  • Italian Speculation

Italy had an interesting selection of real-life battleships. Would anyone like to join me in speculating what the Italian Navy will be like when released?

 

So far in Navyfield we have:

 

US- average / rounded battleships.

UK- Short range, high firepower, high protection (AW, supports), average manoeuvrability and speed.

KM- High range, low firepower, average protection, average manoeuvrability, high speed.

Japan – Average range, good firepower, (difficult to define style as few battleships)

France - Average range, good firepower, high speed, small battleships

Soviet – High range, high firepower, poor protection, low manoeuvrability, low speed.

 

I would like to speculate Italy what Italy might be like. With consideration of what we have already, the Italian Navy will (hopefully) offer a new play style. In the interests of balance I would like to speculate as follows:

 

Compact size battleships with tight turning / high manoeuvrability like the Andrea Doria (one assumes this must be the PBB?). It would be a nice contrast to the ship trees already in the game. We don’t have a nation with an emphasis on manoeuvrability as opposed to physical strength or armour protection. Maybe high rate of fire / lower firepower / lower range (again like the Andrea Doria?)

 

Please add your ideas / opinions / and ideas for CV and sub styles.

 

Looking forward to more details of this nation when its developed, any ideas when?

 

One thing for certain: good-looking ships with great paintjobs.

UK = good firepower

So then what do you think or suggest the Italian ship play style will be, or should be?

I'd like...

Average/slightly above average AA, low firepower, low angle, very tight spread/blockshot, fastest reload, low penetration, above average speed, highest turning force, slightly above average range. AWable.

I echo this, and the only ships below BB6 that can one shot are the Monty and Alsace. I'm not sure about the SN one, so average for US is a bad assessment I would rank US as one of the top nations in the game.


L2 can one shot, Quite Sure sovietsky can one shot, SY can one shot. Little lost where you've got your information.

BBs: High displacement (i.e. big hit box)/ weak armor, average firepower, good maneuverability, average range, good speed, weak supports

CVs: (Historically, like Germans, the Italians started but never finished building a carrier), high displacement/ average speed, few CVs, average fighters, poor bombers.

you are very wrong my friend. L2, soveitsky soyuz, SY can never ever one shoot another BB5 unless no armor at all even then iam not sure if the can do it.

but so far in normal rooms those BB5's never been able to one shoot another BB5, only Alsace and monty can one shoot other BB5's and only monty can sometimes one shoot BB6's as well ( i have done it in my monty).

i bet the Italian navy will be sexy looking :D

For BB's: slightly above KM firepower, high manoeuvrability, good AA, below average supports, average speed, rather small sized battleships, does not have a wide variety of BBs (i bet only 1 line for BBs and CVs) but maybe iam wrong.

For CVs: i have no idea and i couldn't care less as iam a BB player.

For SSs: i hate them so much i hope SDE remove them from this game :D

If they try to make the Italian ships resemble their historical counterparts even slightly, these will be beautiful, fast, and completely useless. Oh, and the CVs with their Bredas, and Macchis and SIAIs, and FIATs... they'll fall just short of awesome.
