Player Opinion
Performance
Expanding the Regia Marina’s presence in World of Warships is Tier V battleship Giulio Cesare. Fans of Japanese Tier V battleship Kongo will find a lot to like about this sleek Italian capital ship.
Cesare features ten 320mm guns with decent dispersion and an above average sigma value for her tier, leading to a main battery that produces tight shell groupings. She also boasts a relatively high speed — only slightly slower than Kongo — as well as decent AA and armor protection. Subsequently, Cesare straddles the line between battleship and cruiser: faster than most of the BB's at tier, but far more durable than the notoriously easy-to-kill Tier V cruisers. This allows her to utilize her speed to take on the battlecruiser role that the slower Tier V battleships are unable to fill. She has some notable deficiencies: her torpedo protection is weaker than most of her counterparts, her rudder shift time is on the slow side for the tier, and her health pool is relatively small (only Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya is worse). Still, she is a well-rounded ship overall and is comfortable to play for veterans of other mid-tier battleships.
Captains who enjoy a battlecruiser play style will enjoy the mix of speed and firepower that Giulio Cesare brings to the battle.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Giulio Cesare from the NA forums
Pros:
- Armor belt covers most of the hull and extends across the stern of the ship, offering extra protection.
- Her citadel is small and well armored, making it difficult to reliably hit.
- Second fastest Tier V battleship at 27 knots.
- Lowest detection range of the Tier V battleships at 13.3km.
- Quick turret traverse time for a battleship.
Cons:
- Lower amount of hit points than most Tier V battleships; only 2,000 hit points more than Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya, and nearly 10,000 hit points less than Kongo
- Low torpedo damage reduction for her tier.
- Armor piercing shells may struggle to damage distant or angled targets.
- The rear turrets require the ship to expose a large portion of her side to fire.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:
- Slot 1: Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: AA Guns Modification 2*
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1
Upgrade Slot 2 allows players to mount AA Guns Modification 2, which extends the firing range of anti-aircraft mounts to defend against attacking planes. Players may also choose to mount Secondary Battery Modification 2 to increase the firing range and accuracy of the secondary battery. Although this option is viable for players who enjoy brawling or wish to defend against a destroyer at close range, enemy aircraft will prove to be a more common threat.
Commander Skills
Like most battleships, Giulio Cesare benefits most from commander skills that maximize her survivability. This is doubly important for her given the (small) size of her health pool. Her AA is also worth investing some skill points and modules in, in order to increase its range.

Consumables
' can equip the following consumables:
Damage Control Party II () or Repair Party II () is recommended for players who find the ship easily set afire.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, ' comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Giulio Cesare captains should focus on survivability as the primary goal of its signal loadout. Credit and experience signals may also be taken, but as Giulio Cesare is a mid-tier ship she does not see as much experience and credit gains compared to her higher tiered counterparts. For boosting survivability, November Foxtrot (), India Delta (), and India Yankee () are all important signals to take. November Echo Setteseven () may also help survivability by increasing the damage per second of the anti-aircraft guns, while mounting Sierra Mike () will aid in maneuverability. The economic and special flags may also be used on the Giulio Cesare, however if low on these signal flags they are best saved for higher tiered premium ships as they provide more gains in experience and credits.
