Holy Moly, the Soviet sentiment is strong with this one. :D

How did a cruiser get over 40, 000 tons... thats heavier than some battleships!

[whammy]

Now I wonder what the BATTLESHIP would look like.

[marcingrzybek]

New OP Soviet premium ship in WoWs soon? We got Kutuzov, Leningrad, Molotov and Nikolai already, not mentioning new line of OP destroyers coming soon. Well played Wargayming, well played: the strongest war navy in the world: the Soviet one...

The biggest problem I have with these Russian paper ship designs is really the range and muzzle-velocity of the guns. Most real life ships had a muzzle-velocity of around 760-m/s to 840-m/s. This cruiser and the Moskva both have a muzzle-velocity of 950-m/s. The problem with these specifications is barrel wear and the reason why other ship guns only fired shells at 840-m/s. More muzzle velocity means a larger charge and greater heat and friction on the barrel as the shell leaves and in turn far fewer shots could be fired from it before the barrel would need to be replaced. Not much of a problem when all your ships are made of Stalinium.

If they add this they should also add the batlecruiser USS Alaska.

Absolutely awesome vid about an absolutely awesome ship! Damn shame that this cruiser never got to take on the Kriegsmarine. can I buy the model?

[EricDKaufman]

7 years on and the Copium is even more concentrated!!!!

[alxff]

Agreed the sovetsky soyuz battleship on wows

[fachrezaekakurnia]

Why stalin don't make aircraft carrier ? At that time cv is cheap to operate than cruiser

[erichusher]

With those 12" guns, this sounds a lot like the USS Alaska/USS Guam. Of course, we had battleships with 16" guns, that could FAR outrange the 12" guns of the 'Stalingrad.'

[cerberusrex]

lol this could be a freakin tier 10 BB

[calmwaves]

This game is still missing italian and french navy, and wg keeps wasting time on the ridiculous russian navy of that period.

[hiro]

the title said battlecruiser but in video a heavy cruiser? really? i still dont know why they put her in heavy cruiser type... she is too big, too strong and too powerful to be called a cruiser

[williambenedictalava]

cold war ship but didn't make it on the rank.

[pickeljarsforhillary]

Ruskies are proud of laying down an already obsolete ship.

[Snakebloke]

305mm guns?!?! And this is a cruiser?!?! What...?!

[joao_goncalves]

With the soviets it's either go big or go home. Loved to see more of these ships in game. They are beautiful.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of real, actually built and used ships to choose from to make these vids, including several russian ships, and they choose one that barely managed to go pass the drawing board and get canceled and scrapped before ever comming into contact with the sea. These aren't even the most interesting designed-but-never-built ships in existence. Seriously, add some variety to this thing. I bet even their russian customers are getting a bit tired and would want to learn more about other navies.

If you want to be bold and do something completely new, as a south american I'd love to see something about the mini arms race between Argentina, Brazil and Chile and the three battleship classes that came out of that. Or maybe something about the austro-hungarian navy. Or the greek armoured cruiser Georgios Averof, which, even if it isn't a battleship, is the only surviving example of semi-dreadnought design. Or what about the spanish navy? The España class battleships are not very well known. You could also talk about french battleships. Their love of quadruple turrets produced some very interesting ships to talk about. You could also do a video or two about the italian Regina Marina. Or just change from one bias to another and talk about the Kriegsmarine. So far you've only made two videos about non-russian ships: one about a british cruiser, and two more about german ships. The rest is only about Russia. That really doesn't help to silence the rumours about russian bias.

Don't get me wrong, I liked this video, but the theme is just too repetitive. It is like another Rocky or Terminator movie. You may like it, but deep inside you're wondering when will they finally move on.

That ship would have been scrap metal against carriers in 1950s
