Captains who have opted for Last Stand over Expert Marksman as a Level 2 commander skill will probably want the latter. Main Armaments Modification 1 is the natural pick for Slot 1' for Slot 3, the choice boils down to captain's preference between Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve the accuracy of her main battery, or Main Battery Modification 2 for faster turret rotation.

With only four upgrade slots to fill, there isn't a lot of variety of choice for fitting out Leningrad. The recommended upgrades for Leningrad are as follows: Overall, Leningrad trades a worse gun layout from the regular tech tree Tier VIII destroyer Kiev for better torpedoes, making her an interesting hybrid play style ship, able to both function as both gunboat and torpedo boat depending on what the situation calls for.Īs a Premium ship, Leningrad doesn't have any upgrades to research. The main battery guns are in an odd layout, with an anti-aircraft mount blocking the rearmost gun from firing aft, and the third gun located aft of the bridge in order to fire all her main battery weapons simultaneously, Leningrad needs to expose a great deal of herself to return fire.

Her torpedoes are more powerful than Gremyashchy’s, with 700 more damage and 5 knots faster speed in exchange for a longer reload due to the quad mount launchers. This can sometimes lead to accidentally hitting torpedoes her captain thought they had dodged. However, she has a much wider turning circle in exchange for her higher top speed, causing her to drift when turning. Her 43 knot top speed (reaching nearly 46 knots with Engine Boost active) means she can avoid some incoming fire by simply outrunning it, and her high velocity guns give her the ability to pepper targets at range where she can not be reliably hit. Leningrad may initially seem like a Tier VII Gremyashchy with an extra gun and quadruple torpedo launchers (instead of triples). The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's 'Actual AA DPS'.
