I find myself saying that at least 2-3 times a match..."what is that guy doing?" LOL! And yet another highly entertaining and enjoyable video from you sir. Thanks for all that you do amigo

Had to join your membership sir Spartan elite asked me to come check your stuff out and one of his older videos took me a little bit to get over here love in the content awesome job man
Marco Polo, together with her sister ship, Giuseppe Verdi, belong to the Ansaldo UP.41 design of battleships for the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy). UP.41 was modified from an Italian design by Ansaldo to sell to the Soviets, thus creating a new design specifically for the USSR. However, that base design existed beforehand and continued to be worked on by the Regia Marina past the point that UP.41 was sent to the USSR. Rather specifically, this stemmed from the planning for the 1935/36 naval program, which sought to construct a considerably more powerful fleet by 1942, including an oceanic component from a new base in Somalia, which gave the potential for the Regia Marina to convince Mussolini on plans for 41 000 tons battleships to succeed the Littorio-class, which had already had studies undertaken since 1935. The design almost immediately grew to 42 000 tons, but had similar dimensions and machinery to UP.41 (they weren’t changed by Ansaldo apparently), with an armament of 3×3 406mm, 4×3 152/55, and 12×2 100/47. Ultimately, the ‘oceanic/breakout fleet’ program was scrapped by Mussolini, due to the drop in tensions with Britain after a relatively short war conquering Ethiopia. However, the RM kept working on the design, hoping to work it into future programs. The design as it was in early 1936 was modified by Ansaldo and sold to the USSR, which became what we know as UP.41. However, the home-grown design continued to be worked on and modified through 1936 and beyond, growing to 45 000 tons. In December 1937 the ability to lay down two new battleships for the 1938/39 naval program was, after some debate, taken in favor of repeat Littorio’s, as the CSMM (Cavagnari) decided he wanted an already tested design that could be built quickly, due to the tense situation in the Mediterranean. Thus, the 406mm battleships lost their first chance. They were again included in the 1939/40 naval program, to lay down after the launch of the repeat Littorio’s, but said program collapsed due to the escalating situation in Europe and then finally the outbreak of war sealed their fate, though the design was still being modified as late as mid-1941.
I cant get marco polo to hit the broadside of a barn no matter how muxh accuracy I use or even if I take sap off. I probably should of chose Marlborough. I love guilo ,Roma and Colombo
Well, Marlborough has a sigma of 1.4 😬 which is even wilder (though there are a lot more guns), but cruisers can dev strike Marlborough’s… but maybe it will return for GXP!
I love the parody of your comments regarding the state of gameplay at higher tiers. Folks leaving their flanks and hiding behind islands requesting additional data. 🤣
An easily forgotten fact is that Giuseppe Verde/Marco Polo and maybe Lepanto have 25mm turtlebacks that make them immune to citadels from 356mm and smaller guns.
I think on PC Italian BBs have quick shell switching built in as a gimmick. Maybe you can use your vast swath of influence and push WG to change it for us...
Just got rekt by metajerk in the Napoli when I was in the Lushun. Sigh. He will probably make a video about how what a stupid player I am and I should just uninstall. Been a pc player since just after beta. Went over to legends to get away from the subs.
Naaaaah. I know the game you’re talking about though, I think you were on someone’s hydro, but I got positioned for my secondaries while your bb support was behind the islands. 👍

Shima goes one way, Hayate goes the other way, they just trade places 🙃

Thanks mang!
Al aurora has a -20% shell switch inspiration and you could pair that with the other commander skill that reduces it a further 55%
ooooooooh, thats interesting.. I know I have her ranked up, I will need to look into that... if only we could have ship specific builds!
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing - AL Avrora would be a good inspiration for the shell switch

They do it at all tiers! But at least we know where they’re gonna go, which is the wrong way 🙃
They all start somewhere, but does it have to be LT?🤣
Gg🍻
the OG "Training Rooms"!
Nicely done meta. GG
A hem… That’s how it’s done!
An easily forgotten fact is that Giuseppe Verde/Marco Polo and maybe Lepanto have 25mm turtlebacks that make them immune to citadels from 356mm and smaller guns.
Stalingrad found that out the fun way 😬
Just take your time, dont rush. So many players have ONE speed on the pedal LOL
There is a time and a place and it’s not when the countdown hits zero 😂
Kraken Ram, best kind of Ram. Let down.
Only in case of emergencies 😂
Omg that Yamato got massive hit . 😂 to then get yoinked with rear turrets from a certain M Polo 😂
Yeah raining hell with one shell 😂
GG
Fanx 👍
Doesn't that Russian AL Aurora Commander have the switch types faster?
Yes, another comment pointed that out, I will have to give her a try 👍
Im looking forward to Thunderone and friends… 🙂↕️

Well, I am in the dog house with WeeGee, so seems unlikely 😂
I miss your perchnerts videos :(
If I were still a cc, probably would’ve done one on this coming update 😬
Why doesn't your thumbnail have a big red arrow?
Haven’t unlocked that technology yet! ➡️🔃
Copypasta is more relevant because it’s Italian.
🍝 for real! 🤣
gg meta we just played each other on legendary i was in the gearing

@@metajerk you were in petro
@@DARTH_KNIGHT99 ooooh, the match on Scandinavia? If so, I went off on that one 😬
@@metajerk my team (not my div) let us down
@@metajerk it would mean a lot to me if you were to check out my latest video in gearing on two brothers
