One Take: Venezia 

the tier 8 doesn't have a heal, yes, but she's tied for 2nd fastest cruiser in-game at 37 knots base

@@karam6009 The speed and maneuverability saved me a lot of time anyways. I found I could still hold my own in matches if I kept moving.

Until tier 8, just assume that if you get detected=you are already dead

Yeah you have to be careful. The Italian cruisers turn wierd. They bite so hard on the start of the turn but the rudder can't keep up to change direction if you realistically go past half rudder. It's my favorite thing catching Italian cruisers stuck in a turn. Some of the easiest ships to pop in the game... though they're a pain in the ass to hit if yhe captain actually pays attention to incoming fire and maneuvers intelligently.

Omfg stop

Thanks for that chuckle

Love the Zao but honestly Venezia is better.

I wish resetting captains was cheaper, I would love to give this a try on mine. As you say no hydro is a big negative in the current meta, but at least the speed/maneuverability really helps it avoid torps. Plus with so many guns I tend to just blind fire smoke with decent luck.

@@Swarm509 I run double rudder mod too to evade the torps, although it costs detectability.

@@Swarm509 Do it! Bait the torps and the moment you see them smash the W at the DD and run him over tnx to that RPF!!! You will see that the Radar would feel useless :) Venezia is like a Ferrari, most DDs can't run from it ;)

I had zero interest in the line, hearing it they were terrible and seeing most blow up fast in game, but was getting bored with the game and decided to give them a go.... and wow glad I did! The entire line became my favorite cruisers with some of my best games. Just perfectly fit my maneuver playstyle with how agile they are, not much of a fan of sitting behind island spamming HE, and I could do work with it against DD's and other cruisers. Hell even the torps are pretty damn good, being so slow people forget they exist and you can get some cheeky hits/kills in. Or just throw them out as area denial. Not perfect ships, they have quite a few negatives, but great fun. I may even reset the line for Research Bureau points and do it all again. Had a lot of luck with them in ranked as well, and wish I could run my Venezia more often. With so many missions requiring HE/fires in the current dockyard I end up in my Hindenburg more often, although that ship is pretty damn fun too.

yes, it sits low and has quite insane turn rate

Ground.

@@EvoraGT430 *le sigh*

Maneuver tank is best tank if they miss or bunch a ton of shots. Feels good knowing a BB just wasted an entire 30 seconds!

Yeah it's aboot time he says it

@@aluminumati_147 aboot time ha ha

Man imagine a Venezia but with an alternative fire mode like Conde omg

I don't think you understand how superships work, but they take the tier 10 of a line and push it further so a tier 10 Italian supership cruiser would be an improved Venezia. Maybe a Venezia with bigger guns and/or a gimmick, but nothing like Napoli.

@@dzello for one, yamagiri isn't just a shima taken a step further, as it gets the fun button for it's guns. I don't think there can already be assumed a definite design philosophy for superships, as there just aren't that many in the game yet. Apart from that, napoli on crack seems pretty fun to me, and super venezia.. well, just scary as fuck mainly lol

@@symenbrug1992 Both of your points are wrong though? Yamagiri is an improved Shimakaze. It's literally the same ship with improved features all over: better guns, better torps, etc. It's super Shimakaze. There are tons of superships we know about currently, way more than enough to assume a definite design philosphy. Every single one is an improved version of the tier 10 tech tree ship before it. I'm not sure how you think Yamagiri isn't an improved Shimakaze when it's identical but better or how you think there isn't enough superships.. There's like 14?!

@@dzello I'm not saying yamagiri isn't a better shima, I am saying that it doesn't continue in the same vein, as it's gun performance is drastically improved, where the line before that really cant rely on it's guns at all. Yeah they have the alpha, but a yamagiri's burst can melt you fast, which is very much a-typical for the rest of the line.

TBH, you probably want DM or Petro first.

@@lucidnonsense942 I don't want Petro too op... And dm is des Moines right?

Get Schlieffen, it's basically a heavy cruiser with its armor.

Right now he's doing Tier 10 ships, so he'd be doing Yamato.

If you want to play her well, you need to stay at range. She's a sniper. Try to kite and target enemy broadside at the other side of the map. When there's less threats, you can push more.

Venezia with AP is probably the most reliable cruiser slammer in the entire game. 15 guns with 5k with good pen per shell, you get an insane amount of devstrikes on broadside cruisers with it.

Her AP damage is somewhat underwhelming, but with that amount of shell she can throws i can says it's very powerfull

The containers should be available for coal in the Armoury. You have to complete a collection and Sansonetti is the reward

Surely easier

I think it's called Running Lights
