New Ship: Conte Verde - Tier X Italian Battleship

Conte Verde - Tier X Italian Battleship

Based on a proposal by Italian engineer Ferdinando Cassone, this concept envisioned constructing the largest possible warship within Italy’s shipbuilding capabilities in order to offset the country’s relatively limited naval industrial capacity. Such a vessel might have been laid down before the Washington Naval Treaty came into force and later modernized. In this hypothetical reconstruction, the ship would have received a large battery of 203 mm guns along with significantly improved secondary and anti-aircraft armament, reflecting developments in naval warfare during the late 1930s and 1940s.

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.
