 Located amidships is a catapult with one '''Beriev Be-2''' (aka '''KOR-1''') scout plane which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. Alongside the typical abilities of strafing with its two light machine guns, dropping 2 x 50 kg bombs, and capping zones, the KOR-1 and other scout planes have the added ability to lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new!

-As with the other Kirov-class cruisers, the Maxim Gorky is best described as an oversized light cruiser. She dwarves most of the other proper light cruisers and rivals the size of a heavy cruiser (just shorter than [[Mogami (Family)|Mogami-class]] heavy cruisers by 13 m). The Gorky's size is essentially a double-edged sword: it can be easily targeted at any ranges, yet it's very survivable despite only having a simple 70 mm of citadel armour, this is because most of the Gorky's critical components (such as main battery ammo racks and engines) were located inside the citadel sitting just below the waterline. This essentially turned the whole upper hull into a huge bullet sponge that can contain a lot of damage, save for a well-struck shot. Other than the citadel armour, Gorky's main turrets are also covered with 70 mm of armour to protect it from HE shells.

 However, as mentioned above, Gorky lacks any substantial anti-fragmentation armour to protect her crew from incoming fire. This is essentially her Achilles' heels as she can be overwhelmed by several enemy ships firing HE shells at her. She is also vulnerable to bombs and torpedoes due to lack of hull armour as well.
