Yeah, the Novo may suit a certain playstyle. Maybe it turned out that she's still pretty good eventually? You can get Strasbourg last year for free through a very similar event, and Strasbourg, though pretty mediocre, is still playable, at least more enjoyable than something like Tiger '59/Fenyang/Mikoyan etc.Īlso, you can just ignore those missions if you are not interested But I don't have her since I wasn't playing when she can be earned for free.Įveryone knows it is very possible that Novorossiysk can be a pretty weak ship, but it seems that she's still under NDA for now and we don't know about her real performance yet, since CCs haven't post any kind of video talking about her. Recently I found heavy cruisers w/ smoke pretty enjoyable (Anchorage and Rochester) and London is exactly the same type of ship. The range of the main guns of the Novo: 17.5 km versus 18.2 km for the Bretagne.īecause this can be the only time to get Novorossiysk for free, or even the only way to get this ship for a long time. Well, the tier 5 Bretagne has a HP of 41,700.

Look at the HP of the Novorossiysk: 40,100. The question is, why do we fall for these free premium ships? Maneuverbility is actually good, having 28kts, 660m turning circle is excellent Her damage control party uses Soviet battleship version Since Her repair party charge is lower than GC (4 -> 3), Effective Maximum HP is lower than GC Since her stock Concealment is has been increased (13.2km -> 15km), She spotted even faster Since her HP is lower than GC (45,500 -> 40,100), She melts even faster Since She has thinner Bow/Stern armor than GC, She eat more HE, AP damage Shares same HE, AP shell but AP Alpha had been decreased to about 10% Other armor scheme is stays same as Giulio Ceasare (Deck armor has been increased to 26mm because She is T6) But, Since It has BC Dispersion, her Bow/Stern armor has been reduced to 16mm * But Sigma is significantly decreased to 1.4 from 1.9 ( I don't feel any some kind of "improvement dispersion" because of that) Her dispersion pattern has been changed to Battlecruiser dispersion from French/Italian Battleship dispersion
