Phantom Reviews - Kirov Class Cruiser

For those of you going down the cruiser line of the Soviet Navy, here's some assisstance of what to expect.


 * The cruiser in NFL is the predecessor to the Gangut Class of battleships.


 * At maximum load, it can reach speeds of 33 knots.


 * Main guns are accurate (Can you believe that?).


 * Lots of secondary weapon slots with a good selection.


 * 4 torpedo slots, Soviet torpedoes are deadly, trust me.


 * To top off the design, it has 2 depth charge racks, however, I don't think it has a sonar.


 * It has incredibly good health, without counting the armor you put on it, it can survive for some time against a bigger opponent.


 * Steering is awful with a slow response, worse than the Bismarck!


 * In looks, it's nice, so there's a bonus, compared to the Cleveland and the County class.


 * Acceleration is not great, but not bad either, a steady pace.

Overall, a nice cruiser, with a vast array of weapons.
