Kiev at Tier 8 is the first of the VMF destroyers after the branch-point of the Minsk that leads eventually to the Khabarovsk at Tier 10. She has two major playstyles - with smoke, as a standard destroyer, and as a "run and gun" ship utilizing her speed to avoid incoming fire, sacrificing her smokescreen for a repair party ("heal").
In order to challenge myself, I chose this no-smoke option for the final sprint to the Tier 9 Tashkent and did it in Randoms rather than my usual preference for co-op. I had the benefit of a good team, but unless you are super-godlike, it takes a good team to make a win. Hats off to them all.
This is a Twitch stream highlight, and it was recorded "live" without any attempt at post-hoc analysis.
