P-700 Granit — Equipment Review

P-700 Granit — Heavy Cruise Missile / ASM

Quick Stats

What That Means in Battle

Pros

• Devastating burst damage: 45,000 damage per missile means even a single hit on a cruiser or battleship hurts big time. Good for heavy strike builds where one shot might turn the tide.
• Exceptional range: With its relatively long range (12–13 km), you can strike from a safe distance — useful for sniping heavy ships or hitting from cover/behind islands.
• Efficient for suppression: Because of high damage, it's ideal when enemy AA is distracted or weakened: you don't need a volley — one well-placed missile can be enough.

Cons

• Slow speed (~233 knots): Enemy AA / CIWS has more time to shoot it down. Granit's missile health & durability are weaker compared to faster missiles, so interception is common if enemy is alert.
• Very long lock-on time (~15 seconds): Target has time to reposition, engage defenses, or escape. Not great for fast engagements or agile destroyers.
• Vulnerability in follow-ups: Reload is technically fast (4s) — but due to vulnerability and long lock-on, rapid follow-up shots often fail if the first gets intercepted.

Combat Characteristics

• Single-shot finisher: Designed to inflict maximum damage in one hit — perfect for eliminating high-value targets or weakened ships.
• Long-range engagement: Allows you to strike from beyond most effective AA ranges, keeping your ship safer during attack runs.
• Heavy warhead: The sheer destructive power makes it incredibly valuable in coordinated fleet strikes or when enemy defenses are compromised.

Best Use Cases

Use Granit on heavy ships or subs when you expect enemy AA to be suppressed (e.g. after friendly missiles, drones, or distractions). It's best for surprise long-range strikes or finishing off high-value ships that are focusing elsewhere. Avoid using Granit in close-range fights or against alert enemies with strong AA.

The missile excels at:

• Opening devastating surprise attacks from range
• Punishing stationary or distracted targets
• Coordinated strikes with teammate distractions
• High-value target elimination in PvP

Playstyle

The P-700 Granit is a disciplined, high-risk / high-reward weapon. It requires patience and positioning — you need to either catch enemies off-guard, distract their defenses, or target isolated high-value ships. Success depends on timing and tactical awareness rather than raw spray-and-pray firepower. In capable hands, it's a game-changer; in careless hands, it's wasted ammo.
