-Chapayev was introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]]. Her armour protection is significant improvement over the previous Project 26-class, aswell as having guns with higher rate of fire, although at cost of penetration characteristic. Her anti-aircraft protection suite was expanded aswell with twenty-eight 37 mm automatic V-11 cannon barrels aswell as eight 100 mm dual purpose guns. Unlike Kirov, her magazines are closer to waterline being more vulnerable to being hit, leading to fatal explosion. All the improvements on Chapayev came at a cost. She lost the ship launched aircraft found on Kirov, aswell as torpedo tubes.

 The Chapayev has strong armour against any and all 155 mm shells, only constant AP fire from the likes of the [[USS Brooklyn]] will cause enough damage to put a dent in your crew count. Chapayev's deck armour is strong enough to resist 250 kg bombs, but heavier ones will cause catastrophic damage. Against larger shells, it is recommended to angle your hull 45 degrees towards the attacker to avoid penetrating hits to your ammunition and engine compartments.
 The {{PAGENAME}}'s turrets are immune to HE and AP shells from destroyers, as well as resistant against being incapacitated from enemy secondary guns that ships like the [[IJN Mogami]] and the [[Kirov]] suffer from a lot. Against cruisers, the turrets are quite resistant to their high-explosive shells aside from the lucky shell that will hit one of the gun breeches, which will disable only one out of the three guns on the turret
-One glaring weakness of the {{PAGENAME}} is her tendency to quickly flood from any breach damage. This is especially true if your secondary gun's ammo rack were detonated (to which it oftens do so), as this will cause the ship to quickly lose over 70% of bouyancy in just 10 seconds. Effectively immobilising the ship. As such, be sure to plug any hull leaks as soon as possible to minimize the risks of the ship being overwhelmed by flood damage.

 The Chapayev has access to the formidable 152 mm/57 B-38. It is nothing new to see potent weapons with devastating explosive power with a relatively quick firing rate, and the B-38 is no exception. They have a wide variety of different purpose ammunition, from solely anti-ship ammunition to long range anti-aircraft ammunition. The stock ammunition is HE. While this round lacks penetration power, the explosive filler in it is more than enough to decimate lightly armoured vessels in seconds. The SAPBC round is a decent jack-of-all-trades when it comes to destroying enemy vessels, with decent explosive filler as well as increased penetration compared to the HE shell. The APCBC round, an new addition compared to previous vessels, is an essential tool when fighting heavily armoured cruisers and battleships. While it has significantly reduced explosive filler compared to other rounds, it increases the combat capabilities of the Chapayev against heavily armoured cruisers. While using APCBC, aiming at critical components is crucial. Ammunition racks, engine compartments, and any other critical components are to be targeted while using these rounds as the reduced filler will not cause as much damage.

-The Chapayev is one of the two Soviet cruisers with access to 100 mm/70 SM-5-1 cannons. While these turrets are very similar to the [[130 mm/58 SM-2-1 (130 mm)|130 mm/58 SM-2-1]], they do have a reduced performance due to the reduced calibre. They have the exact same use as when used in the [[Spokoinyy]], delivering large numbers of rounds to surface targets and can act as very powerful AAA. It is nothing new that this weapon system has a very high ROF for its calibre (~30 RPM considering it is a two cannon mount), it has half of what cannons like the [[100 mm/55 MLE model 53 (100 mm)|100 mm/55 MLE model 53]] have (~60 RPM). However, the Chapayev has four turrets of two cannons each, meaning the total RPM of the Chapayev's 100 mm cannons is close to ~120 RPM which is substantially higher than most high-calibre weapon systems seen in other vessels. It is only surpassed by the [[Sverdlov]] as it has six turrets and not four.

 This systems offers a wide variety of purposes when it comes to all types of engagements. Point blank defense, reliable long-range AAA, Swiss cheese maker of lightly armoured vessels, or just additional turrets to make minor damage to disable critical components and weapon systems of larger vessels. These guns have access to the same type of ammunition as the 130 mm seen in the Spokoinyy have with a new addition:  HE, SAPBC, HE-VT* and HE-TF. The use of this gun is pretty straight forward as it is exactly as in the Spokoinyy. However, the increased number of turrets significantly increases the AA capabilities, not only because it is able to put much more rounds in the air but all of these rounds can be HE-VT*. With eight rounds per salvo, each with 815 g explosive filler and a 15 m trigger radius, flying at 995 m/s, fired every four seconds, these guns almost guarantee significant damage towards any unfortunate aircraft.

 === Design and development ===
-The Chapayev class, or Project 68, was designed as a follow up to the previous Kirov class of light cruisers. The ships were designed with a new main armament of twelve 6-inch guns, compared to the nine 7-inch guns of the Kirov class. The ship was also significantly larger, displacing almost 5000 tons more than the preceding Kirovs. Initially, it was planned that a total of 17 ships would be built, but only seven ships had been started when the Germans invaded. The Chapayev was the first of these ships, launched in 1941 just before the invasion. Two of the seven hulls were destroyed on their slipways by the German forces, but the remaining five vessels were completed after the war in 1950.

-Chapayev displaced 14 000 tons full load and had a complement of 840. Her main armament consisted of twelve 6-inch (152 mm) guns in four triple mounts, similar to the comparable British and American cruiser classes. Being completed after the war, she also carried an extremely heavy anti-aircraft armament of eight 100 mm dual-purpose guns in double mounts, and 28 37 mm anti aircraft guns. She also had six beam torpedo tubes, which were removed later on. Chapayev had been built with a seaplane catapult and hangar, but these were swiftly removed before her completion as there was no need for them in the postwar naval environment.

 {{main|152 mm/57 B-38 (152 mm)}}
-The Chapayev is one of the four Soviet cruisers with access to the formidable 152 mm/57 B-38. It is nothing new to see potent weapons with devastating explosive power with a relatively quick firing rate. The B-38 are no exception. They have a wide variety of different purpose ammunition, from solely anti-ship ammunition to long range anti-aircraft ammunition. The stock ammunition is HE. While this round lacks penetration power, the explosive filler in it is more than enough to decimate lightly armoured vessels in seconds. The SAPBC round is a decent jack-of-all-trades when it comes to destroying enemy vessels, with decent explosive filler as well as increased penetration compared to the HE shell. The APCBC round, an new addition compared to previous vessels, is an essential tool when fighting heavily armoured cruisers and battleships. While it has significantly reduced explosive filler compared to other rounds, it increases the combat capabilities of the Chapayev against heavily armoured cruisers. While using APCBC, aiming at critical components is crucial. Ammunition racks, engine compartments, and any other critical components are to be targeted while using these rounds as the reduced filler will not cause as much damage.
