Ship:Giuseppe Verdi

18,000 doubloons

Giuseppe Verdi — Italy Premium Tier IX Battleship.

Several battleship projects were developed in Italy collaboratively with the U.S.S.R., including one with nine 406 mm guns in three turrets. If such a ship had been ordered, her construction would have been completed by 1940 or 1941. The battleship would have received Italian armament, developed on the basis of the existing 381 mm guns.

Pros

• Well-armored main deck and belt
• Secondaries fire SAP shells with improved penetration and ricochet angles
• Access to the Exhaust Smoke Generator consumable

Cons

• Main batteries use standard HE shells, not SAP shells
• Low health pool
• Poorly armoured citadel, very vulnerable when showing broadside
