Provorny is a Tier VII Soviet destroyer with a Repair Party, a consumable most DDs in the cohort do not get. The heal lets her sustain trades and stay in the cap contest after the first detection cycle; that is the kit, not a panic button. Standout traits: best HE fire chance in T7 DDs (12) and best AP fuse timer in T7 DDs (0.025 s).
Hold concealment edges around the contested cap and lean into trades the heal can recover. The Repair Party means you survive the first detection cycle other DDs do not, but it does not let you brawl open-water; stay near cover or smoke when the heal is on cooldown.
The heal is part of the kit, not a save: most charges should land after a clean trade in cover, not mid-spotting cycle in open water. Used reactively, it covers one cap fight; used proactively, it covers two.
+8% speed, 120 s duration. Engine Boost consumable temporarily raises top speed. Mobility on demand to reposition, chase a kill, or break contact.
12.0% fire chance per HE shell, best of T7 DDs.
0.03 s AP fuse timer, best of T7 DDs. Shells travel deeper before detonating; citadels through belt armor more reliably.
10.4 mm overmatch threshold, best of T7 DDs. Punishes bow-tanking ships peers can't crack.
25.0 mm AP arming threshold, worst of T7 DDs. Over-pens thin plates; the trade-off pays off when most targets are battleship belt armor.
102.0 m max horizontal dispersion, worst of T7 DDs. Long-range salvos are noticeably wider than peers'.

Where Provorny sits among Tier VII DDs (33 ships). Notable standouts are shown first; the rest of the cohort-ranked stats are in the expand below. Acquisition variants (Black Friday, Founders Edition) are counted once with their base ship, not as separate peers.
Not standouts for Provorny -- here's where she sits on every other ranked stat in the cohort. Stats tagged NORM are tied across more than half the cohort, so the value is the cohort default rather than a standout.

Matches the in-game spec card.Same formula at the ship's max firing range (14.5 km), where the shell has slowed to 466.1 m/s: $P = 10^{-7}\cdot 2300 \cdot 45^{0.69} \cdot 0.15^{-1.07} \cdot 466.1^{1.38} = 116.6\,\text{mm}$.In-game data: 30 mm = 150 mm caliber / 5 (non-standard HE penetration ratio).floor(150 mm caliber / 14.3) = 10 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass.

Formula validated against in-game captures on California, Sumner, Manfred von Richthofen, Dante Alighieri (exact) and within +/-17% on the remaining verified ships.Longest-reaching aura across AA-only + dual-purpose auras.SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.Hull HP 19,600, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are the exact in-game values, not estimated.
Overmatched by 131+ guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.
Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 37%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the ballistics tool →
| Section | Plates | HP cap | Threats | Tactic |

| Stern | 19 mm primary (range 19–20 mm) | 1,900 (10% of HP) | Overmatched by 283mm+ (Scharnhorst, Scharnhorst '43)Angle bounces 203mm19 mm: HE pens from 127mm+ | Mirror of bow. Same fast saturation. |
| Citadel | 25 mm primary (range 13–25 mm) | ≈ 165,500 (effectively no cap) | Citadel pen: full damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage | Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. An AP citadel penetration deals the shell's full damage, the biggest single hit available; only over-penetrations are damped, to ×0.10. |
| Superstructure | 13 mm | 1,400 (7% of HP) | Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage | Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP). |
| AA mount (37 mm mount) | separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP | 200 per-mount HP | Destroyed at 0 HP | Per-mount HP for the heaviest AA on this ship. An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast. |
| Rudder (module) | separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP | 5,900 module HP | Incapacitated at 0 HP | When module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party. |
Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
