Francesco Caracciolo — Italian Tier VII battleship.

The 1913 fleet replenishment program provided for the construction of four high-speed battleships that were supposed to match the characteristics of British ships of the Queen Elizabeth class. Lead ship Francesco Caracciolo was laid down in 1914, but the construction was halted due to a lack of materials and a change in priorities.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Has access to Italian SAP.
  • Top speed of 29 knots, only bested by Gneisenau.
  • Great concealment for a tier VII battleship; only Poltava is better by a few meters.
  • Decent AA defense.
  • Superb turret traverse, only beaten by Scharnhorst.
  • Shells have fast flight times, making it easy to lead.
  • Good armor protection, almost equivalent to Sinop.
  • Great turret angles; combined with good armor allows to bounce enemy shells effectively.
  • One of the highest torpedo protection available for any battleship.

Cons:

  • Does not carry HE shells that other non-Italian battleships have.
  • Poor reload time of 33 seconds, equivalent to Sinop.
  • Like Sinop, showing side can often get you citadeled.
  • Low healthpool for a tier VII battleship.
  • Guns are not consistent in regards to landing salvos.
