who play don't have to time earn it or the money to pay for it. This is not good for the game.
Gameplay Starts at 12:56
Spartan where is the Kirov?
Spartan Elite43 this is a console Smolensk. Nice one war gaming
Spartan I really hope wargaming adds a Russian heavy cruiser and a heavy cruiser line
I've started thinking of this as the Tier 7 Atlanta 😂
Its worse than Atlanta because it has far superior range

Hey Spartan, GG! 15k subscribers Wow!
Hey good to see ya again and thanks
The difference between heavy and light cruisers is the caliber of the guns, not the armor.
Quick question since the Scharnhorst has a small caliber gun and torpedoes should I play it like a heavy cruiser?
You can be more aggressive in it as it has some of th ed best armor in the game plus good secondaries

Fire chance is it's own separate factor of HE.
Penetration on HE determines whether you do full, partial damage or shatter the shell on the armor
Got one in a Santa crate the other day and so far, I like it....a lot.
I normally use my damage con on 2 fires sometimes 3 depending how much HE is coming my way
I tro to do soo but i don’t feel confortable with my repair party, maybe its me but I don’t feel that de repair is able to counter the fires alone
Gun caliber dictates whether a ship is a heavy cruiser or a light cruiser, not the armor. 203mm guns equal heavy cruiser.
I have the Chapayev and that thing has 11.7km radar! Insane!
Damn so radar that is even better than the American 9km

Isn’t damage saturation a thing with HE you keep firing at the superstructure and it reduces damage considerably?
Paul Schauer damage saturation happens with AP as well - but at least with HE you can get fires which don’t care about saturation
Correct damage saturation does occur however when trying to set fires you dont re as ally care about damage each shell does
Light cruisers have guns under 200mm heavy cruisers are 200mm and up
I've had 16 fires set once or twice in my Atago
IJN HE is best in game but this thing is great

12% chance of setting a fire times 12 shots that's 144% per Salvo right? 🤣
At least in my head it makes sense
Lol probability doesnt quite work that way but it sure seems like it sets fires most of the time
I think its 78% if i didnt make an calculation error + ships have fire defence, so f.e. i think battelships have an ~ 25% check for fire
