[4TUM] Lulzes_EU Players 12 posts 21,812 battles Report post #1 Posted May 14, 2022 I know this ship was a free reward for most people (although I actually had to buy two extra crates to complete the collection FML) but it really is extremely under-powered for a tier 6. I play tier 6 a lot - mainly the Guepard, Hatsuhuru, Gnevny and recently the Aviere - and in no respect does the Leone compare to these ships. The torps are slow and few, the guns have awful arcs, slow turn rate and worst-in-class reload, she isn't fast and she isn't stealthy. She is also terrible for training IT DD captains as she shares few of their characteristics. To be honest I'd rather play in the tier 4 Turbine than in this ship in a competitive situation - Leone would even be bad at tier 4. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NORKS] Matt_FSR Players 166 posts 13,451 battles Report post #2 Posted May 14, 2022 I think the single-digit sales figures for her gave WG the idea of giving her away for free.

If you want a proper IT DD trainer, get the FR-25, or if you can get the RP's together the Paolo Yolo. Leone is, simply put, not very good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[P-A-R] _Lupastro_ Players 1,012 posts 13,896 battles Report post #6 Posted May 14, 2022 Leone is good, oh Jezuz forgive me for this blasphemy.. Only if played in division with another DD, with hydro if possibile, so he can uses his long smoke screen. Played solo is the best in one thing: be the worst horrible DD in game...

[VIBES] tocqueville8 Players 3,717 posts 39,413 battles Report post #7 Posted May 14, 2022 I dislike the fact they only gave her 2 smoke charges stock. It's not like she would've been OP otherwise. It's just...petty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[COOOP] Shirakami_Kon Players 2,624 posts 12,776 battles Report post #8 Posted May 14, 2022 Sadly it's not WG's style to give something above utter trash for absolutely free like that. The fact they do is actually a big red flag about the ship. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BONI] MoveZig Players 1,622 posts 20,823 battles Report post #9 Posted May 14, 2022 If Leone had faster torp reload (at least make it proportional to other launchers at the tier), an ASW airstrike and an extra smoke, it'd be decent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original had low muzzle velocity and a light projectile with high drag.... they were comedic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
