Napoli is the most fun i had in this game since commander rework

[leonport]

i just love this ship and its main gimmick which is its secondaries.

playing this ship reminds me of the fun i had in my georgia back before the "great secondary nerf" 

just seeing my secondary doing great work just like it did before commander rework feels so good

and all of this with very little investment compared to secondary bbs

also i have 2 sad things that this ship reminds me of:

 

one is the powercreep, like this ship without investing anything has better secondaries than ships who heavily invest into them

second is that THIS SHIP IS BASICALLY WHAT THE ITALIANS BBS COULD HAVE BEEN IF WG WANTED TO MAKE THEM ACTUALLY FUN

 

so far i really enjoy this ship, finally a ship that meant for players like me who love pushing brawling and secondaries

I find the ship fun but they have made the main guns so short ranged and lacking dpm that the ship feels like it's constantly up tiered, a bit like an Odin.

It's tanky though and fuel smoke combined with secondaries is fun but to get decent range 9+km you need to forgo the usual aiming module. So your guns will not be accurate.

 

It feels like a nice fun tier 9 cruiser, but at tier ten. Give bit more range on main guns and secondaries please WG.

 

Are you using range or reload? I just switched to range but i might go back.

I feel the same. Having a blast so far. It is way more durable than I expected.

[Hugh_Ruka]

same here mainly because I was watching Flamu today ... he pitted Napoli vs a Kleber bot with secondaries and then a Pensacola vs the same ... Pensa killed the Kleber faster ...

Given that I did not have any fun since the rework, "the most fun since" is not a difficult feat.

yeah i saw that and also saw napoli getting blasted from the front and his secondaries hitting the belt armour of a vanguard less than 1m away with only 440hp left lol.

Napoli can citadel even a Kremlin at those ranges.

I grabbed it (for coal, naturally) as there's no other coal ships which have been tempting me recently and Napoli looks to at least have something different about it.  Only tried it out in one (co-op) battle so far, but it felt really comfortable to play - and as @tyco mentioned, it certainly feels durable.

That thing is getting nerfed to the ground within 6 months, maybe even 3...

Also, to sell you the next unnerfed premium secondary ship a few months later.

Btw remember Siegfried?

[Prophecy82]

Something saturation something something cant finish off a DM with secondaries....

 

DM pretty much stopped taking DMG by secondaries after health went down to 3%.

Yeah siegfried says  WG

[kapnobathrac]

totally missed its in for coal so i just bought it. its okay, quite fun if you play more aggressive. just sniping and using secondaries now and then will lead to a boring play style just so you know

Would you say she is a strong TX Cruiser? She doesn't do anything particularly well. 

[Shagulon]

dont seem to get secondary kill medals with here though.

 

the secondaries rock...

 

3rd game -

She has Henry guns with even if with a shorter range and an emergency full speed turn smoke? Yeah she is strong

For someone who hasn't played the ship, you sure seem interested in it.  Do you offer guided tours or something?

Henri guns have much better dpm, accuracy and fire chance.

 

Probably not the best comparison.

She seems okay to me. I would not say she`s the best TX-cruiser; secondaries and armor scheme are quite good. Reload time of her main battery/stock gun range feels rather underwhelming (have played just a couple of Coop-games so far).

You're not wrong, but then that's not really a problem. If her main battery was really good then the ship would be batshit crazy. My experience so far has been that it's very much a ship thats a sum of all its weapons. In a good game you should have racked up some citadels with the main battery,  plenty of secondary damage and a few good torp strikes to round it off. Rely on one of these 3 too much and it will be a bit meh. Leverage all 3 and its 150k+ and Kraken territory.
