  • Italian Speculation

    11. 02. 2011 14:34

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.

LOL..OK first off half you guys who is posting about SN BB5 are wrong..I've played it for about 2 months and with 120 gunners it can easylyyyyyy. 1 shot any BB5. Crap I've 1 shotted L2 with it and am not talking crits. Don't know where you guys get your info from.

And Italian am gonna say Ships Everything like French apart from range and Firepower. Think it will have about SY range and hit power of about KM. And Strength around Monty.

And buster..SN don't say high range, Soyuz makes the range average. MN Low range. KM Average speed (gets slower at higher lvl). UK short range? it does but L2 changed it a bit. MN No way is the charlie Small.

KM high speed? What drugs are you taking? KM got the slowest bb5 and bb6 (which are most important + you spend most time in h44 which is slow). MN got lame range IMHO.

For me Italian bbs could be manouverable like AD, firepower between KM and IJN, OVERALL range could be somewhere between IJN and UK (I mean bb5 range, since L2 got nice range). As for sailors ... maybe +2 reload +2 AA. Reload might be good if the gunner sailor tree would be similar to km/sn/mn to buy an elite sailor 13/11 for ACC, so the gunner would be 13/13 on base stats

MY SPECULATION:

They will go bankrupted and will be kicked out of the eurozone

and now serious:

Imaging you are SDE and you want to make money. I can't think of a better way to implent a new nation. But it has to attract lots of ppl to make lots of money. They must make it worth to put money in it. They will make them better at start and nerf them later (READ let them be nerfed by our testers, as if they going to waste time on balance lmao). That's my speculation.

just liek the russians




ive read some thigns about them farely small BBs below avregae hitting power (not KM hitting power) and above average speed somethin like UK to US range and nice turning force

For BB's

I see Italy being the "DPS" and turning nation; Much like the Doria.

Average Range/Damage, +1 turning, best reload, low angle (thus weak against armour).

For CV's

Given the aircraft patch, I am unsure if there are enough variables to give it its own playstyle.

The game engine is only designed for 1 bomb per plane.

but imagine, 12 tbs dropping 24 tb. that would be fun



If 2 torps were dropped they would have only 60% max damage compared to other torps. Though 24 torps would be fun to dodge.

- Uhh, Sure.... Monty can one shot every single ship in the game, can even one-shot armored L2s. Even Armored QVs can be oneshot with a little luck, all 12 shells must land on deck for it to work however. USN: High Firepower, lower range, Average Speed, average maneuverability.

- UK: Short Range (Exception of L2), High Firepower, Slow Reload, Best Armor, Best Submergence, Best in general Supports, Average Maneuverability, Slow low tier ships, fast mid tier ships, Slower BB5 and Average BB6, No release distinct trait on speed for UK

-KM: High Range, Inconsistent Firepower, Above Average Armor, Average Maneuverability, Long Overheat, Fast Low Tier BBs, Slow High Tier BBs. Low Submergence

I suggest OP checks up on the national traits and maybe play some of the ships before commenting.
