Great video. I love my Stalin and think that it is the most enjoyable RU cruiser because of its clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. I find that with good play, the weaknesses aren't that big of a deal (don't be a paid actor) and that the ship rewards good positioning and punishes bad ones to a greater extent than all other RU cruisers. I also don't find the ability for people to angle against it that big of a deal, as good players should be trying to set up crossfires anyway and there are so many paid actors that it often doesn't matter. It is in my opinion an extremely balanced cruiser, biased on how well it rewards and punishes good and bad plays.
Near the end, funny you mention Yodo, San Martin (fun ship in CB tbh), let me add Cerberus to that, as just a list of 3 new cruisers, and then look at Wisconsin for example - weird how WeeGee can make new ships good/viable (read overtuned tbh for Wisky) but not for any cruisers recently.. maybe Svea or Brennus will change it finally?
Stalin is definitely my favorite of the 4,in order it would be Stalin, petro, mosk and then nevsky. Im a slut for those guns, and while like you said she has the worst utility of the russian utility cruisers, she has the best {effective} utility of all the large cruisers. Why would you ever play a PR over a stalingrad? or Yoshino over it. Marseille at least makes herself very worth while through other means. I like that you brought up the HE, while not the focus of the ship its still extremely potent. Great video as always, have been really enjoying this series, excited to see what you cover next.
Yeah, I think I'd probably play any other large cruiser/battlecruiser that isn't Sevastopol. Stalingrad is one of the most boring ships in the game imo
As a quadriplegic BB main with room temperature IQ, I love these roundups.
the first step is admitting you have a problem (holds up hand)
Thanks for the roundup, really useful and occasionally very funny. Look forward to more!
thanks

thanks. It isn't objectively an issue if people angle to Stalin, it just instantly makes it significantly the worst of the 4 radar cruisers.

ngl brennus looks like some dog so far, but Svea looks very good bordering on toxic/OP

100% agree on Puerto. That ship is turbotrash compared to stalingrad. thanks
Do something about that allergy lol Good information just hard to listen
i get that. it's a nice combo of being allergic to everything that floats in the air and the deviated septum of a dozen nose breaks lol.
Stalingrad or Austin?
Stalingrad is the better ship autism is a meme ship through and through
Yeah, I think I'd probably play any other large cruiser/battlecruiser that isn't Sevastopol.
Stalingrad is one of the most boring ships in the game imo
agree, satisfying guns but very boring playstyle
