She is a Tier IV ship. Despite the same gun number and stronger armor, you managed to bring Gangut to Tier IV too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #7 Posted July 18, 2019 What is this line actually supposed to be good at? They got no means of dealing with DDs, given they lack hydro and anything to deal with angled DDs (as well as having little dpm). They are not going to deal well with BBs, given they have no means to deal with BBs that just angle besides 12 km meme torps and the Zara has not even that. They are arguably decent against dumb cruisers, but as soon as those cruisers angle, what is an Italian cruiser going to do while it gets burned down? And obviously, CVs will just murder these ships, because the base AA is basically the worst any line ever featured short of IJN DDs and they got no defAA. So, what are these ships good for? What fights am I supposed to win in these ships and not have to credit it to my enemy for being terrible at the game? But the models are nice. Maybe I'll keep some at least for port decoration...

It's a bit early to be jumping down WGs throat about these ships considering that SAP shells are a Work In Progress and that there are concepts for massive changes to IFHE and Cruiser armour being worked on - changes that will, if implemented as currently being tested, be a general nerf to CL fire chance. Any way, I think these ships look fantastic. The Condottieri class ships look just wonderful. Any chance of a Tier V Luigi Cadorna so that we've got the set? Give her a Speed Boost consumable to annoy Emile Bertin players and I'd be in..... Oh, and PS - Isn't Taranto originally a German Magdeburg class cruiser? If it is, any chance of an SMS Breslau, just for us naval history fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give her a Speed Boost consumable to annoy Emile Bertin players and I'd be in..... IFHE changes as they are in general are basically just catering to BBs. As is this line. Clearly that is what the game needed. sAP being even just proposed the way it is now is so obviously not going to work, it just highlights how balancing seems to always start from some insane notions. Sadly, often things end up in a bad spot. Even so though, other cruisers at least keep some viability against non-BBs (where the changes matter little, because BB are the sole class where fire damage and high armour pen matter a lot. Cruisers and DDs typically can still be penned and don't lose anywhere as much hp to fires in comparison to what they lose to direct pens. Italian CLs don't keep that. If noone points out the issues, the ships never get fixed. Lastly, looks alone don't make for good ships. I'm grinding ships also to play them and have fun, otherwise, I'd get model kits instead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm grinding lines specifically because at least some of the ships in them are pleasing to look at. Otherwise I'd never touch the soviet stuff (heavily influenced by italian and german designs).

You may get your wish. I hope so, although I think someone mentioned Bolzano. In any case, there are enough opportunities for "standard cruiser" versions of the Italian ships for those who find the tech tree too gimmicky. Give Luigi Cadorna (Tier V), the same standard shells as Duca D'Aosta (VI) and Abruzzi (VII), chuck in a Pola (VII) with the same ammo and you've got a whole set of mid-Tier ships they could sell, rather like Perth/Leander.
