2nd Best Range.

Average Damage

Good Armour Penetration

Poor Turning

Poor Speed

Lol dont forget about the fast reloading speed :p

SN Guns have either very good range or very good damage, they all seem to have rather good reload speeds, alot of their lower level ships are quite powerful, alot of them AA fairly well.

But theyre slow and/or do not turn very well, and the armor is not very good, mostly because its hard to fit very much of it if you try. For some players the gun lines on the gangut, imperitritsa mariya and sevastapol are annoying.

Soviet guns have great range, but they are mostly 40-45 deg guns, so it is a little tricky to use this range advantage. (long hangtime)

Soviet armor is really good, but this is useless feature, because you could never fit enough amount to protect you.

Soviet nation has +2 engineer bonus. But SN ships are slow and have bad turning force.

Soviet ships are ugly as monkey a$$ (maybe except Maxim Gorkij) so players wolud want to kill you asap so they dont have to look at your ugly ship :D

Lol i dont recall a stalingrad looking ugly in the first place. She is a mighty vessel to behold!

Stalingrad is foolish banana-shaped ship with funny tiny turrets.

I actually quite like the "ugly" look of the ships. They look industrial and rather, well, Soviet :D
Also faster firing guns is pretty accurate I have noticed.
