![]() ![]() In a discussion about the unofficial mottos on the rangefinders, the one on Giulio was mentioned, and then Cavour's. That's when the modeling community helped me out. You can tell the phrase is longer, but illegible from this distance. That made me think, did Cavour have a different one? So I checked, and sure enough: It was the motto of the unit she was a part of. Now running it through a few translaters I came up with the translation: "Woe to the Helpless" or "Woe to the Powerless". But you can see the front of the rangefinder and the final word. ![]() It has a phrase on it, but I could only make out the first two words.Ī great shot of Giulio Cesare's B turret and bridge superstructure. You really gotta angle hard with it).So, as I was going over the pictures of Giulio Cesare this morning I came across this: Enough to qualify as a BB, but it's not great. She's flexible and good enough in all categories (except for armor. but she's just so much smoother than the other ships. She's not the fastest tier V, not the hardest-hitting, certainly not the best armored, doesn't have the best AA. she's actually scarily good in a brawl just because she's faster, handles better, and her turrets turn faster than so many ships you'd otherwise see. You can throw your rudder around and still have your guns on target, disengage where it's too dangerous, sneak up when you want to. The low range and lack of spotter actually forces you to get closer as well and support your friendly cruisers and DDs, which helps you perform better overall, as it forces you to not be so passive. She's just a deadlier ship because she's a BB that's great at avoiding damage and quickly responding to new threats. ![]() her major drawback is the lack of long-range AA (her mid-range is honestly not that bad for her tier) and the weak armor. On top of that she's got a modern layout with fast-traversing turrets (She ties with the third best BB turret traverses in the game, only beaten by Scharnhorst & Roma). Her combo of speed, handling and stealth help her a lot. Do you think that she's just the perfect blend of good-but-not-great stats, or is there some hidden factor that people didn't appreciate in the lead up to her release? The thing that still tickles me about that ship is that nothing on paper seems to suggest that she would perform so well, other than a solid concealment rating. Yeah, there's really no arguing with her performance. ![]()
