Adriatico
Tier IX · Destroyer · Italy
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 57) · Gunboat destroyer
Gunboat destroyer, suited to DD hunting, light-armor shredding. It is especially strong against cruisers and battleships (SAP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 2 min on paper). 4 charges of Exhaust Fuel Smoke, short as each one is, let it break vision and escape whenever it gets caught. Its SAP main battery DPM of 42,665 is 22% above the same-tier destroyer average. Its 7.5 km range is short, so use islands and fight inside 6 km. Its weak detectability (6.9 km) drops to 6.07 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).

A large, well-armed ship that was in many respects similar to Soviet flotilla leader Tashkent that had been built in Italy. The ship could boast of having increased firepower that was achieved in part by moving to the use of 135 mm main battery guns.
