New Ship: Conte Verde - Tier X Italian Battleship 1940

Conte Verde - Tier X Italian Battleship 1940

A battleship armed with sixteen 203 mm main guns. Such a ship could have been built to take advantage of a large incomplete hull that could not be finished to its intended design due to naval treaties placing limits on main gun caliber. The Italian 203 mm gun was a very potent weapon for its time. The hull could have been refitted in the late 1930s with improved anti-aircraft and secondary batteries.

Key Features and Battle Tips

Key Features

• Main Battery: 16x 203mm guns with SAP shells, high accuracy, and fast reload.
• Ballistics: Good shell velocity but limited base firing range.
• Mobility: High maximum speed, though maneuverability is below average.
• Survivability: Low armor with vulnerable extremities; less durable than typical same-tier battleships.

Battle Tips

• Target Selection: Focus on destroyers and lightly armored ships to maximize SAP damage. Target unsaturated hull sections for consistent hits.
• Positioning: Avoid standard battleship tanking. Use high speed to find early-game positions that mitigate your low durability.
• Range Management: Utilize the Spotting Aircraft to compensate for short range, or use your speed to close the distance and disengage quickly.
• Playstyle: Treat the ship as a battleship-cruiser hybrid; play like a scaled-up version of the Tier X Battleship Irresistible with an Italian focus on burst SAP damage.
