Quality problems, poor productivity, limited industrial capacity, inability to manufacture beyond a certain magnitude, all of these were slowing down the construction of any capitol ship in the Soviet navy. The Soviet industry proved to be very poor at constructing a large scale fleet, as they were plagued by numerous problems. She actually lacks a lot of distinct Soviet/Italian traits, such as distributed armor. Now where does Project 69 fall? Well, Project 69 was the first Heavy Cruiser design to be approved for construction. The counterparts of said ships would be Project 66 ( Moskva in-game) and/or Project 82 ( Stalingrad). Now, they DID consider the Des Moines and Baltimore-class cruisers to be medium cruisers, and they classified Alaska as a heavy cruiser (if my rough Russian translations are correct). ![]() I’m not saying that Soviet designs are good or bad by any standards, but they are not weight-efficient at all. Baltimore, a heavy cruiser, weighs 17,000 tons fully loaded. Consider that Chapayev and Mikhail Kutuzov ( Sverdlov-class) are considered light cruisers, and they weigh more than 14,000 and 16,500 tons fully loaded respectively. ![]()
