He's an Italian himself though. He also made a proposed Italian ground forces tree.
The damage model for the boats seems awful. You need to damage every compartment to guarantee the kill? very strange.
Boat gameplay is pretty different from tanks; it takes some getting used to. I don't think it helps when you join a reserve battle and suddenly find yourself at the helm of a lightly-armed boat going 40-60 mph on a tiny map, surrounded by everyone else in similar boats going 40-60 mph, and the gameplay basically consists of yoloing and hoping you get lucky. Luckily it gets better once you unlock a few ships. I've gotten myself the two rank 1 American sub chasers, the 110-foot and 165-foot ones. I quite like them. I want to really like the 165ft PC-451, because I think she looks super cool, and while she can be an effective fighter, she maneuvers like a brick and presents a target like the broad side of a barn. Speaking of which, make sure to go into your ship controls and set "select primary weapons", "select secondary weapons", and "select anti-aircraft weapons" to keys. Mine weren't bound to any keys at first, so it took me a little while to figure out to set those in order to control the rest of my ships' guns. The AI gunners are useless. I've gotten a few kills in my PC-451 when I've been rushed by torpedo boats but managed to switch over to my 20mm cannons and perforate them.
I have a World of Warships Free Ishizuchi Key, anyone want it? Just PM me.

Italian tanks are coming! They have yet to show the whole tech tree though, I'm still hoping they include Hungarian tanks in that one

No Hungarian tanks yet... this looks rather bad for me.
Good to see some more Re.2000's though. Also:

Expanding the top tier is not a goal by itself. It's an objective. This is the only way for them to keep the player base on the floating point. As the updates keep coming by, there are less and less substantive gameplay improvements. The patches only seem to focus on introducing new content. All the adjustments which they brand (or sneak) as 'gameplay improvements', such as dumbing down certain mechanics, shortening match times, shrinking maps are merely improvisations aimed to adapt to an unstable and more divided player base. This is why the game looks more and more like a poorly designed product with bits of features cluttered together.
In short, keep that match maker going.
Or, y'know, don't, because it's probably not getting any better.
The grind to the top and the shortcuts that microtransactions give you are very likely what keeps the money coming for Gaijin, so I can totally understand them always adding a bit on top.Arvenski said:
And we also now get the italian tanks with many additional low and mit-tier vehicles, as well as the recent addition of naval forces, which at the moment are only low to mid-tier, so I wouldn't say that they only care about top tier.
They care about staying afloat. They can't do that with regular additions to the mid-tiers without flooding each tech tree with the equivalent of every bloody factory variation on a T-34, because going back to the middle of a tech tree is always going to be easier for the players than climbing onto a wholly new tier.
And...y'know. There's only so many ways to make a Panzer, too.
