Zara — Italian Tier VII cruiser.

Under the 1928–1929 program, four cruisers of the new Zara class featuring a 150 mm armor belt were to be built to counter the French cruisers, which had 203 mm artillery. Lead ship Zara was laid down in 1929. Three years later, she entered service and became the flagship of the 1st Squadron. The cruiser led the cover of the Italian landing force in Durres. During World War II, she participated in the battle near Punta Stilo, where she was attacked by her own air force. In a battle near Cape Matapan, Zara was attacked by British forces and sunk by destroyer HMS Jervis.

Zara builds upon the strengths of her predecessor, while addressing some of the shortcomings of the Trento. Zara retains the 4x2 203mm main battery -- however with upgraded shells that are superior in terms of alpha damage and shell velocity. Although the citadel remains prominent, the upper belt armor has been made thicker, allowing for more effective kiting. The maximum concealment has been slightly improved and the hit point pool is now among the best in tier. Veteran players will be able to abuse the tightened turning circle to dodge long range fire. Overall, while the Zara remains a difficult ship for inexperienced players to master, long-time cruiser players will be rewarded for their mechanical skill and game knowledge.

Excellent alpha strike potential with upgraded 4x2 203mm SAP shells, highly effective against Destroyers and Cruisers.
Good range (16.12km) which can be further increased with spotter plane.
Versatile triple torpedo launchers per side with good firing angles and 12km range.
High base health pool of 37,100hp.
Exhaust Smoke Generator  and excellent turning circle allow for effective dodging and disengaging.
30mm upper belt can bounce ≤429mm AP rounds from battleships.

Poor vision control with a 12.19km fully upgraded detection.
Cannot effectively engaged nose-in targets with SAP or AP. Will lose DPM fights against HE-equipped cruisers.
Prominent citadel and 25mm deck armor scheme remain vulnerable to the majority of BBs in her matchmaking spread.
Lack of Hydroacoustic Search  makes solo hunting DDs challenging.
Lackluster AA-range cannot adequately deter carrier strikes.

Availability of researchable upgrades for Zara is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for better armor and anti-air defenses. Research of this module unlocks progression to Amalfi.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade for an extra 10% range on the main battery.

The recommended upgrades for Zara are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 or Spotting Aircraft Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 or Propulsion Modification 1

Like the Trento before her, Zara captains are not under a high amount of pressure when it comes to skill point distribution, due to the absence of HE shells and a limited number of consumables. The primary consideration is whether the player wishes to build the captain towards increased DD-hunting effectiveness [Vigilance + Radio Position Finding] or general purpose survivability [Survivability Expert, Preventative Maintenance, and/or Incoming Fire Alert].

Zara can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Exhaust Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Catapult Fighter  or Spotting Aircraft

Zara players should prioritize X-Ray Papa Unaone to boost the ship's strongest consumable; Sierra Mike and November Foxtrot will also be useful in every battle. Players who have faced detonation problems will want to consider mounting Juliet Charlie.
