Why is the Kronshtadt so obviously broken and over powered? it one taps every BB it fights regardless of health or angling, it takes half a dozen other BB’s all pummeling it to even stand a chance of killing it before it kills all half dozen of the ships shooting it, People complained about the Scharnhorst, but this Kronshtadt is the true abomination in Naval. it needs a serious nerf or a big repair cost increase, probably both.

I tend to agree with you, but still think that Scharnhorst is the most moronic vessel right now. In my experience though players with Kronshtadt don´t yolo into the enemy like Scharnhorsts very often do. So the russian OP-ship might seem stronger because of being more carefully played. But yes, both are a real pest for the game.

I was in a RB match in my kron and the match eventually developed into me, a teamate, and a enemy scharn, I nearly emptied my magazines on the scarb and he didnt go down, eventually he killed my teamate who respawned in a bomber and killed the scarn with some bombs
But you didn’t go down either, did you?
Nope, although i was sinking at 42% with 34% crew and he was not sinking and has 60% crew, he did not engage first.

Well, perhaps it"s fair that another nation other than russia has a broken OP vehicle for once. The Kronshtadt is still busted though.
Well at least her ammo is not something invincible like Scharnhorst now. Angling Kronshtadt is quite annoying but it is something that could be done by many other ships. Her firepower when face as enemy is marvelous but as a player who plays every nation I would prefer Scharnhorst for its overall harmonry of firepower and survivability.

I play all nations as well, kinda have to so you can understand strengths and weakness of ships you fight.
Can gaijin explain up why for a 305 mm there is 695mm pen meanwhile US 305 have 622 mm ?
Then, can gaijin explain us why this ship is 41540 with huge horse power that allow to back and forward very easily meanwhile alaska 34253t cannot do same ?
Imaginary stats in game for russians are really anoying
For gun wise, drag mechanism applies advantage on heavy shell or faster velocity. Thus, Kronshtadt, which satisfied both, having huge advantage.
For mobility wise, while Alaska is limited to -18 km/h like other US capital ships, Kronshtadt has better power to weight ratio(5.05 vs 4.37), which is not shown in game. Actually, if Kronshtadt’s engine is set on the maximum output ingame, 231,000 shp, then it would be 5.56, though skeptical as Gaijin is quite conservative about interpreting soviet naval big guns and engines.
