Krążownik pancerny Pierieswiet - 05.04.2011

Niniejszy okręt to zmodernizowany Riurik - pomysł wziąłem z forum tsushima.su (stamtąd też pochodzi poniższa grafika). Okręt został powiększony, zwiększyła się liczba artylerii 10- i 8-calowej, pogrubiony został pancerz oraz nieco wzrosła prędkość. Powstały okręt byłby zdecydowanie najsilniejszy w swojej klasie, ale jednocześnie - byłby też jej epigonem - jako że równocześnie budowano już krążowniki liniowe, które wkrótce wyparły krążowniki pancerne. Choć akurat taki okręt, w starciu z krążownikiem liniowym niekoniecznie musiałby stać na straconej pozycji..
