Tier IX premium Italian battleship ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' retains many of the tech tree battleship characteristics &mdash; powerful [[Ship:Ammo#SAP_shells|Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP)]] main battery shells, poor reload and range, and decent armor and concealment. While having differences of her own, she will feel familiar to players experienced with the playstyle of Italian battleships.
===Cons===

<h4>Hull</h4>
As with tech tree Italian battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s armor scheme is solid overall. She features a 320 mm main belt, with a 70 mm upper belt and 55 mm deck. She resists destroyer and cruiser-caliber HE quite well, and when angled properly, is decently protected against AP shells from battleships. However, her HP pool is among the lowest of Tier IX battleships. Her citadel is extremely vulnerable, protected by a 25 mm turtleback that is easily overmatched by most battleship-caliber guns in her tier spread. In addition, she lacks the {{Exhaust Smoke Generator}} found on tech tree Italian battleships, and her torpedo protection is poor. Captains should be more careful in choosing their engagements and movements.


In addition to her armor, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s speed is superb, clocking in at 32 knots. Her rudder shift and turning circle are also respectable, at 16.7 seconds and 860 meters respectively. Her concealment, on the other hand, is decidedly average for Tier IX, only reaching 13.2 km when fully specced.

<h4>Armament</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Unlike the tech tree Italian battleships, which cap out at 381 mm guns, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has nine 406 mm guns in a typical three-by-three arrangement. This gives her multiple boosts in terms of damage dealing capability. Her SAP shells boast a 1600 damage advantage over Italian 381 mm SAP. Coupled with their high penetration and improved ricochet angles, they will be the primary ammo of choice against most targets. Her AP is phenomenal as well, with some of the highest penetration at Tier IX. It can also overmatch 27 mm plating instead of just 26 mm, which includes the bow and stern of most cruisers in the game. As such, captains should opt to take <u>Gun Feeder</u> in order to exploit both ammunition types. Her ballistics are also outstanding, leading to comfortable aiming. Her firepower is not without flaws, however. Her reload is a painful 36 seconds base, which can be brought down to ~32 seconds with {{Main Battery Modification 3}}. Her range is capped at 19.02km, though compensated by the presence of {{Spotting Aircraft}}, and her accuracy, while better than tech tree Italian battleships, is still inconsistent, and captains should expect well-aimed salvos to miss on occasion. Captains should also take into account the SAP’s 10% capped damage against destroyers, and her lack of the built in -30% shell swapping time that the tech tree line has.

As with tech tree Italian battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s secondaries and AA are underwhelming. Her secondary battery is mostly 90 mm guns, meaning their penetration is abysmal. Her 4.6 km AA range is the shortest of all Tier IX battleships, and with its poor combined damage she should stick to allied ships to thwart aviation threats.

<h4>Gameplay</h4>
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Like the tech tree battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' excels at mid range fighting. Her armor and firing angles allow her to play comfortably in this range, while reducing the impact of her poor gun range and mediocre accuracy. As she lacks the {{Exhaust Smoke Generator}}, disengaging is riskier than the researchable Italian battleships. With her vulnerable citadel, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should not actively seek brawls, as enemies can easily deal large amounts of citadel damage when she’s exposing her broadside.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | CONCEALMENT !! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" |
|-
| style="color:inherit;" | • Detectability by sea (km) || style="color:inherit;" | 16.3

| style="color:inherit;" | • Detectability by air (km) || style="color:inherit;" | 10.0

|-
| style="color:inherit;" | • Detectability by depths (km) || style="color:inherit;" | 10.0
|}
</div>


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is simplistic in her playstyle. Her SAP shells can deal heavy damage with each salvo, even if only a few shells hit. While her accuracy and concealment are not outstanding, she will feel comfortable to those who have already experienced the Italian battleship playstyle.

Marco Polo — Italy Premium Tier IX Battleship.

As part of the cooperation between Italy and the U.S.S.R., a project was created for a ship with nine 406 mm main guns placed in three turrets. This project was never implemented. If such a ship had been built in Italy, she would have had 406 mm main battery guns developed on the basis of 381 mm guns, and she would have been ready by 1940 or 1941.
