13:35 smoke puff of the Sicilia should be much bigger than Columbo rather than smaller. Puff duration is also longer than Columbo than shorter.

SAP secondaries should've been the Italian BB mainstay if Napoli and the GV* are anything to go by. If that was done with the main battery being HE/AP like normal BB's they might actually be less frustrating to play. Like I want to love the Italian BB line, but the gun accuracy (Sigma) just makes it feel bad to play, not to mention feeling helpless against DD's due to lack of pen from secondaries and them only eating 10% of AP/SAP damage from the main guns. *Edit: I meant the Giuseppe Verdi.

Legends Lepanto and Colombo : look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power !

Great Vid PQ, but imo this ship showcases WGs worst tendencies.. instead of changing the existing Italian tech tree BB to reflect player feedback they instead make a copy pasta with all the needed upgrades. Only upside is at least they aren't selling it for actual money >.>. That being said, I'm sure they will do that in the future so stand by!

You might remember, but this isn't the first Italian BB with SAP secondaries. The Guiseppe Verdi (Marco Polo sister ship) also has the combo of AP/HE (406s) main guns and SAP secondaries. It works very well and it's a lot of fun, but somehow I always went back to the German secondary ships... Update: The secondaries DPM on a 100m² area are better than the secondaries from the Sicilia. So is the Sicilia worth the grind just to get an italian secondary BB? Your choice...

Food for thought. How about introducing two alternate hulls on the TT Italian BBs, one with HE guns and SAP secs, and one with HE secs, and SAP guns. People can choose what they want to equip and build around it.

On legends all the italian BBs get SAP secondaries and Lepanto is one of the best preforming BBs in game and Colombo is hella strong too

thx for sharing this video. i'm following your account since roughly the time when 10.0 / colombo came out. I really liked your colombo videos back then. This remindes me of them.

Been looking forward for this one!

i love it when he's actually enjoying himself, you can really hear it in his videos

Lets goooo! Just finished my 6x reset on the Harugumo line yesterday. 71k awaiting my ultimate dream Italian BB!

I was just looking at this ship a few hours ago, drooling and wondering when it could come out... Gimme!

Just heard about the haru RP farm. Important thing to say Is there is no need to purchase the ship with credits. Just research and move on untill you want to collect the RP.

Talking about Colombo, the other day I had a fun game where I went and demolished a flank with AP. Killed a CV, two battleships and a cruiser before dying to everyone else. We ended up winning

Can’t wait to grab this ship looks like a blast.

If and when I get enough I will be getting this ship. My sort of ship

So in game 2, when you pushed the Shima at the start did you know your Castilla would follow and hydro it or were you planning to proxy spot? :p It can be useful to pop your spotter when smoke is up to actually spot nearby ships rather than to extend range. Would have helped with that surprising Asashio in game 1 too. If you have a DD with poor AA it should be possible to bully them out of caps with smoke and secondary fire, assuming no radar.

this ship really plays along the theory that Colombo is scrapped design for USN ship

Adore my Colombo. Hoping the buff in 13.1 makes a difference.

Hey PQ - My Research Bureau strategy is this: 1. Reset Harugumo line. 2. Use Free XP to research up to Akizuki. 3. Grind Akizuki & Kitikazi. 4. Research Harugumo but don’t buy it. 5. Repeat…. I think I got up to 20x stacked on Harugumo, Minekaze, Hatsuharu, and Shiratsuyu. Not buying (and then selling at 50% loss) those four ships probably saved me about 15 million credits per reset so total savings of almost 300 million credits over time…. Note: Researching w/ Free XP the whole line is about 650k Free XP, it can drain fast!. Just Researching all but the Akizuki and Kitikazi (and grinding them) only costs about 420 Free XP…. My math may be a little off but this seems to be a good balance between Free XP & Credit drain. Added bonus is the Aki & Kiti are a blast to play…. Any thoughts?

