Venezia — Italian Legendary Tier Cruiser.

The project of a ship with 8-inch (203 mm) main battery guns and a high speed that embodies the achivements of Italian shipbuilding in the early 1940s. It represents the development of heavy cruisers in increasing the number of main battery guns to 15.

Venezia was released as a Bureau project reward on April 29th, 2024.


Year of Design: 1943

Ship Traits
Guns Aplenty: A high number of guns allows for a lot of damage from a single salvo.	Sure Shot: Shells with a good ballistic trajectory maintain velocity, making aiming easier.	SAP Shells: Equipped or can be equipped with SAP shells that deal consistent damage, ricochet less, but can't start fires.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• With fifteen (15) 203mm guns, Venezia's broadside can be devastating
• Excellent ballistics, high shell velocity and flat shell arcs
• Incredible handling for a vessel of this size, with great turning radius and blazing-fast speed
• The Exhaust Smoke Generatorallows to quickly disengage while maintaining full speed
• Good continuous damage output on her anti-aircraft guns
• Extended above the waterline belt reaches the tip of the bow and is 40mm thick
• Armed with torpedoes with long range and low detectability
• Very good turret angles for a ship with 5 turrets

Cons:

• Very poor reload speed for a heavy cruiser
• The placement of her turrets allows only 2 of her 5 turrets to be available when bow-in
• Poorly armored turrets can be disabled/destroyed often
• Despite good anti-aircraft armament, the performance is impaired by poor range
• SAP shells lose a lot of effectiveness if they cannot penetrate or hit saturated areas
• Lacks utility tools such as Surveillance Radarand Sonar
