The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet light cruiser {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armament separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Tips for preserving survivability should be saved for the "Use in battle" section.''

''If necessary, use a graphic template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
''Write about the ship’s mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward speed and reverse speed.''

== Armament ==
=== Primary armament ===
{{main|130 mm/50 pattern 1913 (130 mm)}}The 130mm cannons can be described in one word - inadequate. Being the destroyer calibre guns mounted on the outdated cruiser chassis they should be treated as ones. Do not expect to kill anything you would not be able to with late Soviet destroyers, the shells are not something you will be proud of. They also have quite low velocity, so you will most likely have troubles with accuracy at range. Aiming whole broadside is also somewhat difficult, since the guns do not share the levels of elevation nor horizontal guidance. Let that not scare you however, for they do have some redeeming quailties.

First off, they are quite numerous. Full HE broadside '''can''' be quite devastating for anything unarmoured, but do not wish for miracles. When fighting against DDs you can feel relatively comfortable, blacking out few compartments at once, but facing any cruiser use your (usually) superior fire rate and saturate the whole enemy deck, hoping for fires or lucky shots disabling the enemy's armament and do not get disencouraged. You will have serious disadvantage against them but you can dish out some pain if you're lucky, especially since you'll be far from the top of the priority target list.

The guns apart from being numerous are also quite spaced out and have relatively thick gun shields. You can safely assume that you '''will''' be able to return fire from at least few guns until the bitter end, since the possibility of rendering all of them useless is quite low. Even if after facing few salvos one side of the ship is inoperable, you have oldschool broadside cruiser at your disposal, you can always turn the other cheek and respond from the other side guns.

Also, remember that you have big ammo reserves, 175 shells per gun at full load - you can be liberal with your fire should you want to.

=== Secondary armament ===
{{main|Minizini (100 mm)|45 mm/46 21-K (45 mm)}}
''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>.

=== Torpedo armament ===
{{main|53-38 (533 mm)}}
Don't even think about using these effectively. 3 torpedoes per side, no reload, Krym is far too sluggish and they by themselves are not exceptional. Pass, so you won't get accidentally detonated by something you won't even use.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Surprisingly survivable

* Strong AA armament

* Big ammo reserves

* Easily overlooked if there are more dangerous ships on the field

*

'''Cons:'''

* Lacking firepower

* Abysmal anti-armour capabilities

* Sluggishly slow

* Not manuverable at all

*

== History ==

Krasny Krym was initially laid down in 1913 under the name ‘Svetlana’, and was the lead ship of her class of four. Svetlana-class light cruisers were intended for the Baltic Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy and were therefore designed slightly differently in comparison to the closely-related, intended for Black Sea operations, Admiral Nakhimov-class (of which the already familiar Krasny Kavkaz was a part of).

By late 1917, Svetlana was nearing completion. In the meantime however, the Russian Empire was beginning to collapse and the ensuing revolutions, followed by a civil war, halted construction. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, work on the Svetlana continued in 1924, with the ship being renamed ‘Profintern’.

Work on the Profintern finally finished in July 1928, with the ship’s completed layout closely resembling the original one. Instead of being commissioned into service with the Baltic Fleet as originally planned, Profintern was instead assigned to the ranks of the Black Sea Fleet in 1929.

Throughout the ‘30s, the Profintern underwent substantial overhaul works, with her auxiliary weapon systems being upgraded and fire control systems improved. Shortly after the outbreak of WW2, the ship was renamed for the second and last time to Krasny Krym in October 1939.

Krasny Krym, similarly to her half-sister Krasny Kavkaz, served the entirety of WW2 as part of various operations in the Black Sea region. Most notably, taking part in the Siege of Sevastopol and the Kerch-Feodosiya Operation. As such, the ship was primarily tasked with escorting various convoys, evacuating and transporting troops as well as bombarding enemy positions with artillery fire. For her performance, Krasny Krym was also awarded with the elite Guards title in June 1942.

Following the end of WW2, Krasny Krym remained in active service for some time, although repurposed on several occasions. July 1959 marked the end of the ship’s service, with Krasny Krym being ultimately sold for scrap.

Svetlana-class light cruisers were intended for the Baltic Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy and were therefore designed slightly differently in comparison to the closely-related, intended for Black Sea operations, Admiral Nakhimov-class (of which the already familiar Krasny Kavkaz was a part of).

By late 1917, Svetlana was nearing completion. In the meantime however, the Russian Empire was beginning to collapse and the ensuing revolutions, followed by a civil war, halted construction. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, work on the Svetlana continued in 1924, with the ship being renamed ‘Profintern’.

Work on the Profintern finally finished in July 1928, with the ship’s completed layout closely resembling the original one. Instead of being commissioned into service with the Baltic Fleet as originally planned, Profintern was instead assigned to the ranks of the Black Sea Fleet in 1929.

Throughout the ‘30s, the Profintern underwent substantial overhaul works, with her auxiliary weapon systems being upgraded and fire control systems improved. Shortly after the outbreak of WW2, the ship was renamed for the second and last time to Krasny Krym in October 1939.

Krasny Krym, similarly to her half-sister Krasny Kavkaz, served the entirety of WW2 as part of various operations in the Black Sea region. Most notably, taking part in the Siege of Sevastopol and the Kerch-Feodosiya Operation. As such, the ship was primarily tasked with escorting various convoys, evacuating and transporting troops as well as bombarding enemy positions with artillery fire. For her performance, Krasny Krym was also awarded with the elite Guards title in June 1942.

Following the end of WW2, Krasny Krym remained in active service for some time, although repurposed on several occasions. July 1959 marked the end of the ship’s service, with Krasny Krym being ultimately sold for scrap.

DEFA F1 (90 mm)

2020-07-23T02:05:39Z

U4386087: /* Description */

== Description ==
DEFA CN90F1 also known as DEFA 921 is a french light gun designed for light vehicles. Operating on low pressure and being exceptionally lightweight by itself, it made the creation of AML-90 possible: gun was relatively easy to operate while also permitted the 5-tonne chassis to punch well above it's weight.

The most troubling thing was the long range performance of the gun. Using low velocity ammunition and having rather inadequate fire control systems the accuracy of the gun was far from perfect if not outright terrible. Six-Day war and South African Border War, where the vehicles equipped with it were used confirmed it, as the AMLs were being constantly outranged while fighting M48s and even T-34/85s. Light chassis used to accomodate the gun were also not allowing to fire on the move out of fear of overstraining the suspension and transmission (apart from that, the gun was never equipped with stabiliser).

Nonetheless, in conflicts where it was used, it proved to be perfectly capable of destroying MBTs, especially when attacking in flanking maneuvers.
