Alexander
After the second line of soviet patrol was updated, one line was divided into two scientific and technological lines, light patrol and heavy patrol, the original 10-class Moscow became a special ship, while the new 10-class ship was light patrol Alexander Nevsky and heavy patrol Petropavlovsk.
Compared with the light cruisers of other departments that use 152mm naval guns, the Soviet light cruisers are very violent, and the 9th and 10th levels are equipped with 180mm naval guns, which not only have flat ballistic trajectory, fast bullet speed, but also have very strong armor piercing ability.
From the outside, Alexander Nevsky is almost an enlarged version of the level 9 Dimitri (Dimitri plus), but although he has the same layout as Dimitri, he has a qualitative improvement in weapon performance with Dimitri.
Alexander's main gun compared to Dimitri's main gun
Alexander Nevsky has the most powerful 180mm naval gun, the loading time can be reduced by 5.3s after parts reduction, almost the same as Des Moines, and the initial velocity of the shell is much faster than Dimitri, which also makes the armor piercing ability of the 180mmAP bullet more unnatural.
However, because the caliber is only 180mm, and only 30mm penetration without IFHE skills, it is almost impossible to deal direct damage to the battleship, but its own ignition rate of 13% combined with ultra-high rate of fire can continuously ignite enemy warships. And Alexander Nevsky's main gun has a basic range of 19km, which can safely harass opponents in top room battles,
Shell Flight Time: Dimitri > Bagration > Alexandria
Main guns penetrate deeply: Alexander> Bagration > Dimitri
Comparing the three Soviet cruisers equipped with different 180mm main guns, it can be seen that Alexander Nevsky's main guns are much better than the other two cruisers in terms of bullet drop time and the penetration depth of the main guns. Thanks to the initial velocity of the shell at 1000 m/s, Alexander Nevsky's AP penetration depth is even higher than that of Hindenburg and Des Moines who used the 203 gun, which shows how terrifying its penetration depth is.
The main gun of the 10th level cruiser penetrates deeply: Alexander > Des Moines> Hindenburg
However, due to the small number of its main guns, even with a 2.05 sigma, the long-distance dispersion in actual combat is not good, and from 17km onwards, the dispersion of shells is bad.
In addition, although Alexander Nevsky has the same main gun layout as Dimitri, the salvo angle is much better than Dimitri, and the minimum salvo angle does not need to expose too many sides, which greatly reduces the risk of being killed.
At the same time, as a Soviet light patrol, Alexander Nevsky installed torpedoes, a five-pack torpedo on each side, with a mine speed of 60 knots, damage 14400, and a range of 8 km, but because the loading time was as long as 131 seconds (more than 2 minutes), it was necessary to keep the torpedo before preparing to ride the face.
Alexander Nevsky has a main armor belt of up to 140mm, and Dimitri of the 9th level is only 100mm, and the lift is very obvious. And he has a 50mm iron chin on the bow of the ship, and can carry some large-caliber AP bullets in the state of selling heads.
However, the full body 25mm shell is very fragile like glass in front of the large caliber of the top battleship starting 406. Fortunately, Alexander Nevsky's blood volume exceeds 50,000, and he does not even lose other heavy patrols in the top room, and the fault tolerance rate is very high.
With the 180mm high-level gun, Alexander Nevsky's air defense radius reached 6.9 km, and the mixed air defense circle formed with the secondary gun was not only high in seconds but also had a very large number of black clouds, which was enough to deal a fatal blow to the 10th level aircraft.
Such a long air defense distance can also provide air defense cover for their own fleet, whether it is a single way to protect themselves or as a tool man is very good.
Alexander Nevsky has three consumables of AA (or water listening), radar and maintenance team, one less water listening position than the American light patrol.
The range of the Soviet radar is as long as 12km, but its own concealment is 12.8km, which cannot achieve stealth radar, and it needs to cooperate with terrain cover to safely illuminate the other side to expel. The duration of the radar reaches 30s, the time is still a long time, and with its own high rate of fire, it can cause 5-6 rounds of output to the target.
Although Alexander Nevsky positioned himself as a light cruiser, the huge hull caused his concealment to be very poor, and all the skill accessories were painted at a distance of only 12.8km, which could not be pressed forward like Worcester or Minotaur, and could only honestly throw garbage in the rear.
Maneuverability is also very bad, although the limit speed of up to 36 knots is powerful, but the rudder time takes 11.5 seconds, the turning radius is also very large 940m, the slightest carelessness is easy to be hit by a round of enemy battleships.
Summing up Alexander Nevsky's ship, the entertainment is much better than the Petropavlovsk of the patrol line, and the high rate of fire of the straight ballistic trajectory is very powerful both at a distance, and the super air defense performance can also play the role of a tool man, and it is not too much to call it the strongest light patrol.
