Here's our First Look at Tier IX Italian battleship Lepanto. Continuing up the line from Tier VIII's Vittorio Veneto, Lepanto will look familiar. Her armor scheme is very similar, and she's added more guns. To me, though, it's the mixture of soft stats that don't show up until you start digging that really make me dislike what I see. Chiefly, Lepanto's abysmal main battery range married to her above average detection radius is going to make this ship a nightmare to play.
