Player Opinion
Performance
Duca d'Aosta, named after Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, 2nd Duke of Aosta, is a Tier VI Italian cruiser which features a play style unique to any other ship in game. She features eight 6-inch (152mm) guns in four turrets in an AB-XY configuration, complimented by one triple-tube torpedo launcher both her port and starboard sides. Her guns feature high velocity and flat arcs — making leading enemy ships at range easy — but are hampered by sub-par performance from her armor piercing shells; most Duca d'Aosta captains will find themselves firing almost exclusively high explosive rounds.
Her torpedoes have a 12.0 km range, allowing for some interesting uses that most other cruisers (with their shorter-ranged fish) are not capable of. However, Duca d'Aosta has a very vulnerable citadel — similar to Russian cruisers at her tier — meaning that captains must play cautiously to avoid being punished for overextending or positional mistakes. She also has a large turning radius and poor acceleration, making her vulnerable if caught in a bad situation.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Preview: Duca d'Aosta from the NA Forums
Pros:
- Duca d'Aosta has a top speed of 36.5 knots making her the fastest cruiser at Tier VI.
- The ship can mount the , Defensive AA Fire Plantilla:Defensive AA Fire 1, and Spotting Aircraft consumables simultaneously.
- The torpedoes have an impressive 12.0 km range and reload speed of only 71 seconds.
- The main battery guns fire at a very high velocity.
- Decent AA with the right upgrades.
- Torpedoes do heavy damage.
Cons:
- Similar to other light cruisers, Duca d'Aosta’s armor will not withstand many hits from large caliber shells.
- The traverse speed of the main turrets is somewhat slow and will sometimes lose their aim during hard turns.
- The fire chance on the HE shells is low at 7%.
- Despite their range, the torpedoes are slow at only 51 knots.
- Her AP is not as effective as her contemporaries due to low armor penetration values on the shells themselves.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Duca d'Aosta are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 to ensure survivability and minimize down-time of her main batteries while under fire.
- Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1. Her anti-aircraft weapons are unreliable and her turret traverse speed is already good enough.
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1 as her rudder and propulsion systems are well-protected.
- Slot 5: Steering Gears Modification 2 because her rudder shift is somewhat poor for a Tier VI cruiser.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Duca d'Aosta comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
As with all cruisers, Duca d'Aosta has 8 slots for signal flags. Victor Lima (Plantilla:Victor Lima) and India X-Ray (Plantilla:India X-Ray) are highly recommended to boost fire chance, increasing the damage potential of the ship. Zulu Hotel (Plantilla:Zulu Hotel) is also highly recommended as it increases commander experience gains, which is already high due to the Duca d'Aosta being a premium ship, and the signal flag being relatively easy to obtain. Experience gains can be multiplied even further with the Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), Papa Papa (Plantilla:Papa Papa), and Dragon Flag (Plantilla:Dragon Flag) signal flags, which boost regular experience gains, Free experience gains, and commander experience gains, respectively. The Zulu (Plantilla:Zulu) signal flag may also be mounted to increase the credit income of the ship, which premium ships are good for. Sierra Mike (Plantilla:Sierra Mike) is recommended in order to make the already fast Duca d'Aosta even faster. Finally, you may choose to add the Juliet Charlie (Plantilla:Juliet Charlie) signal flag in order to prevent detonations to the ship.
