It also gets SAP secondaries with some of the best dispersion in the game, and the same torps as Venezia. It's kind of a sidegrade from Venezia, with the same consumable suite (full speed smoke, no hydro or radar), but has HE instead of SAP main battery shells. Napoli's almost the opposite of Yoshino, and favors closer engagements. So unless you really like that 'sit in the back and burn things' play style, it may not be the best choice. Of the t10 coal options, it's more one-dimensional than most. While it has the stealth to be a little closer to the battle and good AP performance to smack broadsiding targets, it really shines as a long range HE ship. Like other large cruisers, it has battleship fires and floods.

The citadel itself is shaped like Yamato's, with vulnerable cheeks that are fairly easy to hit. It also has respectable stealth for a ship of its size, but the armor is on the weaker side.

It has improved dispersion (relative to other large cruisers like Alaska and Stalingrad) and decently effective HE and AP shells as well as torpedoes (two quad launchers per side, with the choice of Zao's 12km or Shima's 20km torps). Primarily a long range HE platform, in many ways it's a Mega-Zao. Regardless, the style is too one dimensional to be fun sometimes, then again, if you enjoy kiting.why not?Ĭ/P'd from my reddit reply, for those that don't do social media: Yoshino also lacks the ability to push forcibly, a trait shared by Azuma as well, although Azuma's matchmaking makes it much more influential once you burn the capital ships down. Not to mention there are other ships with higher alpha. Yoshino can cooperate with Goliath while kiting in clan battle, although the lack of a speedy or specialised repair party makes any mistake possibly costly. To extend damage potential slot 6 requires the range mod to make it more effective at distance though. I've seen hilarious battles from my clanmmates in that ship. It's nonetheless a fun ship supposedly, and has its role in random battle too given some maps can be very beneficial to Napoli. Napoli's inability to rain fire from range makes it incompetent to a degree in a stalemate. The problem is closing in the distance, and it's usually a one-off. Napoli combined with Schlieffen can provide immense push potential given the amount of secondaries they rain.

They both have merits in clan battles and randoms
