Tier IV · Battleship · Italy
Rating B- (Below average within its tier and class · overall score 46) · Agile battleship
Agile battleship, suited to light-armor shredding. It is especially strong against battleships (SAP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 6 min on paper). 22.5 kn top speed and good turning, rudder shift give it excellent mobility. SAP deals heavy direct damage to destroyers, light cruisers and superstructures with no overpens, but it cannot start fires or damage armor thicker than its penetration. Shells spread widely, so fight at medium range or wait for broadsides.
