Italian Battleships: Part 2

Steam post image

With Update 0.10.2, Italian battleships continue to shine bright in the dedicated event that takes center stage!

Features of the Ship Branch

  • Semi-armor-piercing shells instead of HE shells. These shells can deal significant damage to weakly and moderately protected targets and vulnerable ship parts, but do not cause fires.

  • A large number of guns with relatively short firing ranges and not the greatest accuracy.

  • Decent maneuverability and armor protection.

  • Tier VIII–X ships have access to the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable, which allows them to sneak away from enemies without having to reduce speed. However, shooting from within a smoke screen while retreating isn't recommended—battleships have high detectability when firing their main battery guns from within smoke.

Early Access

Italian battleships of Tiers IV–VI, as well as the Tier VIII and IX Italian battleships that hit the seas in Early Access with the release of Update 0.10.1, continue to be available in sequential and random bundles in the Armory.

In Update 0.10.2, Italian Tokens will only be obtainable from random bundles available for Doubloons in the Armory. Players can spend Italian Tokens until the end of Update 0.10.2. After Update 0.10.3 goes live, all Italian Tokens will be converted into Credits at the rate of 1: 2,250.

  • When Update 0.10.3 goes live, Italian Tier IV–X battleships will be available for all players to research.
