WG: Thank you ichase, your wish for this ship in the next year's shortlist is granted.

I will summarize for you what happened to it in these 3 yrs: Ivan : Playerbase and CC are saying Leone is bad. WG : It's balanced. Just lock it in a vault and release it when people forget about it.

tbh I forgot this ship existed

I kinda wish WG kept the old meme ballistics on this ship as its main downside (when the ship was first tested, those shells took nearly 17 seconds to travel at max range of 12.5 km). Then they could buff its reload to like 5 seconds and make an interesting low-tier rainbow maker. Something like a tier VI Akizuki. Not to mention, with AFT her travel time would be a beautiful meme.

Good to see you back, Chase! Hope school is going well for you.

This DD seems particularly uninspired. I was at least expecting a mini-Paulo for some reason. Fast ship, very fast short range torps and SAP. Just seems a generic platform with anemic damage output. This ship needs some tweaking to graduate it from qualification to capability.

WG proving yet again that they just don't give a ****.

Another nail in the coffin with how WG's been treating the RM

2019-2021 of a dev cycle for this ship. What was the point of making this ship? If WG made a survey for every ship they released, is there a option below extremely disappointing XD

It was probably just burning a hole in WG's devteam's pocket that they wanted to get the fuck out

glad to have you back for a bit chase

By the way, this ship was in development for 2+ years, but I do not remember many changes along that time. So it was literally shelved and WG was like: Oh right, we were supposed to release that a while ago... Should we add some tweaks to it? Maybe change it to fit other Italian DD? N'aaah... Let's make it generic as hell... Surely, people want some bland spaghetti without any spice that Paolo has.

Me just received the Leone in a Santa crate: "Okay, let see a tutorial video Video's title: "The next Santa Crates" You were so damn right dude !

you have to see the future, this is the kind of ship they add in the game for give you in the loot boxes yes or yes

About darn time she came out but they had a chance to release her with the actual launch of Italy with the Italian Cruisers but nope, she's this and we're stuck in a pandemic

I haven't spent money on WoWs since the Payto Rico-debacle.... so I think I'm safe :-)

11:34 Subtle detail here: Really like how you turned your camera in disbelief when you realized your Roma was shooting HE at the grounded, broadside Myoko.

Welcome back ichase. This game in current form is fun in small casual doses. Plenty of other good , chill games out there 2 play and have fun 🤩 Hope school is going well for u my dude

Looking forward to next Christmas

I'm so glad of some of the new commander skills features at least. It means I dont need a premium ship for every line now. I can just use my Duca and guilio caesar now.

T-T and here I was hoping for a mini t6 yolo emilio.... now that would be fun

iChase: Oh and you need friends Me: *sad noises*

they'll put her into the next italian crates, i guess a lot of people will get her before getting Marco Polo...

Well... I'm Italian so I whaled it, just to fill the collection. Didn't expect too much from a T6, but I have to admit that in 4 battles I had a surprisingly 75% WR. Not a game changer surely, but it has good alpha dmg, long long smoke and very long range torps w. fast reload. Outstanding how many T6 BB's want to eat lonely torps wandering the map... :-)

Maybe the guy that was working on it had to take a leave of absence

WG: you all got the markrov now, we need an other POG so you can't get dubs from the containers, so let's put this into game since every one disliked it for two years.

We still don't have the second Italian flag/alternate camo. So, a collection where you can get those, as well as Leone as the final "reward" might be a possibility. For free she is fine, for any semblance of money... nope. Edit: Just noticed she has only two smoke charges as standard, makes it even worse.

Spreedsheet must have needed a day off!

Some CCs out there are praising this pizza with tuna fish of a ship (awful)

give it good sap over ap and it would actually be somewhat useful

Half reload times of guns and double the torps and maybe It Will be good.

well you have better consilment then Błyskawica

I guess they didnt develop it for 3 years but rather started development and forgot about it, nobody is hyped for a low tier dd right?

