Manoeuvrability is also excellent, allowing it to avoid even a full torpedo walls after they are spotted. Very few light cruisers feature better mobility than Kerch or her sister [[RN Eugenio di Savoia]] - most notably [[RN Raimondo Montecuccoli]].

-Firing 8-shell 152mm broadside puts Kerch in an obvious disadvantage against most of its peers, and without a high rate of fire its sustained damage output per minute is not impressive either. Looking at the most extreme: [[Kirov]] can output nearly triple the HE-equivalent using respective ships default shells.

-Default HE shells are great against destroyers and other weakly or unarmoured targets, but having a relatively low explosive filler, they fail to consistently ignite enemy warships on fire. APHEBC Palla shells on the other hand are great at causing enemy magazines to explode, as the ballistic cap makes these shells perform exceptionally well against angled armour, and thus - penetrating deep into the hull even at extreme ranges. HE-TF are your typical anti-air shells, they can be relatively useful thanks to the turrets vertical guidance of up to +45° and a high shell velocity 935 m/s.
