Brindisi — Italian Tier IX cruiser.

A further development of the preceding project, with the main battery reinforced by adding the fourth main gun turret. The elevation angle of the 203 mm guns made it possible to fire up at hostile aircraft.

Performance

For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Brindisi is a somewhat odd upgrade from the previous ship, Amalfi. The most obvious change is the addition of a fourth turret on her stern; however, this comes at the cost of an increased reload. Brindisi has 20 second reload vs. Amalfi's 16 second reload. Even with the upgrade, Main Battery Modification 3 , her reload is only reduced to 17.6 seconds. This trade-off between extra barrels and reload when moving up a tier isn't unique to this line; the move from Baltimore to Buffalo has a similar trade. Other improvements include extra hit points, a slightly faster rudder, and an extra kilometer of range.

Brindisi's play style is no different from that of Amalfi. Captains who played through the previous ship can transfer their knowledge without issue. One thing to consider, however, is that trying to keep all four guns on target may not always be the best choice, as the resulting amount of side shown can be potentially deadly.

Her game play is identical to other ships in the line; knowing where to aim to maximize the damage done by SAP, switching to AP for Russian and German battleships, focusing destroyers and angled cruisers, and re-positioning to maximize your effect on a battle.

Pros:

50 mm extended belt allows her to brawl enemy battleships with proper angling.
Tight turning radius for a ship of her size.
High top speed.
Increased number of guns over Amalfi.

Cons:

20 second reload on main guns.
Weak mid-section deck (25 mm) will be overmatched by most battleship guns she will face.
Relatively lack luster AA values.
Standard limitations of only having SAP and AP.
