[DREAD] 1MajorKoenig Players 13,110 posts 7,885 battles Report post #3 Posted September 28, 2021 Well I like the actual / historical ships and start to like Cavour. Currently at Andrea Doria and at the beginning I disliked the play style but statt to like her now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #5 Posted September 28, 2021 I do not like their playstyle. They are too inaccurate for my taste and mess up too many salvos. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,326 battles Report post #6 Posted September 28, 2021 I strongly dislike the play style and how GW decided to balance the line. It's very underwhelming and uninspired. But that's what you get with a long reload on inaccurate guns. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[D_S_W] doerhoff_damian Players 1,486 posts 34,518 battles Report post #8 Posted September 28, 2021 I like the look and the playstyle (fast ships from Tier 6 with decent armor) The accuracy is not very good even in close Combat but if you get the Guns to behave or if WG changes the Accuracy these Ships can be very fun. Not the best Line at the Moment but it has a lot of Potential and playing them is not as painfull as trying to reposition with a Vermont 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #9 Posted September 28, 2021 I like the Premium ones. I don't like the silver ones. The silver ones combine all the worst features of the French and British battleships - guns which are unreliable, armour which won't keep out the same calibre of shell the ship fires - and adds a whole new level of wonkiness with SAP. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[XTREM] Miragetank90 Players 2,626 posts 18,702 battles Report post #10 Posted September 28, 2021 Yes, I like them very much. Strong especially at mid-range and below, and access to smoke from 8+ adds a whole other layer of survivability, almost a get out of jail free card - or a tool to use when pushing. What else... SAP is bonkers. They have very good armour schemes, fair but not the best concealment and Colombo has 360 degree turrets on the rear. I find them very enjoyable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my experience Pros: -Amazing concealment (11,7 km with conceal build). -45mm deck armor around the SS, which helps agaisnt pesky 152 HE (I think) -hilarious belt armor comparable to Vladivostok -Fantastic gun handling and shell flight -The ship itself is quite agile -good firing angles face on -Strong protection agaisnt metal fishes -Amazing pen -She looks absolutely beautiful Cons -Amazing pen. Get used to overpens or alternatively, practice shooting cruisers that give a bit of angle -HE shells are crap -Very weak AA with poor range -The shell spread at times will make you pinch your fingers together like Italians do -She tends to eat a lot of damage when trying to fire all three turrets while kiting away -No SAP or smoke like her sister ship Vittorio Veneto -Her secondary suite is worthless, even more so than her AA I like her. I hated playing her at first but if anything at all she is extremely comfortable and relaxing to play.

MimosA_A Players 266 posts 8,636 battles Report post #19 Posted September 28, 2021 I got the tier 7 from the early access missions or whatever kind of scheme they had at the time. It's not fun. The armour is alright, but it catches fire whenever someone fires HE and the guns are pretty much as reliable as getting a ship from supercontainers is. Apparently the tier 10 is alright, but I have no interest in going through god knows how many battles of pain to get there. I'm not much of a BB player to begin with, but I'm really not going to spend my time with the Italian shotguns. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #21 Posted September 28, 2021 Not really keen on BBs in general (they give you cooties - scientific fact), although I do play them in PvE quite a lot. I gave the T7 Italian a run-out in Narai the other week, and she was even worse than I remembered - ghastly thing to play! Struggles to hit the site of a barn from the inside, and you die of old age waiting for the thing to reload. Ghastly! It's a pity really: given the historical aspects, I was hoping - pre-release - that they wouldn't suck. Oh well, if you play WG titles it helps to get used to crushing disappointment I suppose... (Roma is more fun, even if she looks like a rugby team or similar got horribly drunk and left an enormous beer can on the roof...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it probably is. I only played like 3 battles in the thing and it seemed to catch fire very easily. Every time I play against them I also just seem to set them on fire over and over again. I never looked at the actual data. Whenever I play something firespamming, I always favour Italian BB's, cause in my (probably heavily experience biased) experience, they just seem to catch fire every other volley.

[SPURD] Itwastuesday Players 1,768 posts 13,581 battles Report post #25 Posted September 28, 2021 Caracciolo : It's okay for the tier Veneto : Worse Roma, but fine I suppose Lepanto : Worse Alsace, but okay tankiness at least Colombo : Worse Lepanto, worst TX battleship. Helpless against the various menaces of the tier with garbage AA, range, accuracy, reload, caliber... Worthless. On SAP : you get these hits where you go wow! SAP! It did something! And then realize that every other battleship, including yours, can do that and more with AP. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
