flag shipicon IX Ferrante Gonzaga: Italian Premium Light Cruiser 1943

A hypothetical design of a light cruiser armed with advanced artillery systems that were under development in Italy in the late 1930s. The 135 mm dual-purpose guns were also mounted on the Andrea Doria-class battleships and the Capitani Romani-class cruisers, while the 65 mm anti-aircraft guns remained as prototypes. The ship's hull and architecture are similar to those of the Duca degli Abruzzi-class cruisers.

Short Video:

 

Key Features:

  • Main Battery: Four triple 135mm turrets with HE and SAP shells. Despite the short firing range, these guns can deal significant damage.
  • Torpedoes: Long-range and powerful, but with only one triple launcher per side and a long reload time.
  • Concealment: Excellent for a cruiser, allowing for stealthy maneuvers.
  • Consumables: Equipped with an Exhaust Smoke Generator (with extra charges), Emergency Engine Power, and a Repair Party to compensate for her short main battery range, poor armor, and small hit point pool.

Gameplay:

Ferrante Gonzaga excels as an ambush predator:

  • Stealth and Surprise: Use her good concealment to get close to enemy ships and unleash high damage per minute.
  • Escape Tactics: After attacking, use the Exhaust Smoke Generator and Emergency Engine Power to quickly retreat and avoid counterattacks.
  • Consumable Management: Keep an eye on cooldowns and be cautious of enemy destroyers. If caught without consumables, Ferrante Gonzaga is vulnerable to being quickly sunk.
