The seven new Russian and Soviet cruisers form the backbone of the Red Navy tech tree. Lightly armored but heavily armed, these cruisers play much like traditional glass cannons. They cover a large period in Russian naval history, from 1900 into the Cold War but share familiar characteristics from Tier III onward. The Soviet cruisers are at their best pelting enemy ships from a distance and racking up the damage, but also have a few tools to help them at close ranges. Dealing damage is their specialty, don\u2019t get caught out of position in front of them! With April Fool\u2019s and new ships in-game, World of Warships: Legends<\/a><\/strong><\/em> keeps going strong.<\/p>\n
