  1. Imagine if she had proper elevation to use her 180mm as dual purpose or do the same and replace them with 152mm or had instead opted for 130mm in triples? Would have been a viable light cruiser. Instead of... whatever she was supposed to be. I feel like a lot of people would be familiar with her due to: 1)name familiarity with nuclear cruisers AND Red Alert 2 most famous unit; 2)WoWS giving her out for free to hundreds of thousands of people as new player bonus. Sadly that's all the fame this ship has. And I can't say it deserves more...

  2. @aleksaradojicic8114  sorry, forgot to mention switching to twins. Wrote dual purpose and apparently thought that dual was meant for that. Woops. Yeah, basically it should be either 2x180 or 2x152 or 3x130. But I'd say that elevation is important so these turrets need to be replaced fully. I'm also 50/50 on 100mm secondaries. Ideally they should have been replaced with 2x45mm autocannons each, but 45mm autocannon project wasn't finished as lead designer died... surprisingly not due to politics, but due to tuberculosis.
