Michelangelo - New Dockyard T9 Italian Secondary Cruiser | World of Warships

The Michelangelo is the newest Premium Tier 9 Italian Cruiser. It has 8x 320mm guns. This video shows 2 games, played on Northern Lights and Warrior's Path, where I showcase myself with my thought process on what happens in the match, and give insight on what I think of the ship.
Price: 32 Dockyard Phases (30 Obtainable for Free, and 5 remaining will cost 6k doubloons with starter bundle)
I do play this match when I record the video, giving you live commentary and thoughts whilst playing the ship. This is actually a recorded video, and not taken from twitch. :D
I hope you enjoyed the video, and if did, leave a comment, like or sub. Also, if anyone would like to ask me question about the ship, you can join me on twitch/discord/youtube comments, and if anyone wants to know any of the builds I run for T8, T9 and T10 ships, they are available on discord, link below.

[@klmnts]

The main guns getting constantly broken and having terrible firing angles, might mean that a no-shooting challenge turn out decently.

[@hyuga9034]

I honestly want this thing just for the fact its a T9 Napoli and its layout is so cursed alone. Gun Angles are probably the biggest downside of it otherwise it looks really good :0 Also just noticed the turrets are both 360 which is also pretty nice actually

[@dangoodall1253]

Agree, 360 guns and good rear Torp angles make this interesting.

[@BSoDexe]

Imo, the worst thing is its speed

[@Riful]

You honestly made this ship look so fun. Haven't really looked forward to a ship in years.

[@vonik16zao10]

Now we can imagine this 152mm "secondary" as main guns for other ships but with 4 gun mount on the Future 😂😂😂

[@saiyajinog7424]

Looks fun, I‘ve been really enjoying myself with secondary cruisers like Schröder and so on, so this ship will be right at home for me ✌️Actually a very good change from WG to give cruisers a secondary cpt skill, got to admit it too when they‘re doing something good for a change😅

[@tehdoughnut9862]

7:51 main guns only overpen destroyers. Secondaries full pen though.

[@SumoKaktus]

Sauber!

[@admol73]

Problem is once the ship gets more recognition players will find out ways to counter it. . Won't be too many big damage games in it after a couple of months

[@le_potate3861]

How do I get actors like that?

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

Well... if you have hands, you can make any ship (nearly) look decent. 🤔 But for average potatoes like me... the main gun angles look like this ship frustrating to play. I've not missed a dockyard ship in long time, but I'm going to skip this one.

[@maxgern9186]

Yey

[@poprosturobert6874]

I'm thinking about buying this ship, it would be my first dockyard ship, is it fun to play? By the way, there is an error in the description. "32 Dockyard Phases (30 Obtainable for Free, and 5 remaining"?

[@dzello]

What's the error? He's saying Michelangelo is obtained with 32 Dockyard Phases, you can get 30 Dockyard Phases for free by playing and you can get 5 Dockyard Phases by paying 6 000 doubloons at the beginning, so you pay 6 000 doubloons to unlock 5 Dockyard Phases and unlock 27 of the 30 Dockyard Phases for free to get the ship.

[@tehdoughnut9862]

​@@dzellothe error is 30+5!=32. If it is 30 free phases plus 5 paid phases then there are 35 total phases.

[@dzello]

@@tehdoughnut9862 Are you illiterate? 30 free Dockyard Phases 5 paid Dockyard Phases 35 total Dockyard Phases At 32 Dockyard Phases, you get Michelangelo, so if you want it, you buy the 5 Dockyard Phases pack at the start for 6 000 doubloons, you grind the 30 free Dockyard Phases and you'll get it when you finished the 27th Dockyard Phase. No error.

[@silberlung3440]

"The shipbuilding process at the Dockyard consists of 32 phases; you can advance through 27 of them by completing Dockyard combat missions."

[@rollandchapin5308]

Gj Maltese your content was very good. Not my play style. But might get it anyways. really wondering if it can open water gunboat. If it can I would be beyond happy and buy., I'm close on the grind. Can u imagine gunning from a 15km range and then closing late mid game and late game. Might be very powerful in ranked. Real area dominating ship.

[@old_guard2431]

Waste of opportunity here: they should have done a Sistine Chapel camo. The cruiser touched by the Hand of God.

[@sirtogii5216]

Compared to Shroeder she at least have punch in the guns and torps to scare enemies off with. Although the armour against big shells...

[@sargisshirinyan207]

SEVEN PENS SIQSTIN KAY DAMAGE 😂

[@antlerman7644]

First game kinda got robbed, Napoli would of gotten amazing damage there. Seems to really struggle against any angling. Second game was really nice though, shame t9 is so often bottom tier, against super ships, otherwise looks like a very good ship.

[@obinator9065]

-would of- *would've

[@cristianmicu]

thank you, i can safely skip the grind and 6 k dubloons.. i just had some fun yesterday with takahashi 25 mm nose , no icebreaker against bots in asymmetric, so i got the gist

[@TiOBu4]

In your first battle you get 1.4k base xp which is great for a defeat and seeing potato quality got a 3.6 base xp make me thinking that this ship is not getting punishment for use its secondaries. For example I've been playing good battles with Iwami ifhe secondaries plus tanking dmg but having poor amount of base xp

[@asdsafasf3]

feels like pretty short asw range. unplayable

[@MalteseKnight]

ASW range is the same as other cruisers at tier, which is low yes.

[@badassforever1]

DO NOT GET THIS SHIP, Michelangelo is complete garbage. you will have maybe 1 good game out of a hundred. This is my current rating in this ship. 20% w/r / 350 pr / 51,125 avg damage. I'm at 67% player.

[@fabianaguilar3537]

Who would pay money for this trash? I’m sure I’ll see a billion of them on the first day of the event.
