Proposed Russian (What IF fleet?)

Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya and Parizhskaya Komuna - Gangut Class BB x 2 = 48 points

Petropavlovsk - Tallinn Class CA = 16 points
Use Admiral Hipper model but USS San Francisco Stat card - the unfinished Lutzow of the Hipper class was sold by the Germans to Russia in 1940 but was only partially completed at the start of the war in 1941

Voroshilov and Kalinin - Kirov Class CL x2 = 20 points

Sokrushitelnyi, Gnevnyi, Rezkiy, Gromkiy and Iziaslav - Gnevnyi Class DD x6 =36 points

Ilyushin 1l-4 Medium range bomber x2 = 24 points
Use G4M “Betty” model and Barracuda MK. II Stat card - repaint

Yak 9k - Carrier based variant Fighter x2 = 10 points
Use Sea Hurricane model and Stat card - repaint

Unnamed - Project 71 Carrier CVL = 16 points
Use modified HMS Illustrious model but USS Princeton Stat card - similar in appearance to Illustrious class but about 110’ shorter and with two down draft funnels similar to the Akagi

Polikarpov I16 - Project 71 Fighter = 6 points
Use Martlet model and Stat card - repaint

Sukhoi Su-2 Ivanov = Project 71 Dive/Torpedo Bomber = 12 Points
Use Barracuda MK. II model and Stat card - repaint

Series Xbis Sub = 12 points
Use USS Barb sub and Stat card

This is my attempt at a balanced 200 point Russian Baltic Fleet - kept it all Allied legal although some of the models used aren’t - the conversion work on the carrier should be fun as well as the repaints of the aircraft.

If any one has any suggestions to improve this concept they would be appreciated. I still need to name the carrier and would like to add another 100 points to the fleet in the future.

Thanks, TJ

Well the first real CV the Soviets had, as opposed to the Heli-carriers and VSTOL ones, was named Admiral Kuznetsov.
