Leningrad
Tier VII · Destroyer · U.S.S.R. · Premium
Rating C (Weak within its tier and class · overall score 26) · Balanced destroyer
Balanced destroyer. Top speed of 38.9 kn is high, but sluggish rudder and acceleration make sudden dodges hard. High HE fire potential (2.2 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Engine Accelerator II ×2 (top speed +12%, 25 s); Smoke Generator I ×2 (9 s deploy, 24 s linger). With only 2 smoke charges, save it for emergencies. Detectability of 6.48 km is 0.23 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands.
