The developers want to increase the BR of the Folaga and Albatros, but keep the Russian OP ships still at their low BR as SKR-7 and SKR-1 the balance is totally unbalanced towards the Russian ships

Adding Moffetts to that will make it worse.

Nope since it is not a significant change

Wrong, SKR has always been an OP ship but with the latest upgrades to HE it is even more powerful.

This ship at BR 4.3 is OP.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is most likely someone who knows very well that it is OP and wants to keep it that way.

If you’re far enough away, the rockets will wipe you out, and if you’re closer, say goodbye to your guns as they take out the rest of you. And it feels a lot heavier than something like this should be.

Honestly, this thing is one of the big reasons why people don’t persevere with naval. It’s not exactly fun to go in and get slapped around by some clubber in this OP thing.

Latest changes to HE made it very fragile. If you can aim well you can easily dismanle it with few shots at long range.

I dont expect your delusions to accept this but skr is no longer deserving of 4.7. Every 4.7 deals with it with ease.

You haven’t played the SKR-7 and it shows.
SKR-7 was OP, today it’s a rather middle 4.3.
I’d rather be in a 4.3 destroyer than SKR-7 cause the destroyers have superior survivability along with firepower.
SKR has been corrected 3 times:
Its guns overheat easily, low-ammo supply, and only a 7 - 8km range down from 10km previously.

Rockets have a range of 1.5km, they’re very much not long range.

It has been at 4.3 for a year, at least

Thanks for the assistance.

I hold no issue with you, but what I do have issue with is insisting on being right despite all the evidence provided being to the contrary. Which… you did. Go figure.

Also you admitted to flagging my post

When you were wrong, and admitted this less than 10 minutes later.

I beg your pardon?

You then stated the SKR-7 was 4.3. Which would imply the BR was 4.0.

So either you screwed up when typing that, or you lied. Pick your poison.

Therefore you should’ve had no issue with admitting that I was correct when I pointed out your error first time round… yet you didn’t.

You’re fooling nobody lad.

Akizuki’s better than SKR-7. Frank Knox, Z47, etc. Every 4.7 is superior to SKR.
As for 4.3s, HMAS Nepal, Koln, Pr206, and Z25 are all similar in performance if not slightly more.

So yeah, it’s not OP.

I kind of want Koln now, it’s a better SKR-7 but looks cooler.

Also, gonna correct you on this while I’m here. SKR-7 is fitted with the RBU-6000 Anti Submarine system. The number following the “RBU” denotes the range in metres. In this case, 6,000m is the longest range that the system can fire to according to the designation (the wikipedia article on it states that projectiles used by the Russian/Soviet Navy have only been used at ranges of 5,500m). War Thunder’s wiki does in fairness state that " you will struggle to hit anything over 3 km." (RBU-6000 - War Thunder Wiki)

However, that still means you are not correct. If it does so happen that it is incorrect in game, please refer (briefly) to the following pages:
Mirka-class frigate - Wikipedia
RBU-6000 - Wikipedia

By all means go into a match with the SKR and try to frag a 10km target with less than 50 rounds like people could 3 years ago.
SKRs are not a threat, you know where they are, and you out-range them with practically everything.

Obviously if ANY of the 4.3s are down-BR’d for a match and you’re in a 3.3, then you’re screwed.
SKR isn’t special, it’s one of half a dozen other vessels across multiple tech trees.

I have never read so much misinformation all at once… Luckily I don’t have to respond to your nonsense any further, as you have already been answered by several players making you realise how wrong you are on the subject.
Anyway have an optician check the SKR’s BR has been at BR 4.3 for a while now.

Thanks for proving my point, as I said before SKR is OP, anyone who tells you otherwise is most likely someone who knows very well that it is OP and wants to keep it that way.

lol The fact you claim all 4.3s are OP is hilarious.

SKR-7s are definetly a pain to fight. They shread most destroyers with ease and I still consider them a decent threat in 5.7 light cruisers.

Its not just their offence, which just eats crew and is highly effective at disabling modules. But they are annoyingly tanky. I think i’ve seen 1 survive the better part of a full broadside from a Belfast. Thats 12 ish 6inch guns. Granted it was badly damaged. But it certainly wasnt sinking or disabled

Now that was a while ago and naval has totally changed. So maybe its not quite so tanky anymore. But I think 4.7 would not be unreasonable for it for now. Naval (like all things) rather desperately needs a decompression

In regards to the Köln I can directly say that it isnt the case, same as the Z25. Another thing that speaks for the SKR´s is that their HE-VT has far better triggerradius contrary to the Köln. Admittedly the HE-VT´s are all over the place in regards to their triggerradius.

USSR Coastal Fleet is Broken - #24 by Karatekakerlake In this post I compared the gunsystems of the SKR-7 and Köln. Basically the Köln loses in the same moment the SKR opens fire due to its BS rockets and gunsystem. Not to mention the Köln has a longer reload than the SKR.
