Her dual-purpose main guns give her a slight range advantage over Petropavlovsk but her heavy cruiser counterpart deals more continuous and flak damage. While her anti-aircraft defenses aren’t quite at the level of Petropavlovsk, it is still more than enough to cover her allies and deter aircraft strikes.
But captains should remember she is still a light cruiser, and shouldn’t be played too aggressively just to be able to use her radar. With a 12km range and good duration, Nevsky is a potent threat to destroyers.
Like the other Tier VIII+ tech tree Russian cruisers, Nevsky has access to the Surveillance Radar consumable. While they’re not as in-your-face as the 4km torpedoes found on the mid tier cruisers, their 8km range compared to Nevsky’s high detection range mean they’re still primarily defensive or ambush weapons. Nevsky's torpedoes are nearly identical to those on Donskoi, sacrificing a little bit of reload for slightly faster speed. Her AP penetration is unusually high for light cruiser caliber guns, making it surprisingly effective against even battleship upper belts at range. However, where most light cruisers tend to favor HE as their primary shell type, players should look for opportunities to use Nevsky’s Armor Piercing shells whenever possible. Like many light cruisers, her High Explosive shells have a respectable fire chance but lack the penetration to directly damage most battleship plating. While she shares Dmitri Donskoi's gun caliber and similar shell stats, Nevsky returns to the faster reload speeds of the mid tier light cruisers. Further emphasizing the strength of her guns, Nevsky also has one of the longest firing ranges among Tier X cruisers. Featuring one of the highest shell velocities in the game, her excellent ballistics mean she can comfortably engage targets at any range. Nevsky is armed with eight (8) 180mm guns in four (4) twin turrets. Nevsky is primarily a DPS cruiser that prefers being at range or on flanks, much like the Tier X heavy cruisers Venezia, Hindenburg, and Henri IV. Topping off the Russian light cruiser line, Alexander Nevsky is the pinnacle of the longer range play style players have become accustomed to with the lower tiers.
