As said above it's highly unlikely, especially since the most modern plane she carried, the Ro.43, isn't exactly suited for combat(it was just a scout plane).

There won't be pre-dreads ingame so i haven't considered them.

Most of the Soviet destroyers were developed by Italy btw.

Michigan has the same amount of guns on broadside and the shells are heavier with identical RoF, moreover Michigan is better protected which should translate in the ability to take more punishment. Overall i think the two can get along without any issue.

Brooklyn had a lower RoF(8 rpm against the 10 rpm of Cleveland). Cleveland was designed to have the same firepower of Brooklyn on broadside while having a more powerful secondary and AA armament. That's why Brooklyn should be a tier lower since she would be pretty much a Cleveland with worse characteristics. I know, i made a discussion some time ago in the CAT section(for obvious reasons i can't say much else). Regarding Cleveland vs Pensacola the older CA can still win but it's more challenging, besides most of it it's due to the fact Cleveland is nerfed. Give her the 10 rpm RoF and it's GG for Pensacola.

Currently UK is 5th in line for some reason.

Hopefully there will be a rebalancing regarding the US cruisers since it's badly needed. Regarding the JP ones a swap between Myoko and Mogami wouldn't be bad(since Myoko and Pensacola are pretty much contemporary).

They are still working on the missing models, be patient.

But CVs and DDs will roflstomp her since it's a torp magnet

It could be for April's Fools

There will be Essex when Midway gets implemented, unless the line got changed.

The Yorktown-class will be implemented ingame, not at the moment since there are still two line missing

At the moment the tier X slot is covered by H-41. If she's found UP H-42 will replace her. Both H-43 and H-44 are way too big and as such excluded.

At the moment the British are listed as 5th nation in line(after Russia and Germany).

It's likely but there will be a requisite to get her

Nobody knows since the line hasn't been announced, at least not yet(unlike the US battleship line)

Perhaps in the future but not anytime soon. Regarding Averof i guess all depends if Italy gets the original class(Pisa) or not.

True but there are plenty of BBs around while CVs are quite few at the moment, making such divisions even stronger(since it could happen like a 2 CV div vs a lonely CV). I think it's just a temporary solution however to avoid the two-man div like two Lexingtons and such(i saw that happening quite a few times) Besides as said above the combination of CVs can potentially be more powerful overall.

Because two CVs, especially at high tiers(ie Essexes aka Death Stars) can do a lot of damage due to coordinated attacks. Two carriers in a single division are more effective than two separate carriers.

Yeah the Littorio preliminaries would be really nice to have, especially since they aren't that known

Pensacola is a delicate lady which can punch a lot. I've made several games with 100k+ damage with her but you need to play safe. Stay around friendly BBs, let them tank the damage for you and you'll be golden. Regarding her being worse than Cleveland that's due to the fact that the predecessor, even though she's nerfed, is misplaced.

It makes any difference as maths says: 12x10=15x8=120 rounds per minute(considering broadside). if you're T-crossed Brooklyn is worse since it has 6x8= 48 rpms against 6x10=60 rpm.

The firepower of the two is identical since Cleveland had a higher RoF(10 rpm over the 8 rpm of Brooklyn). Excluding broadside in which the two are equal Cleveland is superior in every aspect.

Pensacola is good where she, it's just Cleveland in a spot in which she doesn't belong.

Eventually there will be a split in the line(with CLs and CA) so Cleveland should get moved up(tier VIII most likely).
