Gameplay and Mechanics

Italian submarines are ambush-focused boats that stand out for relying more on their main guns than their peers. Their artillery, coupled with an improved Main Battery Reload Booster, can deliver devastating surfaced attacks.

Unique Features:

• Exhaust Smoke Generator: A first for submarines, allowing them to fire shells while staying undetected at full speed.
• Combat Instructions: Charged by successful gun hits. Once activated, these increase maximum speed and accelerate torpedo tube reloading.
• Stealthy Torpedoes: Located at both bow and stern tubes for flexible firing angles.
• Survivability: Tier VIII+ ships include the Repair Party consumable.

Note: While they feature faster dive capacity recharge, they have lower overall capacity, requiring precise timing.
