===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
Topping off the Russian Heavy Cruiser line, ''Petropavlovsk'' replaces ''[[Moskva]]'' as the Tier X Cruiser representative of her nation alongside her light cruiser counterpart ''[[Alexander Nevsky]]''.
* Pro 2


'''Armor and Survivability'''
===Cons===
''Petropavlovsk'' is one of the most durable cruisers in the game thanks to her resilient armor scheme. Her lower bow and stern sections are protected by 40mm armor, deflecting any AP shot when angled correctly. Her deck and upper side armor are similarly armored, carrying 40mm armor that will shrug off most HE shells. Her citadel is surprisingly hard to hit even though it sits above water, potentially allowing ''Petropavlovsk'' to get away with maneuvers that would instantly kill other cruisers. Combined with a large 55,800 base HP pool, a well-played Petro will prove very difficult to kill.
* Con 1
* Con 2


'''Main Armament'''


''Petropavlovsk'' guns boast a number of interesting quirks that make them very unique. To start off, all her turrets can rotate the full 360° degrees, allowing her to consistently keep all turrets oriented on target even when maneuvering side to side. She fires one of the most powerful cruiser AP rounds with penetration capabilities closer to a BB than a cruiser. She can land citadels on broadside BBs, even out to 15km. Extremely fast shells and slightly improved bounce angles further enhance her AP. Combined with her enhanced accuracy below 14km, skilled players can aim for weakpoints on an enemy to land citadel hits. Her fast shells even allow her to reliably hit DDs that most other cruisers will struggle with

However, ''Petropavlovsk'' 's guns have two major drawbacks, namely poor HE firepower and worse dispersion past 14km. ''Petropavlovsk'' 's HE firepower is the worst of the Tier 10 cruisers, being closer to Tier 8 cruiser in terms of damage output. She will struggle to damage heavily angled targets. Due to her unique dispersion curve, Petro suffers from poor accuracy past 14km. Often times it's better to avoid long range combat and instead use concealment to get as close to the enemy as possible before opening fire.

Essentially, ''Petropavlovsk'' 's guns are designed for decisive sub-14km engagements. Her AP is amazing at punishing broadsides. Should the enemy be unwilling, she can still use HE though with notably less efficiency.

Though generally unremarkable, the secondaries may occasionally light fires on close targets. Don't count on their damage output however as they will rarely hit anything because of their poor base accuracy.

''Petropavlovsk'' boasts formidable AA defenses due to her excellent long-range AA and her high flak output. She will put out at least 8 flak puffs per instance, making it difficult for most CVs to fly through them unharmed. When boosted by DFAA, a lucky flak wall will annihilate entire squads of planes. Her continuous AA is generally above average mostly because of her 6.6km range AA and relatively powerful long-range AA DPS.

Due to ''Petropavlovsk'' 's poor maneuverability, she is somewhat vulnerable to attacks that do penetrate her AA screen. Large turning radius and poor rudder shift time makes it easier for enemy CVs to line up their attacks, especially if Petro is positioned near islands. Her armor will only protect against RN Rockets, RN level bombers, and IJN Rockets; everything else will punch through her armor.
'''Maneuverability'''


As mentioned above, ''Petropavlovsk'' 's overall maneuverability more akin to a battleship than a cruiser. A large turning radius combined with slow rudder shift time makes it difficult to perform hard maneuverers, like when dodging torpedoes. Her base top speed is also lacking, only outrunning ''Hindenberg'', ''Plymouth'', and Goliath for Tier 10 cruisers. Even some BBs can beat or match her top speed.

Due to her poor maneuverability, ''Petropavlovsk'' relies more on her armor and HP pool to survive engagements.

'''Concealment'''


With a full concealment build, ''Petropavlovsk'' can lower her surface detection to 12.4km and her aerial detection to 7.4km.
It is recommended to maximize her concealment as it will nearly match her {{Surveillance Radar}} range.
If detected, she can immediately pop radar and catch DDs in her range, popping off 2 salvoes if the player has his turrets pointing in the right location.
Good concealment can help in many other ways, such as getting to a position without being shot at, or sneaking up to an unsuspecting ship before opening fire.


