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.
