@@kikoelektrikar4018 well, russian Is not the same thing, because It would be like asking an American to pronunce something in chinese 😂, It would be definetely more difficult than this because you have to consider similarities between alphabets too. As an italian, I could never even read russian🤣. By the way, I totally agree with you about the fact that It Is difficult to pronunce other languages with correct accent, It Is impossible if you do not know that language really well; however, since this Is a "prepared" video, It Is a promotional video, It Is not a streamed content, he could have looked for pronunciation even on Google translator, that's the point😉. Still, It Is not an accent problem, when I listen to a foreigner I don't care about accent because I can't pretend he should speak perfect italian, however I would expect him to use stress marks correctly positioned IF (this Is crucial) he had time to prepare, just like this video. Sometimes in italian (and other languages), a wrong stress mark Is really funny and we just can't avoid laughing (but not in the negative sense).

Italian DDs next and probably a CV line made with a signature WG move would complete the Regia Marina in🇮🇹 your game.

[@longonotamused6652]

A lot says that Italian bbs are underwhelming and that’s true, above all the SAPvsDDs issue (WHY 1/10?! Shouldn’t half damage enough? 1/10?! AND NO INCAPACITION? At least let the incapacitation be there!). But, I would say that they’re underwhelming related to other tech trees as Soviet and USA. That because ITA BBs are overspecialised ships in countering cruisers instead of being all-rounders as Soviet (incomprehensible as most modern Soviet ship where designed from italian counterparts) and USA. As this tech tree is proceeding (cruisers specialized against dds and bbs specialized against cruisers) we should expect ITA DDs being specialized in dealing with BBs (as Paolo Emilio is)

... the metric by WG: Modest = Poor Colombo dispersion is saved by its 16 guns

[@robinekhoodekful]

Yes, but the reload is incredibly long. 18.9 km range is extremely poor as well, forcing you to play really agressive - and when you have to turn away bc of focus you waste 5 min of battle after that getting back in. It’s such a stupid design. If you go range you get 38 s reload on 381 mm on tier X, which is underwhelming as hell. "Oh but but 16 shells" - Bourgogne gets 12 with 10 s shorter reload PLUS reload booster! The reload is too damn long, or the range is too poor - one of these disadvantages needs to go away... (Don’t forget piss poor concealment, which unlike Thunderer, doesn’t allow you to stay closer)

Interesting how they just didn’t add the tier III because there wasn’t a real one or they just couldn’t find a real one. Even though there was a design they could’ve used like the Cuniberti design 1909 that the Italians never got around to building. But hey nobody plays tier III anyways so it really doesn’t really matter. It’s just weird how they broke the battleship trend that starts at tier III. It’s pretty much wargaming just being lazy.

Historical battleship Vittorio Veneto represented the best of history Italian naval warfare of World War II, leaving Italian ports to attack British convoys, intercepting them from Gibraltar to Malta, with the aim of destroying and sinking British destroyers and battleships. Opposing a threat to British submarines HMS Urge, and the only Italian battleship that repelled several airstrikes without sustaining major damage. In the battle of Capo Teluda (1940), the VittorioVeneto, battleship with 381mm guns, attack The British convoy (operation "Collar"), which, when warned of the approach, prematurely reversed its course to return to Gibraltar.

Many people from Genoa used to work for other realms: the first French royal arsenals were built by Genoese, Potuguese and Castillians learnt how to build ships and sail thanks to them. It was a trend for Genoese explorers to explore new routes (already in 1294 the Vivaldi brothers tried to circumnavigate Africa), Colombo was just one of them. What they actually built was a network all around where they could use their expertises of sailing, transportation, commerce, finance. Colombo opened a route under the Spanish flag, but Genoa benefited economically as well, if not more, from this route.
