Italian DDs (Attilio Regolo Line)
- SAP slinging DDs with exhaust smoke to instantly disengage from fights. Also has emergency speed boost for short term dodging, but suffers from terrible base gun range and mediocre concealment range
- This build fixes the line’s short gun range while buffing her guns
- AFT is mandatory even for mid-tier DDs. Their base gun range restricts them too much, unless you only care about fighting DDs and literally nothing else
- If you're making a dedicated build for Tier 8 and below DDs, swap FB for SI due to the low amount of smoke and engine boost charges.
- Make sure to use the smoke flag if you have any to spare.
- Sansonetti is a very good captain for these DDs as it is easy to activate his talent that extends their short gun range. Ignore his improved skills because they don’t make your ship any better than the optimal build with a standard captain.
- If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
- Italian DDs have a very specific and arguably janky playstyle. Tier 8 and below are strong DD assassins, running in with engine boost, blasting DDs with SAP, and smoking away or driving outside of gun bloom range.
- Applies to Curtatone, Nazario Sauro, Turbine, Maestrale, Aviere, Luca Tarigo, Vittorio Cuniberti, Adriatico, Paolo Emilio and Attilio Regolo.
