Player Opinion


Pros:

  • The only Italian battleship with 406mm guns, can overmatch 27mm armor with AP
  • Good main battery traverse speed and firing angles
  • Excellent AP penetration and shell velocity
  • Powerful SAP shells with amazing penetration angles, great at dealing devastating damage even on angled targets
  • Thickly armored midsection, with a 70mm upper belt and 55mm deck
  • Small and thin superstructure which is flanked by secondary barbettes with 80mm of armor
  • One of the faster Tier 9 battleships, with a standard top speed of 32 knots
  • Good rudder shift and turn radius for a Tier 9 battleship
  • Decent concealment when fully upgraded for it

Cons:

  • Small hitpoint pool, only 100 hitpoints higher than Jean Bart
  • Poor main battery reload speed
  • Despite having decent sigma and dispersion, accuracy at range is average at best
  • Second shortest main battery range in tier/class, only Lepanto is worse
  • Weak AA suite with average DPS and poor range
  • Lacks the Exhaust Smoke Generator Generates a smoke screen that allows the ship to remain undetected at full speed. consumable found on techtree Italian battleships
  • Incredibly vulnerable to citadel damage when showing broadside
