LT Rusty takes the Soviet Tier V destroyer, the Gnevny, and thrashes the enemy. Unfortunately, the rest of his team was determined to die futilely.

This was a good one. I was really by that PHOENIX that got me, though. The guy was good.
Running aground at the end, that was … I’m not going to say it was intentional, not exactly, but I knew it was almost certainly going to happen. I held course a little longer than I should have if I wanted to come right and pass through the channel in order to let the PHOENIX clear the headland and get my torpedoes off. I could still have avoided the island by coming to port and letting it pass to starboard, but that would have left me exposed and I’d have still died.
The torpedoes on the GNEVNY are stupid fast and therefore hard to avoid, but they’re also extremely short-ranged at only 4,000 yards. (I think they’re the shortest-ranged torpedoes in the game, period, or at least tied for it, perhaps. They’re certainly the shortest-ranged torpedoes in Tier V.)
