Through the Spy Glass: Provorny
Provorny was a Type 1936A destroyer notable for her unusual design featuring cruiser-sized main battery guns. Originally commissioned into the Kriegsmarine as Z-33 in February 1943, the ship took part in World War II operations in the Arctic and off the coast of Norway. After the war, the ship was transferred to the U.S.S.R. as part of war reparations and received the name Provorny. She served in the Baltic Fleet until 1956.
Like many other Soviet destroyers in Legends, Provorny has a large HP pool but modest concealment, maneuverability, and speed. However, when it comes to her main battery guns, she's a true beast, boasting some of the highest damage per minute and single-shot damage among same-tier destroyers. This is especially true when using AP shells, which offer strong penetration and improved ricochet angles. She's also equipped with the Repair Party consumable to further increase her survivability in battle.
Recommended upgrades:
- Main Battery Mod. 2
- Propulsion Mod. 2
- Concealment System Mod. 1
