Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm approaching enough coal to buy any of the coal ships, and none of them are seeming to be 'must haves'. Been thinking about Napoli, but I don't have a high point Italian captain yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogHammer Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Napoli is just a fun ship to play. Secondary build—absolutely! With all the new ships added to the game, it is one of a handful that still holds its own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has great handling for a Cruiser and hits relatively consistently with the main guns. The only "downside" I've noticed is that she doesn't have SAP for the main guns, but the secondaries are SAP which is super fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No SAP for the main guns, but is that really a handicap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I often find myself wishing I had HE shells for some reliable DOT, the Italian tech tree cruisers overall are OK. When it comes to battleships, however, I would agree that SAP is definitely a handicap considering what is sacrificed to get it (accuracy and reload).

With how fast you can change shells though I don't see an issue with using HE and AP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a 16% chance of starting a fire (Main-gun H.E.). If one can read the situation and anticipate the movements of opponent's ships, then selecting the right ammo for the job won't be a problem. Personally, I think the Napoli is a fun ship to play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes aside, if anyone has their Luigi specced differently than The Spreadsheet I'd like to know why and how you play your Napoli! Sansonetti is great. First time I used him on Venezia I think I got every special buff hes got. When I later bought Napoli for Coal I put a new captain on Napoli with this build: I will add "Adrenaline Rush" and probably "Consumable Enhancements" when I get more points. My reasoning to keep Sansonetti on Venezia is that I like Venezia even more, especially with the latest buff to ASW etc. And Venezia SAP SMACKS DDs and Subs. But this build has resulted in some hilarious "YOLO/Leroy Jenkins" games in Napoli. Just pushing in like a Viking, stealing Caps, contesting caps, and having rainbows of SAP secondaries in the air. 2 Solo Caps for the Win! "Chuu .... Chuu ...... Here comes the Smoke Train Maddah Trucker.....! ! ! !😄 Edited March 5 by OldSchoolGaming_Youtube 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchoolGaming_Youtube Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Napoli Div's usually come up when me and my Neighbor countryman "The Fin", fellow Viking and I have downed enough Whiskey late in the Friday evening to just say "Fugg It! Let's pillage and **** some English islands ...... or caps ......on this strange map....!" To VALHALLA! ! ! ! ! ! Never Napoli sober.........

Colonel Potter Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Definitely a full secondary build for the Napoli, especially now that the secondary ranges were buffed on it. Personally, I think Luigi Sansonetti is wasted in the Napoli. He works much better in the Venezia, which I have him in. I just have a regular commander in my Napoli with the secondary skills. I rarely get 100 main battery hits in the Napoli to ever activate the Concealed Reserves talent on Luigi Sansonetti, but it gets activated almost every game with the Venezia. The secondary skills would be wasted in the Venezia if you wanted to switch him back and forth between the Napoli. So I think it would be best not to use him in the Napoli. That said, my favorite thing about the Napoli's secondaries other than them being SAP is the high arc you get with them. You can quite often hit ships hiding behind islands you cannot hit with your main guns. Edited March 5 by Colonel Potter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, my favorite thing about the Napoli's secondaries other than them being SAP is the high arc you get with them. You can quite often hit ships hiding behind islands you cannot hit with your main guns. This is exactly my reasoning as well. Full Secondary build on Napoli with other regular captain because switching Sansonetti between the two would nerf one of them so doesn't work that well. Sansonetti is amazing in Venezia, usually trigger 2-3 Legendary buffs each game with him in Venezia. This is my build for them both. Napoli: with this build I get 44 sec smoke train (will soon buff that with Cons Enhancement) and 11 km secondaries with SAP. Venezia: with this build, 58 sec smoke train (enouch to steal a cap), 7 spotter plane with short cooldown for longer range SAP farming, 12,4 km Conceal. Its really not hard to get all 3 buffs activated on Venezia with this build, just as I showed in the video above. Also incoming fire alert and the trolly Italian armor on V makes it hard for BBs to get good hits in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
