Komissar: Tier X Soviet Russian Hybrid Cruiser 1935

During the 1930s, while the Soviet fleet was actively being constructed, designers were quite proactive in creating projects. In March 1935, engineers Rimski-Korsakov and Maslov from Central Design Bureau of Special Shipbuilding No.1 presented a pre-draft project for a heavy cruiser. The ship was to be equipped with twelve 240 mm main guns, twelve 130 mm secondary battery guns, and aircraft. To achieve a high speed, it was proposed to install boilers with high steam parameters and a triple-shaft power plant.

Commemorative Flag

Komissar Commemorative Flag

Military komissars first appeared in the RSFSR in 1918. In 1925, unity of command was established over both the Red Army and Red Fleet. For much of this period, the naval flag of the RSFSR was a red cloth with braids, depicting a star and an anchor.

Key Features

Let’s delve into the key features of the Soviet cruiser Komissar:

Hybrid Cruiser: Komissar is a hybrid cruiser, combining elements of both artillery and aircraft capabilities.
Attack Aircraft Squadron: The ship has access to a squadron of Attack Aircraft equipped with HE rockets. These aircraft can be used for reconnaissance and dealing damage to enemy ships.
Main Battery Guns: Komissar boasts twelve 240mm main battery guns. These guns deliver substantial damage per salvo, making them formidable in combat.
Torpedoes: The cruiser is also armed with torpedoes. While they have decent speed and deal respectable damage, they come in limited numbers per salvo.
HP Pool and Armor: Komissar has a small HP pool and weak armor. Survivability is a challenge, so strategic positioning and evasive maneuvers are crucial.
Maneuverability: Despite its limitations, Komissar compensates with high speed. Maneuvering swiftly can help avoid incoming fire and position for attacks.

Gameplay

Gameplay aspects of the Soviet cruiser Komissar:

Combat Range: Komissar performs optimally at medium to high combat ranges. Therefore, positioning yourself favorably on the battlefield is crucial to unlock the ship’s full potential.
Damage Potential: Komissar can deal significant damage using a variety of armaments. Its twelve 240mm main battery guns and torpedoes contribute to its offensive capabilities.
Vulnerability: However, be cautious! Getting caught off-guard or facing sustained fire from multiple enemy ships can swiftly send this cruiser back to port due to its small HP pool and weak armor.
Consumables:
- Repair Party: Komissar benefits from an increased number of Repair Party charges and a fast cooldown. Use it wisely to restore lost hit points during battle.
- Hydroacoustic Search or Defensive AA Fire: These consumables share the same slot. Choose based on the situation: Hydroacoustic Search for detecting torpedoes and ships, or Defensive AA Fire to fend off enemy aircraft.
