I'll brace myself to go whack the designers on the head.

 

Those stripes go ONLY on the bow! :angry:

Do Italians test Ferraris on the bows and sterns of their ships or something?

These were recognition patterns, implemented after the Battle of Punta Stilo (where Italian bombers, after the battle, bombed by mistake the Italian ships as well, although with no damage done).

 

However, these should be only on the bow. Some foreign guy drew a ship with those on the aft as well, and it seems the bloody thing stuck. :facepalm:

Tier VI I suppose?

 

Also, I see wingmounted triple torpedo launchers there, though the quick Wikipedia page said nothing about torpedo armament on that class in its article, neither for the ship itself or its class of ships.

She's a beauty, like all Italian ships (and girls) seem to be. She looks quite similar to the British Leander class.

Such a shame it's tier VI. Given the current MM situation I have very, very little inclination on purchasing any premium ships in the tiers V and VI.

 

Nevermind that I vowed to myself to be conservative with my wallet in the first place pending a reduction of WG shenanigans. This ship would have to perform quite well to overcome those preset negatives.

Even faster then Molotov. But Tier 6... no thanks with the current MM. :sceptic:

You can almost see that the Soviet cruisers are reproduced Italian ones from this. Look at those dual Kirov guns, the slender, Budyonny like shape. :D 

Joking aside, nice to finally see a representative of the Regia Marina at last. 

Now we just need Dutch, Swedish, Greek, Turkish, Spanish and South American premiums to round out the smaller nations. (Though I would still prefer a minor nations tree. Really want a Tre Kronor though.)

THE ONLY PROBLEM will be the MM :(... o well, i'm supposed to be good at this game so...

 

intersting will be to see if this ship will have something unique like, i don't know, speedbost or radar or something else, something able to make the ship different from the counterparts.

Well, this could actually get me playing the game again.

 

BTW, she's missing the prominent motto which was written on turret B sides.

Ehhh, seems like a [edited] ship to be honest.

 

By what I see there are not many signs she can compete with budyonniy or Cleveland.

Does she get wider and wear black as you move up the tiers?

Bloody well hope not. I married an Italian girl and will be mortified should this happen.
