Stalingrand will be an upcoming Tier X Soviet Cruiser, this warship was first announced during Wargaming Fest 2017. It was a smaller and less-expensive counterpart to the Kronshtadt-class battlecruisers of 1939.
The original role was for a light, fast ship intended to break up attacks by British fast-cruiser forces that might attempt bombardment of Russia’s northern ports. The design would have been able to outgun any ship with similar speed, or outrun anything more heavily armed. Design work had just started when the German invasion of the Soviet Union opened and the design was put on hold.

It should be 32 mm plating. What about he ammo? Without it its a crapy ship…

…What?
All your historical data is just plainly wrong. The “Stalingrad” is a post-war design of “large cruiser” (in USSR she was called just “heavy cruiser”), which main goal was to serve as backbone of light cruisers & destroyers squadrons. She was NOT “smaller and cheaper” – she was bigger, longer, faster, and she carried much more powerfull extra-long barreled 12-inch guns.

To be honest, I was expecting Kronshtadt as tier VII in the Soviet BB line, and Stalingrad as the tier VIII. Instead they make them both high tier reward ships…
