Giulio Cesare — Italian special premium Tier V battleship.
One of the three Conte di Cavour-class battleships was laid down in 1910. After World War I, Giulio Cesare underwent a complete modernization process. After her renovation, she served in World War II in the battle of Punta Stilo, in the hunt for Maltese convoys, and in patrol and escort operations. After the end of the war, she was handed over to the U.S.S.R. for reparations and received the name "Novorossiysk."

Player Opinion
Performance
Giulio Cesare is a tier V Italian Battleship. She features ten 320mm guns with decent dispersion and good sigma, giving her tight shell groupings. She also features a relatively high speed, only slower than Kongou, as well as decent AA and armor protection. Play wise, Giulio Cesare straddles the battleship and cruiser roles, being much faster than most of the BB's at tier, but far more durable than the notoriously easy-to-kill tier V cruisers, allowing her to utilize her speed to take on the cruiser role that the slower tier V battleships are unable to do. For anybody looking for a battlecruiser-like playstyle, Giulio Cesare is a fun ship.
Pros:
- The armor belt covers most of the hull and extends across the stern of the ship, offering extra protection.
- The ship's citadel is small and well armored, making it difficult to reliably hit.
- Second fastest Tier V battleship at 27 knots.
- Lowest detection range of the Tier V battleships at 13.3km.
- Quick turret traverse time for a battleship.
Cons:
- Lower amount of hit points than most Tier V battleships.
- Low torpedo damage reduction for her tier.
- Armor piercing shells may struggle to damage distant or angled targets.
- The rear turrets require the ship to expose a large portion of her side to fire.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Giulio Cesare are as follows:
Upgrade Slot 2 allows players to mount AA Guns Modification 2, which extends the firing range of anti-aircraft mounts to defend against attacking planes. Players may also choose to mount Secondary Battery Modification 2 to increase the firing range and accuracy of the secondary battery. Although this option is viable for players who enjoy brawling or wish to defend against a destroyer at close range, enemy aircraft will prove to be a more common threat.

Damage Control Party II or Repair Party II is recommended for players who find the ship easily set afire.
Camouflage
As a premium ship,
