Description

The Pr.30, Ognevoy, 1944 is a rank I Russian destroyer with a battle rating of 4.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.87 "Locked On". This is the ship which is a stepping stone to Russian DD's.

General info

Survivability and armor

Hull is made of 11mm of steel plates, while turrets are protected by 8 mm steel. The superstructure is protected by 11mm steel. It is a destroyer, so it doesn't have good armor, DA.

Mobility

A bit slower than Frunze (48 vs 38), but this is a WW2 destroyer, not WW1 so deal with it.

Armament

Primary armament

This is the time, where a player gets introduced into famous Soviet 130mm naval guns. Considered both upgrade/ downgrade from Frunze due to having only 2 turrets, so if one of them gets knocked out of action, you have only 50 percent of your guns are available to engage opponents. Three types of shells are available. Basic HE, and then during the progress, the player can unlock PB-46A semi-armor piercing and ZS-46RS high-explosive variable time fuze shell. Every shell is a good pick.

Secondary armament

There is only one secondary gun, located behind the second rangefinder. Performance is ok against both surface and air targets, a player gets similar shells as the main armament.

Anti-aircraft armament

A big improvement over Frunze, a player can expect to engage both air and naval targets (PT- boats) and get on top if odds are in his favor.

37 mm gets a full HE- belt.

12.7mm gets AP-belt most of the time.

Torpedo armament

Torpedoes launchers are standard equipment on many ships and boats. Torpedoes are a significant means of defeating an opponent. Evaluate the position of the torpedo launchers, discuss the ammunition available, firing specifics such as dead zones, features of the torpedoes themselves, etc.

If there is no torpedo armament, remove this section.

Usage in battles

This is a good all-around destroyer. Good guns, good aa, decent topredoes. A bit slow, but weaknesses are well compensated by strengths. If a player is in the division, it is a good escort ship.

History

Interesting enough, there is not that much known about this ship. This class of ships was intended to be an improvement over Project 7 and Project 7U destroyers. Ognevoy guns are straight out of Tashkent Destroyer when the ship was salvaged. Only two ships were constructed before and during WW2, rest was completed after, which made the way for the Skoryy-class of destroyers. The combat record of Ognevoy itself is unknown, but some sources indicate that it served to its full potential.
