I wonder if Conte di Cavour will have the 13 x 305 mm guns or 10 x 320 mm guns or both separated by hull A and hull B?

Lepanto = 12 x 380 mm?

Cavour will have 320 one, and Lepanto 12x 380mm  yes. 4 triple 15" turret

Thank you.

Always appreciate the help and info.

The ships of the new branch are most effective in combat at medium range. The main features of the Italian battleships:

• Like the Italian cruisers, instead of HE shells, the new ships are armed with SAP shells. They inflict high damage on weakly and moderately protected targets and ship parts, but do not cause fires.
• The "Exhaust smoke generator" is among the consumables of the Italian battleships, which will allow you to hide from the enemy without sacrificing speed.
• A large number of guns with a relatively short firing range and not very good accuracy.
• Secondary battery with good accuracy, but short range
• Decent concealment and average maneuverability, quickly turning turrets and rather good armor.

They have 381 mm SAP. Stop complaining.

WG themselves stated that Brindisi and Venezia are hypothetical upgrades of Amalfi - a CA design Italy did for Spain.

However, there are better designs for a BB line than a monstrous 16 gun ship that uses DD/CR-slayer shells. 

Ah yes, the old name is rising again, "World of Battleships".

 

What happened to "Littorio"? The name of the class is Littorio, not Vittorio Veneto. There are Kongou and ARP Kongou. Why couldn't the T8 be "Littorio"? That is the name ship of the class!

Caracciolo's turrets so are... uhm... taller than expected.

Possibly an old design (before WNT) that was too big and too powerful for its time, like Conq/Thund.

Either way is fine

From wiki:

"Vittorio Veneto and Littorio were laid down on the same date, so ambiguity exists in the naming of the class."

At the end, I could see through time.....

[Project45_Opytny]

Where is the T3 battleship? Cuniberti's purposal would work fine there.

Andrea Doria reminds me of... Aoba. Let's see how her will be improved over Giulio Casare.

The silhouette icon does not resemble Dante Aligheri by much.

Caracciolo is somewhat anticipated, however all the "smaller battleship" studies has been dropped. Maybe they will be added later as mid-tier premium ships?

[Reinhard_of_Avercland]

No T3?

Most of my suggestions are right (T6-8).

And why is the T10 named after that dummy who claimed to be the first to reach the American continent? He only landed in the Caribbean Islands on his expeditions.

Leonardo da Vinci is appropriate enough if WG won't make that exact ship eventually, which is a clone of GC/Cavour. Both FdG & GK are reusing names from the Kaiser-class & König-class BBs. So this name should be plausible.

What about Impero? The real Impero was never finished, but so was Montana/Lion/etc.

Emanuele Filiberto is.... that T6 premium cruiser, although that ship is often referred by his title.

I'm not trying to discard Colombus, but he is a bit too controversial for a certain group of people. Many of his statues are being removed from the public places now amid the current racial issues. I might have to peek to NA forum to see what the folks say.

Only the NA would boo at Colombus. I don't care. WG certainly don't. Check Reddit too 

(Too) many people say 'Impero' would be the name of a CV or something so I avoid that. Are you one of them? 'Impero' would THE replacement for 'Lepanto'.

But Re d'Italia tho. Mamma mia, why not-a use it tha?

I'm already bumped that the T10 French BB is whatever it is instead of "Charlemagne".

 

PS. They said no T3. 

PPS. The T4, Dante from DMC, is 100% not the real Alighieri. The real Alighieri has 4 funnels in pairs of 2 and they are near the superstructure, and her turrets are not superfiring pairs. This Dante from DMC, however, has 2 funnels and they are in the middle of the ship and her front turrets are superfiring. Looks like this T4 has 305 mm guns. Undiscernible turret laylout, most likely 4x2.

PPPS. Would Cavour have her 13-gun (2x2 3x3) 305 mm config? It'd better be.

That only works if the CV is really based on the real Impero (the Littorio/Vittorio Veneto-class conversion). What if WG comes up with some paper design instead?

I actually expected Littorio at T8, Vittorio Veneto would be the name for the UP41 at T9, and Impero at T10.

That's just the French being French. They hate monarchy, and at the same time they named the proposed cruiser design after the monarch figure.
