Tier X · Battleship · Italy
Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 67) · Stealthy battleship
An Italian battleship firing all sixteen 381 mm guns at once: salvo damage is 40% above average, and a citadel hit can deal up to 72,600 on paper. The 30.0 s reload is long and dispersion at 12 km is a wide ~406 m, but 3 charges of Scout Plane II let it extend its short 13.92 km range when needed. Fuel Smoke III and 11.16 km detectability make it easy to break line of sight and disengage when threatened. Despite several nerfs, it is regarded as a tech-tree tier X battleship that handles any situation well, and is also recommended for newcomers. Secondary DPM is 47% above average, so it doesn't get pushed around easily up close.
