Her short range and large surface detection radius make flanking difficult and this also makes taking a central positions more tricky as she has to continually watch her sides. From there, though, the well gets pretty dry. Knowing which boolets to put into which heads will make this Italian Heavy happy. If you can get used to one, you'll do fine.įor expert players, dynamic ammunition choice is definitely one of those key elements which will spike Marco Polo's performance. You can spam nothing but AP or SAP shells (player's choice) and do alright, so that removes that element from the equation. However, she does inherit the ease-of-use of the Royal Navy's singular ammunition type. The only thing that keeps Marco Polo from earning a Simple rating owes to her exposed citadel. Skill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / HIGH / Extreme Skill Floor: Simple / CASUAL / Challenging / Difficult Painfully long reload time on her main battery guns. Good AP penetration for a 406mm shell, even over distance
Trollish outer-armour, good for foiling HE spam.Ĭomfortable fire arcs and decent gun handling Quick Summary: A short-ranged Italian battleship with nine, slow-firing 406mm guns and no Exhaust Smoke Generator. Does Marco Polo do it better or even more-different enough to be worth playing? Iowa, Missouri, Izumo, Bajie, Sovetsky Soyuz, AL Sovetskaya Rossiya and Lion all offer variants of this nine 406mm gun armed game play. What's more, arming her with nine 406mm guns makes Marco Polo analogous to a whole slew of ships at tier IX. It's not like buying Marco Polo gives you the full Italian battleship experience you're paying for her 406mm gun calibre by losing out on an Exhaust Smoke Generator. While there are some Italian flavour-crystals mixed into Marco Polo's build, the concentration isn't as high as the rest of the line. Marco Polo's gimmick is that she's a perfectly reasonable, nine 406mm-gun armed battleship a gun calibre not present in the main Italian tech-tree. Please be aware that her performance may change in the future. To the best of my knowledge, the statistics discussed in this review are current as of patch 0.10.1. This ship was provided to me by Wargaming for review purposes at no cost to myself. The following is a review of Marco Polo, the tier IX Italian battleship.
