Since the firing range is poor and the trajectory of fire is flat, you may hit the citadel of an enemy Cruiser from almost any distance. And since the amount of hit point in ship ends and superstructures is finite, SAP shells are very potent when firing at full Battleships at the start of the battle, and not so potent when firing at heavily damaged Battleships.Īs for gunning down enemy Cruisers, you may choose from SAP and AP shells. This means that SAP shells are the scourge for Destroyers and require aiming vulnerable parts when firing at Battleships. These are basically AP shells with better rebound angles (this parameter is similar to AP shells on USN Cruisers), short fuse time (this parameter is similar to AP shells on UK Light Cruisers) and increased damage compared to standard AP shells (with no surprise mechanics like fires in the case of HE shells).Īll the above means that SAP shells inflict massive damage to ship parts they are able to penetrate and these are all Destroyers, Cruisers (except for armor belt) and Battleships’ ends and superstructures. The main feature of linear Italian Cruisers is their Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP) shells that replace High-Explosives (HE). Italian Cruisers are not recommended for novice players unless you’re an Italian.Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP) shells instead of High-Explosives (HE) with zero chance of fire.Heavy Cruisers (main battery gage exceeding 8 inches / 203 mm) from tier VI with good penetration.Below are the main features of Italian Cruisers: The tech tree line of Italian Cruisers is all we have to explore in World of Warships to date.

Paolo Emilio was the predecessor of the Capitani Romani-class light cruisers. tier X Paolo Emilio: The project of a relatively large and a very high-speed 'armored reconnaissance ship' with a powerful main battery, developed by the Ansaldo company under Project UP 39.One of the ship's features was 8 main battery guns placed in 4 twin mounts. tier VI Leone: a very large destroyer in comparison with her contemporaries, officially classified as a 'light scout' for a long time.There are no Italian Destroyers in World of Warships to date, but the official wiki says that there’re two Italian Destroyers currently tested: Learn about linear and premium Italian Battleships, Cruisers and Destroyers (coming soon, I hope), their distinctive features, strengths, and weaknesses.
