To say this… ‘THING’ is overpowered is an understatement. I saw one 1 vs 3 against a Yamato, Iowa, and Bismarck and come out on top. It is ridiculous. I had a match earlier against not one, not two, but four of these monstrosities and got absolutely wiped considering they usually one or two salvoed any ship on my team. Why would you forsake naval gaijin. You wanted it to die, well it will now because unless you play soviets naval is near unplayable with the Soyuz running around. Also before someone closes my post saying “oh you are just ranting” play 7.7 naval and up and fight this thing and you will see why I want this thing removed.

I’m still grinding for my Bismarck rn but it is proving to be difficult with all the sovetsky soyuz spam considering they keep nuking my teams.

"A simple question: How does this unfinished prototype — a ship even the Soviets themselves hated for its subpar hull quality and laughably short barrel life — crush mature American and Japanese designs?**
I propose renaming it ‘Admiral Vyacheslav Barannikov’ — an eternal tribute to the Slavs’ inexplicable superiority complex."

Nah it ouughta be called the Eternity but in Russian because it doesn’t die for some reason. I don’t fear yamatos because I can at least kill them potentially with the Bismarck, or even a scharnhorst. The Soyuz on the other hand, yeah no, impossible.

Isnt it 8.7 how are you even seeing it? Or is 7.7 already getting sucked up to 8.7 every match lol.

7.7 gets sucked to 8.7 due to Yamato and Soyuz spam.
Thats rough
Well this was eminently predictable.

Very much so. Even a stock Soyuz can one tap an Iowa or Bismarck or even a Yamato when it pens because of the unholy amount of explosives in the SAP.

Sadly, going by past form, expect fixes in 6 to 12 months.
It always makes me giggle seeing the Soviets portrayed as a great naval power in this game. It’s really quite sad.

Or never when it comes to Soviet naval. We got the Kronstadt and it is still a beast whenever it doesn’t get ammo detonated(not common when I fight them)
Soyuz will be Kronstadt 2.0
They’re just ignoring anything we say about this ship. Covering their ears and going “lalala” just so the paper ship can rule naval top tier.
Another thing I didn’t notice before, did they increase repair costs for ships? Why almost all ships ranks V+ now cost 30-35k to repair? So you die twice and you’re met with a 70k repair cost now?

They did so because premium account holders don’t pay repair cost
I hope you’re just pointing that out and not trying to justify it
Yeah I’m not trying to justify it. I am just saying they are probably trying to get more people to buy premium account.

It’s glorious the way it should be
To be fair they’ve been ignoring everything the naval community has said about the major naval changes since last year, and are continuing to do so. Nothing is new in this regard.

It SHOULD HAVE been. IF the great purge didn’t purge a bunch of capable engineers with it, IF soviet industry could actually build something like that when the heaviest ship they managed to build from scratch was the 9k ton Kirov class, IF they had experience building anything like that, IF, IF, IF, IF, IF
Get that ship off the game or at the very least make it slightly realistic. What next, Imperial Star Destroyers for USSR only?
