And WG have sat on the ship for so long that she's missed out on all the developments of the Italian line - the SAP, the smoke - and suffered from the Captain skills rework and its general nerf to gunboat DDs. I'm hoping that she plays like the DD sister of Genova in ludicrous torp build mode (and the ship would be better with access to Cruiser skills rather than DD ones, which says a great deal about that rework) - sadly WG has not seen fit to let her have Genova's torp reload, though. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[UWUWU] Kiagy Players 409 posts 9,949 battles Report post #11 Posted March 5, 2021 Don't like it for the simple fact T6 is thrown into T7 and T8 games way too often, guns are ok'ish but the 2x2 torps are meh It is totally outclassed just one tier up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,326 battles Report post #12 Posted March 5, 2021 It's a 1917 design. It has to compete with 1930s designs on T6. It's already outclassed at the tier it plays on. Typical lazy WG throwaway premium. No effort but endless greed. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[OCTO] Zen71_sniper [OCTO] Players 1,268 posts 36,636 battles Report post #17 Posted March 5, 2021 As a DD aficionado, I got it - it is cheap as well. Played 2 randoms and 2 ops. It comes with 200 XP for a month, so that is nice for grinding Sansonetti to 21 pt. Both randoms were a win, the second one 77K damage and 4 kills at the same tier. The weird part is that those torps do hit. They are "fire and forget" torps- similar to Asashio. I had 7 torp hits, all of them sent from about 8-12 km, more as area denial weapons. Guns - far from good. They hit reasonably well, but they are slow and inaccurate at anything but a BB further than 8km... Certainly not an OP ship, more of a curiosity - but that makes it interesting.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handles like a brick, slow, atrocious gun arcs, slow rof, 4 very slow torps, bad torp angles, 2 smokes without SI... Yeah... theres that. Rejoice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
