the venezia i don't think existed, happy to be proven wrong. it's just ridiculously crippled (dispersion, no torps, and of course the high citadel). try playing BB VIII Roma and then play Kii or Odin - you'll see what i mean. I feel that nevertheless even if they do the italian tech tree, it will be crippled. also they could do the Aquila CV (wasn't completed by '43, but hey jean bart wasn't fully complete and that's in the game!!!)ītw the losses the italian fleet had were because of intercepted transmissions (also enigma when the germans were involved) the italians didn't have radar (primitive gufo system came later) and the RAN attacked at night with radar, the italians could only go out during the day - if they had the fuel for it - at night they HAD to return to port. there's so much potential for more fun battleships and cruisers. Jackboc, i would also like to see a full italian tech tree - from memory they had the 4th or 5th biggest fleet at the start of ww2. This led to delays in arriving at decisions and actions being avoided, even when the Italians had a clear advantage." Whereas Allied commanders at sea had a fair degree of autonomy and discretion to fight their vessels as circumstance allowed, Italian commanders were required to confer with their headquarters before committing their forces in an engagement that might result in their loss. "the assets they did have were handled with caution by Supermarina. "Numerically the Italian fleet was formidable, but there were a large number of older vessels, and the service suffered in general from insufficient time at sea for crew training."
When engaged, they could only range their guns if they were able to visually locate their targets." This meant that in night engagements or foul weather, the Italian ships were unable to detect the approach of their British adversaries. Though significant assets were available to challenge the Royal Navy for control of the Mediterranean, there had been a lack of emphasis on the incorporation of technological advances such as radar and sonar.
"Entering the war, the Regia Marina was operating under a number of limitations. Italy's navy did not play that big of a role in WW2 because of several reasons. Originally posted by jackboc:During WW2, the Italian navy managed to prevail during several conflicts and some of its ships were majestic and technologically advanced.
