Or, step into a yamato and shoot at a broadside Kremlin at longer ranges- citadels won't come as easily as it should. If you have Kuznetsov or whatever his name is (I just call him P2W captain from the event he was introduced), it'll be that much more hilarious. If you don't believe it, I think you'll think otherwise once you get her, play her a bunch, then swap around between battleships then back to her- the types of positions you can get away with will astound you, I'm almost certain of it. I'm not a unicum, but far from average- I can sleep my way into 67 WR in that ship across the 48 games I have played in her, and that's while ALSO being reckless to all abandon. Must be a lot of space cadets with Kremlins, then. There are a few exceptions like the British Minotaur and the fantasy French Republique but not a whole lot. So we end up with Stalin's dream fleet circa 1955 versus everyone else circa 1945. Missiles were going to be the future for surface combatants. So the USN didn't bother designing any new gun cruisers or battleships beyond the Des Moines, Worcester, Iowa and (unbuilt) Montana classes. Despite plans for a huge modern navy the only gun cruisers the Soviets would complete post-war weren't all that much more capable than the WWII-era Cleveland and Fargo classes. The US Navy also had a glut of modern cruisers and fast battleships and the largest surface combatants the Soviets had were ancient WWI-era battleships and a few cruisers that compare poorly to something like the Baltimore class. With the end of the war it was clear that airpower was all important in naval combat. The problem I see is that the Soviets continued to design large gun cruisers, battleships, and oversized destroyers with overoptimistic estimates for everything long after everyone else did.
