DescriptionFans of the Vlad will be very happy once they get their hands on this.
The Soyuz is the tankiest ship at the tier, with the best armor, hp, and 2nd best effective hp, with survivability 2nd only to the GK. The guns are extremely accurate when less than 12km away, and the prodigiously powerful ap will punish everything but the best angled battleships.
Building into the guns is redundant. If you find yourself needing the accuracy at range, you are either not positioning right or playing the wrong ship. If you play aggressive and close the range, this ship will reward you.
The small (compared to the likes of American and German bb’s) superstructure, thick deck and side platting incentivizes tanking shells. You can shatter battleships shells off of your armor. It’s ridiculous. Playing with Kedrov allows you to get into aggressive positions and flush out the enemy. It’s what this ship is unparalleled at.
Conclusion: sponge damage, annihilate with the main battery up close, and pray to Stalin for the longe range dispersion. Have fun out there captains.
*note feel free to add brawler to the build, i just prefer the longer range just to pester far away cruisers
