Overview

Brindisi is a Tier VIII Italian heavy cruiser with a long-range torpedo battery reaching 13.5 km. The torpedoes are the threat tool; the guns are how she earns damage between drops. Standout traits: best top speed in T8 CAs (36.7 kt).

Positioning

Sit 12-15 km on a lane that the torpedoes can reach without exposing the hull. Drop on choke points and predictable rotations rather than direct lines; the torps are the threat tool, the guns are how you earn damage between waves.

Potato Avoidance

Holding torpedoes for a perfect drop

The torps are a threat tool: putting them into a lane forces rotations even when they miss. Drops on probable lanes are worth more than waiting for a guaranteed broadside that never appears.

Signature Traits

Fast for the class

36.7 kt, best of T8 CAs. Lets you rotate flanks or escape disengagements.

Holds speed in turns

301.4 hp per metre of turn radius, best of T8 CAs. Engine power overpowers lateral drag, so speed loss in sustained turns is mild.

Nimble for the tonnage

11.95 hp per ton, best of T8 CAs. Engine punch outclasses the hull's mass, so the ship retains speed through sustained turns better than peers.

Thick deck armor

150.0 mm armor deck, best of T8 CAs. Eats plunging fire and HE that peers don't.

Shatter-prone secondaries

15.0 mm best HE pen across secondary families, bottom decile of T8 CAs. Shatters on plates peers' secondaries pen, so direct damage trails the brackets above.

Short AA reach

4.0 km AA reach, bottom decile of T8 CAs. Drops bombs and rockets land before AA bites.

Acquisition

How to get Brindisi

Brindisi is available in the Evasive Cruisers branch of the Italy Tech Tree for 25,000,000 credits after researching it in the branch. Known module upgrades cost up to 6,875,000 credits.

SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.

Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.
Max secondary dispersion @ 5 km315 m

Secondary battery firepower

Secondary DPM (per side)117,000
Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 12×1 90 mm (6/side) × 60/4 × 1300 = 117,000. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).
Max HE alpha1300
Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1300 from the 90 mm family.
Max HE fire chance5%
Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 5% from the 90 mm family.
Max HE pen15 mm
Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 15 mm from the 90 mm family.

Armor

Hull HP 43,000 → 47,400 with hull upgrade, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are the exact in-game values, not estimated.

Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. Damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead (×0.33 direct pen, ×0.10 over-pen).
Superstructure16 mm primary (range 16–150 mm)1,600 (3% of HP)
Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage
Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP).
Turret (module, per magazine)separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP22,400 magazine HPMagazine detonation1–30% chance · below ~75% HPPer-turret powder-magazine HP. Detonation chance scales from 1% (no mag damage) to 30% (full mag damage); this range is the in-game value. Detonation can't roll while the ship is above ~75% HP (the standard detonation-protection threshold, not a per-ship stat). Smaller magazines saturate to the 30% ceiling faster.
Secondary mount (90 mm mount)separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP800 per-mount HPDestroyed at 0 HPPer-mount HP for the heaviest secondary on this ship. A mount destroyed at 0 HP is out for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. Smaller (lighter-caliber) secondaries typically share the same HP value.
AA mount (65 mm mount)separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP200 per-mount HPDestroyed at 0 HPPer-mount HP for the heaviest AA on this ship. An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast.
Rudder (module)separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP14,200 module HPIncapacitated at 0 HPWhen module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party.

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
