Player Opinion
Performance
Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".
Pros:
- Has access to Italian SAP that is highly effective against ships at close range.
- Hard to hit superstructure and set it on fire due to its small size.
- Large amount of secondaries with reasonable accuracy for brawling.
- Great gun angles, combined with good armor, allows for bouncing enemy shells.
- Very good concealment for a battleship at tier IV.
- One of the fastest rudder shifts for a tier IV battleship.
- Built-in -30% shell swap time.
Cons:
- Does not carry HE shells that other non-Italian battleships have.
- While AA is the best of many ships, it will not deter plane squadrons quickly and stop them from attacking.
- Below average gun range at her tier.
- While she has plenty of secondaries, they are short ranged.
- Second longest reload at Tier IV, beaten by Gangut.
- Below average health pool for a Tier IV battleship.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Dante Alighieri are as follows:
- Slot 1: This slot is most commonly filled with Main Armaments Modification 1
, though Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1
is a popular pick for captains who go for a full secondary build with other upgrades and commander skills.
- Slot 2: There's really only one choice here for battleships - Damage Control System Modification 1
. This will reduce chances of fire and flood.
