Player Opinion

Cruiser - Venezia

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
