I rather enjoyed the CA lines for SN.
Recount;
The Krazny Kavkav (KK) is a good CA. Capable of wielding those 203mm duals and 8 Minizinis with a decent speed.
The Rurik is... the Rurik. Good for Blitz, but no more. Having those 4 254mm guns is very polarizing. I never knew what to do with those 4 T mounts. Blame it on me.
The Kirov is fabulous. With those 180mm trips you farm in Blitz and give very good cover in GB. The T mounts are pretty usable for AA with the Minizinis. Speed is also good.
The Maxim Gorki (MG) is a fantastic remodel. One extra support, capable of wielding the 1908 254mm and the 130mm SD-2 for air defense. The speed is fantastic. It farms in Blitz and does a fantastic job in GB.
The Petropavlosk. I loved it. A great PCA. It's a large, overpowered Maxim Gorki. 2 extra 254mm guns, an extra T mount for those 130mm SD-2. Why the same number of supports, though? Anyway. My gunners where too high for using it in Blitz, but I can imagine it rules there together with the big boys (Mandels and Moltkes, especially).
The Andrej Pervozvanny (AjP). Don't try to sell me a BB when you can clearly see it is a CA. The only good thing about the AjP is that it can be remodeled at level 61 into a fully fledged BB, and that just for 7 bucks at the NF store.
