Get as close as you can to enemy cruisers and battleships while using your very long armor belt to bounce every AP shell fired at your side. Kronshtadt has very high AP pen which can citadel and one shot most BB's at close range. You will be the prime target and get shot a lot, however you are one of the best ships in the game to "blap" cruisers and battleships. DO NOT BOW TANK... your bow will not stop AP shells, but your armor belt will when angled sharply. This build is all about getting close and doing max damage.
