Keep Kirov After Molotov?

[NimitsTexan]

So, if I might have picked up a Molotov in one of the $1 Captain's gifts, would you recommend keeping Kirov or not?

 

Previously (before this whole Christmas special), Kirov was a definite keeper, as my best T5 cruiser, stat-wise. However, looking over the Molotov, it seems she is basically a better Kirov (as befits being a Kirov half-sister), at a tier higher. As T5 arguably gets the worse matchmaking, I am torn on whether I should hold on to her or sell her.

Kirov is truly isn't very useful once you got the Molotov.

Agree.  She's huge, has bad detection range, and is very sluggish.  Both ships are squishy, but Kirov is just worse off with those bad characteristics.  Once you have Molotov, there's no reason to keep Kirov for a low/mid-tier 180mm slinging RU Cruiser.

Molotov is amazing! Oh, those citadels!

I must concur - no reason to keep the Kirov.  Molly is just flat better - and that pains me to say, since I get on poorly with both.  I actually preferred Budyonny though I was only marginally better in her.

Nope...much better T5 cruisers out there (Taco, Konig).
