Napoli - Ship n°1 I regret buying in World of Warships Wows Blitz

[@deathfromabove432]

Hey I know it’s been recently buffed (that’s already telling you something about the performance of the ship for the average player), but don’t worry, the conclusions don’t change - In fact you’ll get another (buffed) Napoli vid soon, from another perspective.. stay tuned!

[@1969Irishdave]

Awesome as always DFA - however I think you are being a tad harsh. WOWS Blitz has a serious issue with auto secondaries being able to hit even a small continent if they are sailing right towards you or kiting away. "IF" WG decide to fix this then I think the Napoli may have a chance at being just below average instead of being garbage :). You have to bite the bullet in Napoli and try to engage their flank IMO.

[@deathfromabove432]

Hello Dave 👋 Many conditions for that thing to work indeed. The fact that it received a buff speaks for itself. But it’s not that bad - only inconsistent and it caused me to miss colbert in the next shipyard, still salty about it 😉

@@deathfromabove432 Well I just need to dust off the Colbert then and see lol. Cheers!

[@rickkyle5107]

Agree on the Napoli. Some games are a blast. Open up with the secondaries and tear things up. Most games though your running from BBs and struggling to kill light cruisers.

[@tubalooney]

Awww… I love the Napoli! It’s hugely entertaining when things go to plan… and your back port before you can “Esspresso per favore” but what a good looking ship :-)

[@deathfromabove432]

It is beautiful indeed! They sure know how to make good looking ships😉

Napoli - I got her from a crate and I bought the HC for her while she's fun to play, she does have a learning curve. A piece of advice from a cruiser captain: Play her like a pirate ship; she's fast and powerful enough to go against ships weaker/equal to her, but against any situation where she's overmatched she's at a disadvantage thus stay away. Like a corsair/ pirate ship learn how to pick your battles and to attack solo ships or ships that are badly damaged. Otherwise stay away from the main action and only push when the battle is in your favor or to break enemy charges.

[@deathfromabove432]

Hello 👋 yes, that’s my issue with it, very passive, borderline useless in center control maps or when cv. My fav pirate ship remains the scharnhorst 😉

Salut DFA, Alors ce bâteau, quand je l'ai vu dans le chantier naval en début d'année, je me suis dit : Hum hum, un nouveau tiers 10 premium que je vais pouvoir débloquer, trop cool. Les premières batailles ont été assez cool. Puis, j'ai eu un enchaînement de batailles non motivantes (porte avion, matchmaking original dirons nous...). Quand on peut s'approcher d'un destroyer, d'un croiseur, voir de certains cuirassés...le combo gros canons, secondaires, torpilles, fumée, est juste extraordinaire. Mais, effectivement, il faut la bonne occasion et le bon positionnement sur la carte. Le plus gros problème étant finalement, encore et toujours, les portes avions. Il fait partie des navires lourdement handicapés par ce type de batailles, ultra fréquentes en tiers 10. En croiseur lourd premium de tiers 10, j'en ai quelques uns, je pense que le plus fiable en bataille est le Puerto Rico. Au final, je suis, bizarrement, très content de l'avoir. Car même, si c'est compliqué par moment de le jouer, quand ça marche c'est super fun. Et pour la mission hebdomadaire de 300 coups de secondaires, j'ai plus de motivation à le sortir que le Kurfurst (en même temps les honneurs de batailles sont terminés) ou le Preussen (débloquer dans la caisse de l'euro de foot à 5000 or 😇 toujours 0 batailles depuis). Et puis bon, je suis un peu collectionneur sur les bords dans le jeu (il faudrait que je prenne le temps de calculer, j'ai du largement dépasser les 200 navires premium...du coup il y en a plein qui ont juste 10 batailles 😂 voir 0😮). Pour le Colbert, je partage...toujours pas débloqué... Bon week-end à toi et la famille.

[@deathfromabove432]

Merci! Oui, les cvs avec ce truc... Tu verras le prochain 'short'. Je crois que ça influence grandement mon jugement - quand je le vois en face c'est la première cible, c'est juste trop facile... Pour les secondaires, essaie le Schlieffen, ça déménage 😉 sinon les cvs allemands, tu peux faire les missions 'citadelle' et 'secondaires' en un coup 😎 A bientôt !

[@Choupiter02]

I really don't feel it is a bad ship at all. In many ways, he can face many situations. It can bow tank very well!

[@deathfromabove432]

Versatile is not what I would call it... Bow tank yes but at what cost? Starting with the worst DPM..

[@knockitdown20]

This ship is too tough to play .. big target for BBs and CVs. This ship badly needs a range buff.. The secondaries are nothing more than noisy fireworks lol..BADLY needs a shell velocity buff on the auto secondaries to hit anything.

[@deathfromabove432]

Big target for dds as well, without sonar or radar. Not easy indeed!

[@TheSoulfire73]

Napoli, the best and worst cruiser at the tier. It’s an absolute monster that shreds most everything if you can control the engagement. It’s not a ship for everyone that’s for sure.

[@deathfromabove432]

That’s my problem with it - consistency. When stars align it’s just brilliant… when..

[@tubalooney]

@@deathfromabove432 exact;y! I use it with my team mates then it shines :-)

[@mikaminskas]

I dont havr a lot of experience just about 10games. And my first 3 games were like in your vide9. About 50-60k average. Now it went above 70k, because i play it Yolopoli. I go very bravely folowing flanking dd and it quite often works. Dd detects a vitctim and i remove it.

[@deathfromabove432]

That's the playbook. Except when there is no DD to spot for you or no flank 😉

[@larsjakobsen8676]

Last week alireza set a new world record with 200k+ damage with Napoli

[@deathfromabove432]

Pretty sure you meant Alister, I know, well done to him!

[@MDV_Ocelot]

I'm sorry but were you looking for something in particular or to show a specific type of game? Why did you leave the right flank, leaving Naples alone against three ships? However, he wrote well, if the right situation arises it is an excellent ship, but you need decent teammates.❤

[@deathfromabove432]

Hello, yes the beginning of the battle proves the point.. our DD decides to take a day off and there was nothing to spot for me. With shimas in front and no sonar, might as well go back to port right away... As you said, if your team takes a day off, there's nothing you can do. Need a DD to spot, a CV/cruiser to flak, a BB to fall back to,... And an open map where teams don't camp. It does happen 🙂

Clearly you haven't paid for Le Terrible yet. :)

Haha 😂 one of the perks of a press account, I got to try it... I agree it's awful!
