Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 35) · Hybrid destroyer
A Soviet large destroyer built around eight 130 mm guns and high speed. Its 3,680 HE salvo is 43% above average, so each hit lands hard, and a 40.6 kn top speed plus Engine Boost II make repositioning fast. Its armor is also thicker than other destroyers'. However, a 6.9 s rudder shift and 7.8°/s turn rate are very sluggish, and 6 km dispersion of about 137 m, 25% wider than average, makes both long-range hits and quick evasion difficult. With 7.2 km detectability and 4.37 km torpedoes, stealth torpedoing is impossible, and it has only one smoke charge.

The ship was designed as a destroyer flotilla leader. No destroyer in the world could rival her in terms of speed, while her armor and the power of her artillery were comparable to those of light cruisers. Dual-purpose main guns and a battery of automatic AA guns ensured a strong AA defense.
