This cruiser is a monster if played right. the crown jewel of the line is the Venezia. however the guns take longer to reload when compared to the 8 in" guns of other nations so you have to be careful as your DPM is the lowest of most cruisers. Amalfi gets 9 guns, Brindisi gets 12 and Venezia gets 15. starting from the amalfi, the guns are put in a much more useful configuration and you get more guns the higher up you go. from tier 8, Italian cruisers become good. they lack the speed and the armor but starting from tier 5, the Italians cruisers get access to exhaust smoke and tier 6 is where line becomes heavy cruisers. the lower tier ships are ok, could be better, could be worse. the best shell for dealing with pesky lightly armored targets like destroyers and light cruisers. the Italians bring their flavor of gimmick called Semi-armor piercing shells. The Italian cruisers are fast and can turn pretty well but they have a pretty meh rudder shift time. Having played the Italian cruiser line, i have to say that it's fun but challenging. I am becoming a cruiser main, seems like more varied and exciting game play for me. No ASW.Īgreed that cruisers are flimsy so maneuvering and hiding are vital. I find BBs up to T7 lovable, but painfully slow and annoyingly inaccurate. I just got a French T5 the Emile Bertin but haven't played her much. Just getting to T6 with the Germans, they seem tougher than the Americans, and have ASW, and I believe they have the best hydroacoustic search. Her aa is noticeably weaker than the Americans but decent. She seems tough and her fire is more direct than the high arcing shots of the Americans, and I actually managed to depth charge a sub to death. I recently got Budyonny and play her in ranked instead of the US ships because she has ASW and torps. Equipped with full aa captains and mods these ships hose planes out of the sky. Omaha is the zippiest, most maneuverable ship I have come across, and she can rain down HE about 1 shot per second. Fast, maneuverable open sea dancers, and with adrenaline rush and IFHE they become HE machine guns, especially Dallas. Still new and haven't completed any full lines but I love my US trio of Omaha, Dallas and Helena, my most winning ships (57% in randoms).
