Named after one of the greatest military leaders of all time,
Giulio Cesare arrives in World of Warships to announce the era of Italian battleships!
They say that looks are deceiving.
Giulio Cesare can easily lull an enemy's vigilance
with her appearance. Her exquisite shape,
lines, and relatively small dimensions can give
an impression that you're facing a cruiser.
However, once you stand at the helm, Giulio Cesare will show you her true face.
The cruiser-like exterior conceals heavy armor,
powerful armament, and a true Italian temperament.
A combination like this can easily stagger any adversary.
Veni, vidi, vici.
This phrase of the great Caesar describes the
play style of this Italian battleship the best—
every duel with a same-tier counterpart follows this pattern.
So, what's the secret of Giulio Cesare?
Ten guns with a caliber of 320 millimeters installed in four turrets
according to an original "3+2" layout.
They provide a convenient range of 16.5 kilometers and
an accuracy that is on par with all competitors in her tier.
Giulio Cesare, like a true Italian bersaglieri,
delivers precise hits on the enemy one after another.
She looks decent when fighting against aircraft carriers as well.
After their first encounter with the Italian, Tier IV and
V carriers will probably try to stay clear of our hero.
However, more powerful squadrons will penetrate
the antiaircraft defense of this Roman tortoise.
Stick together with your allies if you’re at the bottom of the list.
And if the matchmaker decides that it is you who
should be the main striking force of your team,
you can fearlessly perform the favorite task of every battleship—
aggressively push through an attack direction.
To prevent anything from interfering with the victorious advance of the Italian,
the ship designers saw to it that she had durable armor. Of course, Giulio Cesare
is not encased in a thick layer of steel like the German König.
The Italian's armor is more similar to the outfit of a Roman centurion—
it's not that heavy, but allows for unhindered movement and
provides excellent protection in the heat of a battle.
The same applies to Giulio Cesare, but the important thing is that the
Italian battleship is covered with steel sheets from bow to stern.
The armor thickness varies from 110 millimeters near the ends
to an impressive 250 millimeters around the citadel.
The cruiser-like slants and slopes of the hull further
increase the probability of ricochets and non-penetrations.
You can encounter some cunning adversaries though.
Instead of listening to the clanging of
armor-piercing shells on the battleship's armor,
they quickly switch to high-explosive shells. But this Italian ship is quite
resistant to this kind of treatment and will not be set ablaze easily.
The Damage Control System upgrade and corresponding Commander skills will make
her even more fireproof and allow you to pass through a hail of HE shells.
Destroyers will have a hard time dealing with our hero as well.
It will not be easy to hit the Italian battleship with torpedoes.
A small turning circle radius and rudder shift
time of only 13 seconds make Giulio Cesare
a difficult target for torpedo attacks. Apart from this, there’s
always the risk that the Italian has already loaded HE shells...
The Italian Navy is only just beginning it’s reign in World of Warships.
Cruiser Emanuele Filiberto Duca d'Aosta has already won the sympathy of many Captains.
Now, it's time for the first battleship from
the Italian Peninsula to repeat this success.
Giulio Cesare has everything she needs: balanced armor,
good primary armament guns, and decent maneuverability.
In addition, this Italian is very attractive! No person who values
beautiful things can overlook this creation of Italian designers
who had clearly been inspired by the works of
the great Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo
Ave, the Italian Navy in World of Warships!
Ave, battleship Giulio Cesare! Ave, Captains!
