Here's our First Look at Tier VII Italian battleship Francesco Caracciolo. Near as I can figure, this is a Wargaming design based on something they found in the archives of the Regia Marina. Caracciolo is an interesting ship nonetheless, mounting the same guns found on Tier VIII's Roma and Vittorio Veneto, just one less barrel. She'll have an interesting time fitting into Tier VII, where she should be a holy terror to cruisers but less of a threat to enemy battleships.
