Description

GarageImage Ognevoy.jpg


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 Soviet destroyers.

General info

Survivability and armour

Hull is made of 11 mm of steel plates while turrets are protected by thinner 8 mm steel. The superstructure is protected by 11 mm steel. Due to being a destroyer this ship is lacking in armour in favor for more speed.

Mobility

A bit slower than Frunze (48 vs 38), though the player will notice better rudder performance when compared to the Frunze.

Armament

Primary armament

Main article: B-13 (130 mm)

The Ognevoy is a ship where a player is introduced to the famous Soviet 130 mm naval guns. Considered both upgrade/downgrade from Frunze due to having only 2 turrets, losing just one you have only 50% 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

Main article: 39-K (76 mm)

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

The main improvement over Frunze allows a player to both engage air and naval targets (PT- boats).

37 mm gets a full HE- belt.

12.7 mm gets AP-belt most of the time.

Torpedo armament

Main article: 53-39

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 anti-aircraft weapons and decent torpedoes. A bit slow, but weaknesses are well compensated by strengths. If a player is in the division, it is a good escort ship.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using certain definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".

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.