22:50 and you literaly stealth caped B LUL So yeah, not even at the end and I am liking what I see... Yes, sadly premium, but finaly a good one. 31:04 the SigiFredo... KEKW

Main secondaries pen 36mm... feel like they missed an opportunity to have all secondaries pen 40mm to make it more effective against cruisers like the petro... after all this presents like a cruiser killer (Italy's version of Mecklenberg)... reload and accuracy on the secondaries appears very ordinary so it feels like they could have given it a bit more pen to compensate. This ship has plenty going for it, I am not anti it, just feels like if they added 1 more slight buff to it they could get a good take up if they sell it for dubs as an early access offer (buff secondaries -> either pen, range, accuracy or survivability, if they just buffed 1 they could make real money off this).

I hope they buff the Columbo as I've almost got it unlocked, hoping as accurate as my Montana 😉

Any recommendations on what tech tree dd should I research? I was thinking about the French tree cause they seem fun to play but dunno what the best tech tree is tbh

Seems like a fun ship

Watercooling, custom water stuff? Could it be that one of my more favourite wows content creators is also a watercooling nerd too haha

PQ is in love

I heard they're testing a unique upgrade for Columbo, any idea what it does?

Have fun aircooling a Intel 12-13th gen or Ryzen 9 7000 series under full load, you NEED a 360 AIO to keep that under control or you'll easly thermal throttle.

Wait, you get a multiplier for the research points? If you collect the points, does it stay? Is there a limit?

Air cooling man ,its simply the best value.

tanks pq

LET'S GOOOO

I always wanted a gimmicky up-graded up-tiered Veneto hull instead of the bigger ones they made. kinda like an Italian Bourgone.

This must be a new thing to pc? The Italian BB gimmick on console is the long range sap secondaries mixed with exhaust smoke

I grinded for my Standards for so long sooo many free XP and still cant really get the Ohio xD I thought about getting The Illinois, the more Cruiser style Gameplay suits me also more I think, because i play a lot Cruiser and Gunboat DD

Is it safe to assume we won't be getting any new coals ships in the future?

PQ, you need to take the plunge and give up Concealment Expert for Close Quarters Combat :D

With this ship coming out soon, is an updated RB tier list on the way? I'm one grind through away from getting enough for a second RB ship and was thinking Illinois for a unique playstyle, but I do love me some secondary ships!

Hope they buff Hizen's accuracy as well.

It`s just that Colombo and Sicilia are very straught battleships they hate taking things from the back. Same goes for Napoli, by the way. And Lauria double downs on this with citadel exposed through stern. This Shellcatchers are a big thing.

That thing turns better than a Halland....lol

Wonderful cammo! Must have taken them like 10 seconds to design

I think of using the Spannish Cruiser line for resetting. How much more FreeXP than the Harugumo line does this take?

looks like another brawling style bb that will be a damage pinata for the enemy team.

Colombopasta!

how do you get test ships, are you an ambassador for this game 😢

i hope they will buff the colombo its so pretty

I was ready to get slava for RP is this gonna be more worth it than slava?

@PQ is this your new cc account

Shame it does not get improved secondary dispersion but it already seems better than CC so...

The hitting dpm from the secondaries is between the Luisitania and the Bungo but without any firechance. It has weak armor and underwhelming guns and it's slow af. So it's nothing for me.

This is what the Italian BB line should have been. They could have kept the lower calibre IT secondaries but improved parameters

Just curious what is the PC specs?

i never played this game but i like watching your videos. i am play war thunder naval but its not complate yet.

Sicilia, you’re breaking my heart You’re shaking my confidence daily 🎵🎶 🎤 I’m sorry guys 😭😭, everytime I see this ship in the game, it makes me sing while shooting at it. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Wouldn't worry about gameplay, it was a test of how far the ship can go. It can't go *that* far. lol

Fun ship but I'll never get. I can only play a little in hospital..

when is this coming out

Dang, just spent all my rp for defence - guess time to use fxp.

WoWSL Italian tech tree BBs get SAP secondaries including the Legendary tier Colombo.

4:00?? whats resetting for??

