Victoria - Spanish Tier IX Premium Battleship 1945

A swift battleship that shared the layout and features of the Italian Vittorio Veneto-class warships was considered for construction in Spain through discussions with the Italian government in 1939 and 1940; however, the escalation of World War II and condition of the Spanish economy hindered the implementation of these plans.

Key Features of Victoria

Victoria is armed with nine 381mm main battery guns which have long range but long reload time. She will also feature a new unique mechanic – "alternative shell types". At any point in the battle, Captains will be able to choose between two firing modes:

• Standard mode, in which her shells will deal high damage, with high fire chance for HE shells. In return, the shells will have quite poor ballistics, requiring extensive lead time for fast targets or targets at long range. Thus, the standard firing mode is best used either in short-ranged engagements or against slowly moving ships.
• Pressing F will give you an Alternative firing mode, in which her shells will have greatly improved ballistics, allowing for easier leading of fast ships or ships at range.  However, this firing mode will have reduced shell damage and reduced fire chance for HE shells compared to the Standard firing mode. Captains will want to use this mode primarily for long-range gunnery or for engaging fast targets.

It is important to note that despite the radical difference in the velocity of shells of the different firing modes, the AP penetration of both the standard and alternative shell is similar. This is due to the fact that the alternative shell is significantly lighter in order to achieve higher velocity.

Victoria additionally has excellent armor and good concealment for a battleship but will have low HP and weak AA defense in return.
Consumables are represented by a standard Repair Party and a choice between Fighter and Spotter in the same slot.

Gameplay

At the centre of her gameplay lies the new variation of "Alternative Firing Mode". Astute Captains will be able to switch between these modes as the situation demands, allowing Victoria to be effective in most combat situations. To make best use of this ship, aggressive Captains may use her good armor and concealment to engage targets at close range with the Standard Firing mode to deal maximum damage.

Victoria in-game Flag

Victoria, a Spanish carrack, etched her place in history as the pioneering ship that first successfully circumnavigated the globe. Two ships-of-the-line and a modern frigate in the Spanish Navy have proudly borne the name "Victoria," continuing the pioneer's legacy through time-tested naming traditions.
