For those not in the know, they do not operate as "typical" scout and attack destroyers, but rather ambush predators to enemy DDs. I'm currently re-grinding the Italian destroyer line myself, as I sought to fully understand and exploit their unique role. Should the first level 4 skill be for concealment expert or Main Battery Expert? Are Spaghettis DDs really suppose to be an ambushers with the inaccurate guns and slow torpedoes? Or are you suppose to be johnny-on-the-spot with the SAP guns? Thoughts? I hardly see any discussion on Italian Destroyers and I'm finding them baffling to play with their high detectability, low range, inaccurate guns, low damage and slow torpedoes that take forever to reload, short engine boost and short smoke. The tier X might do 40k damage if your lucky. Only use your speed boost to help gank a DD or escape, never use it on a suicidal torp run unless the target is very low health as your torps do horrible damage. Use your short gun bloom to engage larger ships in short hit and run attacks if you need to, ducking out of your max gun range to go dark to conserve smoke uses. ![]() ![]() When you don't have a DD you can hunt, use your long range torps to hope and pray you might hit something and worry them with their ship rusting from the chipped paint. To do this you really are looking for DDs that are off on their own. ![]() Making your gun range longer just increases the risk that you will remain spotted by another enemy ship. Your going to want go in kill or severely damage a DD then use your short gun range to allow you to get concealed almost instantly after the enemy DD is dead or smoked up. Italian DDs are unfortunately pigeonholed fairly heavily as an anti-DD mugger. Concealment, screw gun range it actually penalizes you quite a bit.
