Gorizia - Italian Tier VII Premium Cruiser 1932

A heavy Zara-class cruiser. Ships of this class were designed to confront the weakly protected cruisers that were built after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. At the time of their entry into service, they had the best armor among ships of their type. The international displacement-limiting treaties, which were still in force during the ship's construction, were the reason why no torpedo weaponry was mounted on her.

One of the Zara-class heavy cruisers that was launched in December 1930 and named after the city of Gorizia, which was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy as an outcome of World War I.

 

Key Features

VII Gorizia is a Zara-class heavy cruiser and one of the most advanced ship of this type in the Italian Navy. She stands out for her armor protection, which is decent for her ship type. She also uses the Italian signature semi-armor piercing shells and enjoys the use of Hydroacoustic Search, which is quite an unusual consumable for Italian heavy cruisers.

• Eight 203 mm main guns placed in four twin-gun turrets. Her SAP and AP shells have good damage-dealing capabilities and high initial shell velocities.
• The standard firing range of her main battery guns can be extended through use of the Spotting Aircraft consumable.
• Her Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable recharges faster than the variant that is available to researchable Italian cruisers.
• The Hydroacoustic Search consumable will help you avoid unpleasant surprises when you activate your smokes.
• In contrast to most other Italian cruisers, Gorizia doesn't have any torpedo armament.
• She earns more Credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%.