Sicilia is just what people wanted Colombo to be Pre nerfed Colombo with stuff that actually would make sense

On world of warships legends all italian bb's have sap secondaries. I dont know why its banished to premiums in this game

That’s odd, Colombo on legends has sap secondaries.. and is also quite accurate with the main guns

Why would they randomly out American secondaries and not regalo guns like in the lauria?

Looks like fun but I think I will be going for the Ohio

7 of these ships existed

Guiseppe Verdi seriously need some love now :( what a sad battleship

Potato firing J-Roc quotes, know'm'sayin?

So... the good Guiseppi Verdi?

No ship had good armor when half the red team is shooting at you, lol

i have a prob very stupid question.. well.. do you get the full rewards out of battles, if you exit the battle after you die?

Just a notice here, the so called buff the colombo is getting is just a return of its original specs before they nerfed its sigma, rudder shift and firing angles for main turrets 3 and 4

Always a freaking DD or Sub with OP torps showing up at the most unfortunate times ruining all the fun.

Very unimpressed with this ship. The only time where the secondaries had any significant impact were against the suicidal Asashio. Secondaries have less DPM than Ohio and don't set fires to boot. Less effective DPM than the T9 Giuseppe Verdi in fact. Many salvoes of against angled ships and unfortunate broadside overpen salvoes that would have been much better with SAP. Not much point in removing the SAP of the AP is still hampered by sigma. Would have been much more interesting had they kept Colombo's reload but substantially increased sigma. As it stands Sicilia just looks like an uptiered take on the Verdi, which even has the long smoke gimmick to boot. I'm much more interested in Colombo itself once it gets the small buff to sigma and the massive rudder shift and firing angle buffs.

Sell the solution, Comrade. Give them Problem. We sell them Solutions. WG

It's so dumb that they kept Colombo on pc the way it is but took all the feedback to turn Colombo in legends unto the monster It is

Lol every island does not end in a cliff underwater Beaches exist

Day 3 of asking PQ to do a vid on Worcester/ Seattle. Great video as always! ❤

Who needs sevastopol eh

People say Columbo was balanced around Deadeye, but I don't agree. WG just made a bad line. If Columbo was really balanced around Deadeye there should have been a general BB accuracy nerf at the same time because it would be stupid to balance only ONE BB line around Deadeye and a ITA BB buff on Deadeye's removal. Rather, WG overestimated how useful SAP and Smoke were and balanced around that overestimation.

Aww crap DX i realized that agamerplays0 was me i tried to get cover from an island but i died im getting embarrassed in a vid

you know wargaming will nerf the harru research now...

15:48 - not your teams finest game either. Your two DDs and sub on the team basically suicided.

I don't feel like this ship should be RB, other than the secondary ( i understand that the smoke has a longer duration on this one, but the italian line also have the smoke) there is nothing super special on this one. Usually RB ships do have something that is reeeally unique to them for their class/nation, but sicilia don't feel like that. I would not mind as coal, but for RB? not really.

Giuseppi Verdi has basically identical secondaries and arguably better guns at a full tier lower at the cost of 20k HP. Giuseppi is stealthier, faster, and more maneuverable as well. Putting this ship out for Research Bureau points is heavily taking the piss out of this community.

Columbo if she would be good

1:03 what kind of buffs colombo will get?

honestly i love colombo. a very tanky bb that does consistent damage

So… now First place going to Sicilia and second place going to Ohio. Yes? Steel ships

ooo ffs i just spent all my RP!

Why does it get American aa and secondairies? Its soooo weird.. and 5inch mounts with 127mm guns??? What the hell is wg smoking to design that.

any reason why you keep insisting in using AP when SAP is devastating on this ship?

Wait... why on Earth does she have 127/38s?

please review submarine

I feel like this vid was rushed to the point that it's for entertainment purposes only.

"...and they very quickly took that skill away from the game." Yeah, because the playerbase whined and held its breath until it turned blue. Giving in to them was one of the worst mistakes WG ever made.

colombo but better, classic

Giuseppe Verdi is sad