I dunno but it would have been interesting to hear a comparison with other tier 6 DD's. As far as I know there are no "Halland's" at tier 6 that eat planes and all of them would hate ending up against a CV hunting them. 12km torps is not "ok", it's best in class by a mile. The smoke is also the longest spreading and longest lasting by a mile. Yes I understand the disappointment and it would have been a lot cooler to see her with crawling smoke and SAP etc but just objectively, is she very different or worse than other tier 6 DD's? To me it looks like she's better in some ways and worse in other. A meh-bote perhaps

I never got to a 19 point commander, a few are close, I don't play 1 ship much, I tend to play many.

well..it exists..

So; if the Genova was a DD...

T61 is King at this tier

Well Done WG my money is safe and sound in my pocket. Just wonder what LWM thinks of this, I do miss her reviews

Shame, I’m a tier 6 collector but even this pos don’t even attract my kink sensor now.

I really surprised that This current version of her shells Ballistic is Hugely buffed compared very first iteration of her.

so its a Genova in DD form

So thats what happens at the end of development hell...

Kitakami has been in delevopment since beta.

YES say it !! No change in 2 yers time and its Piss of skitt DD .. better to buy a Burger.. that waste the money on this one.. Zerra Channel..

The Makarov is good tho...

Why cant i use my ship until its gotten out of a damn battle? Probably the most frustrating stupid mechanic built into this game (discounting dead eye)

I am not spending $$ for it. So another Co-Op port queen? I hope she is worth the coal at Anniversary times.

So, poor concealment, Italian sea mines for torpedoes that the cruisers get and only four of them, no AA, and slow reloading guns. Wow, this sounds great. Nice job WG. Yeah, I'll pass. As usual WG only puts out strong high tier ships.

It´s a T6 so i was never exited or waited for it at all.

Wait... it still exists

Haha iChase , WG just release the video introduce the ship lol

Me: Can outplay most if not all sub 50% players (in surface ships). Sub 50% CV players: CVs NEED BUFFS, JUST DODGE, ADAPT, REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ruins entire match for me. WG: Everything is fine here. There's more people playing CV. Spreadsheet says so.

wow such a shame. i might have unlocked my wallet for a good ship. this ,? no no money for WG still.

May be they will offer it for coal? Hope so since I have so much I don't know what to do with it. As for WG, they got my last "real money" last year and no more. I think I'm done with the release of the italian BBs in such a pathetic state.

It ain't worth being a T6 and definitely not worth the price.

i like makarov. this thing though just seems like hot garbage compared to many other tier 6 prem dd's

Well this is the cherry on top. Now we know that WG do not like Italians. Cruisers: Mediocre, BB : Poor. DD most likely a sh@t! Going to spend exactly ZERO euro this year for WoW.

Typical.. they could've realised it would never be good enough for it's tier and made it a T5... but I guess its a case of milking the most money. Same case as viribus unitis...

Probably will be free, as it's most of the trash botes they don't put too much tought on.

I don't entirely care if the ship is good or not. My main concern is that there's not point to it. What does it add to the game. Look at Paolo Emilio. Look at Massachusetts. What does this thing do that other destroyers don't? Even if it was on par with other dd's, why spend money or resources in it when you could just grind tech tree ships. It's just boring.

They could've at least downtiered it to 5

Why do you sound like Norden, even the laugh are similar. But the DD is so crap that it should have been in tier 4 or 5 not suitable for tier 6 . Low numbers of torps and smoke with long time reload on the main battery guns but at least you have 8 of them . Overall bad ship.

Jesus definitely feels like a Makarov 2.0.

All this design time for an effing T6? WHY!? No one even plays low tiers anymore, because WG killed the balance and MM there.

3 years of delevopment and they still messed up the classification. That is not a DD as the Atlanta is no Cruiser, another one of those ships you can just right throw out of the window since CVs. Especially those torpedoes are walking on a crutch...

hehe ! Super bad DD

Looks like something ignore-able

Uh .. No thanks on this one... . .

out of all those salvos u fired at the andrea doria 68 were non pens out of 80 hits lol with HE and 2 fires lol no thanks

Thanks for review! I want’t buy this ship

Yet another piece of junk pushed out by WG that I won't buy and that I will sell if it's given to me (kind of like the Makarov!)
