Armo1000 Alpha Tester 686 posts 650 battles Report post #5 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Do Italians test Ferraris on the bows and sterns of their ships or something? Edited March 7, 2017 by Armo1000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Historynerd Beta Tester 4,249 posts 848 battles Report post #6 Posted March 7, 2017 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #8 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) 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.

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #12 Posted March 7, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] ApesTogetherStronK [SCRUB] Players 1,074 posts Report post #15 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) 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. 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.) Edited March 7, 2017 by Reaper_JackGBR 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CR33D] orlathebeast Beta Tester 630 posts 9,067 battles Report post #17 Posted March 7, 2017 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.
