Shchors
Tier VII · Cruiser · U.S.S.R.
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 16) · Balanced cruiser
Balanced cruiser, suited to fire pressure. Top speed of 35.4 kn is high, but sluggish rudder and acceleration make sudden dodges hard. High HE fire potential (4.0 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Precise Aiming System I ×2 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s); Air Defense Alert I ×2. Detectability of 9.24 km is 1.12 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands. Its weak detectability (9.24 km) drops to 8.22 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).

This ship was designed as a light "squadron escorting" cruiser (Project 28). She boasted a high speed and powerful artillery but was inferior to foreign counterparts of her time in armor protection.
