Although it is best used against broadside cruisers at close to medium range, 203mm AP can be deadly at a tier where many cruisers have vulnerable citadels and thinner armor. However, as SAP can ricochet and doesn’t set fires or damage modules (unlike HE), Trento will struggle against sharply angled targets and higher tiered battleships with thick armor plating.Īlthough her SAP seems universally useful, Trento’s AP shouldn’t be overlooked. It excels at damaging lightly armored targets, including destroyers and the more thinly armored cruisers that are common in Trento’s matchmaking range.

Having access to both semi-armor-piercing (SAP) and armor piercing (AP) shells, Trento has the potential for high alpha strikes, but her long reload prevents her from damaging ships quickly and that makes good target selection critical.ĭue to its consistent damage and improved ricochet angles, Trento’s primary shell type should be SAP. The latter can be offset using the commander skill Grease the Gears and the Main Battery Modification 2 ship upgrade. Like many lower tier heavy cruisers, both her reload speed and turret traverse speed are on the slow side. Trento is armed with eight (8) 203mm guns in four (4) twin turrets. Despite having larger guns than the light cruisers that precede her, her play style doesn’t change that drastically, particularly when compared to Tier V Raimondo Montecuccoli. She shares many similarities with her Tier V cousin Genova, including identical shell characteristics and caliber as well as comparable agility, although Trento does have a faster reload and slightly better top speed and turning circle. Tier VI Trento is the first heavy cruiser of the Italian tech tree.
