Marco Polo
Tier IX · Battleship · Italy · Premium
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 56) · Agile battleship
Agile battleship. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 5 min on paper). Top speed of 30.6 kn is 1 kn above average, with good turning, rudder shift, acceleration. 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. Key skills: Precise Aiming System II ×2 (main battery accuracy +54%, 20 s); Rapid Reload II ×2 (main battery reload +43%, 20 s); Scout Plane I ×2 (main battery range +12%, 30 s). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.