'''Playstyle'''
</div></div></div>
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>Airstrike</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div><div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div>


''Petropavlovsk'' offers a fairly unique playstyle as a tanky aggressive cruiser. Her tankiness and respectable concealment allow her to take up more forward positions. She performs at her best in aggressive pushes, using her radar to chase DDs away and durability to take advantageous powerful positions. This synergizes with her gun characteristics, being more accurate the closer the target is. The keys to her success are both timing and situational awareness. If the enemy is sufficiently weakened (like if you outnumber them), it is usually a good time to push into them. Pushing along the flanks will give her a positional advantage, being able to catch enemy broadsides or forcing them to retreat. Once she gets behind cover, she can dig in and defend the cap or push the advantage and pincer the enemy. A common tactic is to sit bow in next to an island, the thick bow and deck armor protects her from the front while the island protects her broadside. If you can safely position near a cap, you can effectively deny it to enemy DDs due to her radar.

If the enemy is too strong to push, then ''Petropavlovsk'' performs decently in the kiting role. Her excellent AP shells can citadel broadside ships while her radar can zone out DDs from chasing her. However, she falls behind other cruisers due to her anemic HE output. She struggles to damage heavily angled ships, especially at longer ranges where her accuracy becomes significantly worse than other cruisers. If placed into this dilemma, it is recommended to kite away from your team to create crossfires. If the enemy pushes towards the rest of your team, you can punish their vulnerable broadsides. If they come for you, then you can draw them away from the objectives and buy valuable time for your team.

When possible avoid prolonged engagements past 14km. Petro's guns become significantly less accurate the further out the target is. It is not uncommon to straddle targets near her max range, even with perfect aim due to the massive penalty to her vertical dispersion. Sometimes it is better to stay concealed so you can sneak up and fight at more favorable combat ranges.

Overall, ''Petropavlovsk'' is meant to be played as an aggressive close-range pushing cruiser. Though decent as a kiting ship, she performs best on the flanks when shooting at enemy broadsides. She can prove tough to kill, forcing enemies to waste valuable resources to fight her. Players wanting something different from the multiple kiting cruisers should consider looking at Petro.


'''Competitive Modes'''
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PRSC310_Petropavlovsk}}


In competitive formats such as Clan Battles, ''Petropavlovsk'' is a very common sight on the battlefield. She is usually placed in an anchor position, using her amazing durability and useful utility to hold key positions. As part of a pushing composition, ''Petropavlovsk'' can survive prolonged focus fire, helping to take heat off her less durable teammates. With proper coordination, she can prove nigh unkillable that can translate to a capture point advantage, and eventually a decisive point advantage. If the player wants a straightforward and powerful ship for competitive modes, look no further than ''Petropavlovsk''.


'''Note''': ''Petropavlovsk'' is often limited or banned in Clan Battles and King of the Seas. Players wanting to participate in these formats should make sure they have other viable ships for competitive.

The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 2''':  {{Damage Control System Modification 1}} ''or'' {{Surveillance Radar Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 3''':  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 4''':  {{Propulsion Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 5''':  {{Concealment System Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 6''': {{Main Battery Modification 3}}
 
Propulsion mod is recommended as ''Petropavlovsk'' will spend most of her time stationary or at slow speed.
For slot 2, take either {{Surveillance Radar Modification 1}} or {{Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1}}. If neither of those are available, then {{Damage Control System Modification 1}} is the next best option.  
''Petropavlovsk'' 's performance is poor at her max range, so faster reload will provide more benefits.

Petropavlovsk — U.S.S.R. Tech Tree Tier X Cruiser.

After Nikolay Kuznetsov was removed from the post of the People's Commissar of the Navy in January 1947, the terms of reference for the construction of a Project 82 cruiser were edited numerous times. Two draft designs were presented in August 1947, and later, they were combined. The joint project had 220 mm main battery guns, higher speed, and lower displacement. This project was a tactically advantageous solution: One of the ship's main tasks was to oppose the U.S. Des Moines-class heavy cruisers.
