Conte di Cavour — Italian Tier V battleship.

Battleships of the Conte di Cavour class were armed with 13 main battery guns placed in twin- and triple-gun turrets. The lead ship of the series participated in the capture of Corfu in 1923. Later, she was modernized and received a new propulsion unit as well as a new bow section grafted over the existing bow. During World War II, she took part in the battle of Punta Stilo. In 1940, during a British air raid on Taranto, she received a torpedo hit and sank.

Pros:

  • Second largest main battery broadside in tier/class with thirteen (13) guns, just behind Agincourt
  • SAP shells are excellent against lightly armored targets
  • Thick hull and deck armor, Cavour is very tough when properly angled
  • Good firing angles, can unmask all guns without showing too much broadside
  • Good turn radius and rudder shift for a battleship
  • Excellent concealment
  • Built-in -30% shell swap time

Cons:

  • Second smallest health pool among Tier 5 battleships
  • Slow main battery traverse speed
  • Poor accuracy
  • Main guns do not have access to HE shells
  • Weak AA defenses
