Admiral Graf Spee and Emden are also real OP, as well as Molotov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,386 [LEGIO] Lampshade_M1A2 Members 3,752 posts 11,157 battles Report post #10 Posted December 22, 2017 I'm not certain if the Dmitri Donkeyski (Russian T9) is a real design. Never heard of it. I believe the other non-built ones (T6, T7, T10) are all based on real designs though. German T9 and T10 are fictional while the T7 is based on a design the Germans considered prior to the Deutschland class cruisers/"pocket battleships".

853 Xero_Snake Members 5,165 posts 60 battles Report post #11 Posted December 22, 2017 VMF's Project 94 (Budyonny) & Project 65 (Dmitri Donskoy) were draft design studies. The former was the most stranger to the rest as it was hardly known in the Russian literatures, while the latter was at least known & has over 40 design variations for research & study purposes. Other than that, Pr. 28 (Shchors) & Pr. 66 (Moskva) were real designs, but couldn't get to lay down. For Shchors, it was scrapped in favor of Chapayev due to inferior design. For Moskva, it was meant to supplement & compliment with Stalingrads, but too expensive to build as Pr. 66 cost three times of the building cost of Pr. 68bis Sverdlov.

It's a rather unusual ship for sure, what's with the huge superstructure? I thought Pr. 66 was rejected in favor of the larger more capable Stalingrads, not intended to supplement them. To me Budyonny looks like a design from the same time period as the Pr. 28 and Chapayev. Was it possibly intended to be an alternative of lighter displacement?

1,921 mr3awsome Alpha Tester, Alpha Tester 11,461 posts 1,963 battles Report post #13 Posted December 22, 2017 German T IX & X are outright fakes (the IX not even being a sensible one). The rest are either design studies or built ships, as noted above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the ship was built and commissioned it will show the year it entered service and the number built. Otherwise it shows year of design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be Lutzow. First renamed as Petropavlovsk, later renamed as Tallinn after raised from sinking. After the WWII, they even proposed Project 83 to complete Tallinn by replacing 20.3cm guns with 152mm guns & fitted with postwar AA guns & a radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's too bad that the Soviet line has twice as much paper as it actually needed to. Could've easily been T6 Maxim Gorky or Kalinin, T7 Chapayev, T8 Sverdlov. 12 hours ago, Xero_Snake said: That would be Lutzow.

The 152mm would definitely make for a more interesting premium. With the German 203s she'd be little more than a reflagged Prinz Eugen (since Lutzow was from the same slightly-modified Hipper design) and the last thing we need is a clone of a clone. But either way with Kutuzov permanently removed from sale, Tallin would be the best option to replace her in the shop.
