deBanfield Players 80 posts 3,420 battles Report post #1 Posted July 21, 2017 When I open up my Tech Tree, I cannot see any Italian flag nor any Italian ships. Someone wrote that he has the Duca D'Aosta cruiser. I have no idea how I can acquire such a ship. Is there the BB RM Roma coming, also? Note that the proper prefix for the Italian Navy of WWII or earlier is RM (Regia Marina), NOT RN (Royal Navy). RN is exclusive to the navy of Great Britain and has to be left with that nation. All English speakers are aware of this. Please, comply. The current prefix for the Italian Navy (after 1946) is MM (Marina Militare). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is likely to come around again, but i doubt it will be soon. I would imagine Roma will be along at some point, but how far along WG are with it remains to be seen. Its not expected in the next few patches that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RONIN] qkarl Players 52 posts Report post #4 Posted July 21, 2017 I have the Duke and are in serious difficulty with this ship: it's a Tier VI just by name. I think it should be revised .... I can not support the team: I do little damage. I bought it just after it was put on sale a few months ago. ABSOLUTELY MUST BE UPDATED! The RM Roma battle ship? We are waiting.....

creamgravy Players 2,780 posts 17,292 battles Report post #6 Posted July 21, 2017 Use speed to flank around and spit up enemy fire. Your hard to hit when steaming at 38 knots. Duca D'Aosta is one of the most fun ships in the game, can't wait for a full line. In the mean time you could play Italian designed or built ships like Tashkent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are waiting..... Duca d'Aosta really takes a 14 point captain to shine. The drag seems a bit much making the range and the terminal fall painful. However maybe the original shell using the 1000 m/s was much less aerodynamic? It is heavier than the German 150mm shell yet dives rapidly past 10km. boh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[95TH] Temujin27 Players 40 posts 9,457 battles Report post #9 Posted July 22, 2017 Needs good captain. But once have one its a blast. Use to close support your DD and kill enemy ones. Long range torps are "fire & forget" fun - use for area denial / blind fire. Keep moving, keep speed up. Don't "tank". I dont survive many battles, and don't top damage lists, but it is fun. Bit it a WOT cromwell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's true that RM is more common, but don't go around claiming exclusive ownership on the prefix. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
