Aircraft Carriers in general have been a long hated element of the game for those who just want to fight surface battles between gun warships.Sinop is tier for tier one of the strongest ships in the entire game and a dominant force in the 16th Ranked Season, while Kremlin is at a minimum in the top 3 best non-Carrier ships in the entire game. The two standouts however are the Tier 7 Sinop and Tier 10 Kremlin. The Russian Battleship line is ship after ship of extremely tanky ships with large health pools, good maneuverability, turret traverses and good weaponry.It's generally considered that the Russian tech tree lines don't have a single bad line, unlike say, the Germans, who have a mediocre Destroyer line and a terrible Battleship line.Instead they are removed from sale, the ultimate confirmation that a ship was too powerful to allow to keep being acquired. The game developer, Wargaming, has a policy of not nerfing premium ships after they are released, to avoid causing fights with players who have spent money on those ships.

World of Warships has many premium ships that are blatantly superior to the tech tree ships.
