Taranto
Tier III · Cruiser · Italy
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 4) · Balanced cruiser
Balanced cruiser. It is especially strong against cruisers and battleships (SAP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). 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. Its firepower trails other cruisers, so pick favorable angles and ranges over straight DPM races. A firepower equipment build improves reload 9→8.55 s, dispersion 186→169 m.
