Loading...Episode 43 of Know Your Ship! In this educational video I cover the Sverdlov class light cruisers of the Soviet Navy. These cruisers were the last gun armed cruisers in the Soviet Navy. These ships served for many years and were the experimental platforms for many advances in technology and strategy. Anyways Captain’s sit back, relax and enjoy the story of the Sverdlov class crusiers.

Ihave a question: if i have mods installed (Aslain’s Modpack), does it
matter for sending in replays? cause i’ve read that you need to have the
same game version and i don’t know if that includes mods.
Interessting video Chase, how about you compare the Sverdlov with other
cruisers from the cold war era, like tehe dutch De Zeven Provinvien class
or the british Tiger class?
Chase do you have an email or a way to send you replays because i might
have just gotten the biggest FU from the game in fail form i need to send
to you?
Why does WG try insisting HE is faster than AP? Almost never true.
Chyeeah! Back online! It would still be awesome doing an episode on the USS
Alaska / USS Guam WWII battlecruisers!
i want look at the hole vido but youtube wont let me sorry
I still dont get why ppl call russian bias…
good stuff!!
I remember naval wargaming in the 1980s was about the missiles be flung
except for two ship types you worried about getting in close. The USA Iowa
battleships the Severldov class Russians. While not a battleship should the
Sev’s have ever gotten in close they had 12 x 6 inch guns and gun cruiser
armor. Meanwhile the NATO ships being missile based tended to have just one
gun per ship with limited armor. In those wargames the Sev’s were seen as
gun amphibious assault support ships for the Russians as shells are a much
lower cost per shot than missiles. Fun facts to consider in the What-If
scenarios.
a review on the Myoko / Mogami / Tone / Takao class perhaps next
It’s ‘KRI Irian’ in Indonesia, she was our legendary ship…
It would be cool if they add the

Nice video as always. Although I’ve pretty much given on on warships, since
I worked hard to get the Kag, only to have them defang it into uselessness
3 days after I got it. No the lousy 8km torps don’t make up for it. If I
wanted a short range torp platform I’d have gone with the USN, and had an
awesome gun platform to boot. Been thinking about the Russian ships, thanks
for the efforts….
Nc video,as always! Can u make a video for Indianapolis? She has a great
story to tell!
Keep them coming. great info
Can’t you do the Clemson, Mahan, and Kagero
Great video! When is the Yorck video coming?
Hey chase, nice video 🙂 can you do a video about the Kirov class cruisers
or some italian or french cruiser or destroyer? Algerie, Zara, Capitani
Romani, Mogador, Fantasque, Colbert, Dardo are a lot of great ships that i
want to see ingame :)
Keep it up iChase !! nice one like always
AWESOME! Thank you Chase for doing what is perhaps my FAVORITE class of all
gun based cruisers!
They really are complex and amazing ships for being made from an early WWII
Italian design, much was improved, and the amount of technology put into
these ships for their era, and being gun ships is truly stunning! I mean
ALL of the guns can be aimed off of any SINGLE turret or/and radar array,
and is has MANY of each! I think it is pretty amazing that they could
manage that sort of redundancy and accuracy with the technology available
to them at the time of construction!
Also, in WOWS, Mikhail Kutuzov FTW! Though I would NOT go so far as to say
I prefer her over my Atago, merely that she is easily as good, and
sometimes just more fun to play!
You do these so well. Your time and effort is appreciated.
Puddahead
Ah, the kutuzov! Now i demand cruise missiles on my kutuzov!
Finally… My country’s biggest ever operated warship… Nice video.
Excellent video Once again ichaseGaming!
Interesting, in history book of this side, it was said that Irian was in a
very bad condition because they couldn’t get any spare parts to maintain
her. Also that the ship wasn’t even headed to Soviet to be repaired, they
were heading to Taiwan to be scrapped there, it was said that the ship got
intercepted by Soviet Navy and they took them back to Soviet instead. There
surely lots of version here.
Did i see a gun barrel with a cannon on top?!?
In you list of conversion you kinda missed one other conversion – Admiral
Nakhimov conversion to Missile Cruiser with KSS ( OS-24) missile in 1955.
