Col_NASTY Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I had the ship so they gave me 2K DUBS!  🤩 Go get yours! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralThunder Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thanks for the tip. WG should be giving us 2K Doubloons just for taking that thing never mind compensation if you have it already LOL . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 They really need to make this or one of the Ducas a coal ship. I know Leone is effectively one via a collection from coal crates, but both Italy and Germany really need a mid tier coal boat in the Armory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or you got it during an event (was either a dockyard mid tier reward or some event - maybe ITL Cruisers? - all I recall is we could earn it somehow when it 1st came out).

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I don't have a Genoa... ...one more ship I won't get out of a surprise mechanics box I suppose. Heading to ship fitter to see what I'll get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results ride between rather mediocre and the sort of bloody slaughter that Horatius Cocles would have been proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the objective to buff reload and the spotter action as much as possible? It's tier 5 so it should be usable, as skill is pretty variable...might be a fun ship to surprise people with...

Heading to ship fitter to see what I'll get out of it. It is so bad I don't even play it for flakes since the new system was implemented. I use a bonus flake I earn from another ship to claim the one on it. It's not only on the list of ships I never want to play but it is near the top. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is all citadel and is covered in 13-16MM plate. It's an Italian Omaha with a 20 sec reload (actually give me Omaha over it any day). It's bad even in Co-op.

Colonel Potter Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 2,000 Doubloons richer because I always keep the ships I get through giveaways, missions and so on. Anyway, I am kind of weird because I actually enjoyed playing the Genova, lol. Actually have a 69% win percentage in the 26 games I played in it.

I wonder if WG considers its potential DPM high because you can get the torpedo reload down to 42 seconds...which is interesting, but practically useless.

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 First game, 1600 bxp and a win. Two kills. The guns are, not good. The torpedoes are interesting anti-DD weapons...nice for flushing smoke...since I can have four of them launched every 20ish seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The torps are really weak like EU DD torps (9K) and it only has 4 torps per side (2X2). Also, they are SLOOOWWWW at just 51 knots. Torps are pretty much inconsequential on it. Ok for a little extra damage in Co-op but not much use otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, according to the spreadsheet, that quick reload gives the Genova an on paper damage output that is much higher than in reality. I'm wondering if WG is looking at those paper stats and thinking the ship is fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people at WG who make decisions seems to "balance" via the spreadsheet and not actually playing the game so possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
