Overview

Curtatone is a Tier II Italian stealth-leaning destroyer with strong surface detection (5.3 km). The kit opens detection windows most peer DDs cannot match, so her value is contesting caps from concealment edges where the detection band holds. Standout traits: top-decile HE DPM in T2 DDs (87,000) and top-decile fires per minute in T2 DDs (3.6).

Positioning

Hold concealment edges on the contested cap at 5.3 km detection. The band opens windows for unspotted torpedo drops and clean repositions; lean into the gaps your peer DDs cannot read, and back out before detection closes.

Potato Avoidance

Burning the 5.3 km concealment advantage on guns

Every salvo lights you up and gives back the detection edge that makes the kit work; reserve guns for finishing damage on already-spotted ships, and prioritize torpedo drops you can fire while undetected.

Signature Traits

Engine Boost

+25% speed, 15 s duration. Engine Boost consumable temporarily raises top speed. Mobility on demand to reposition, chase a kill, or break contact.

Long-reach AA

3.0 km AA reach, top decile of T2 DDs.

HE DPM machine

87000 HE DPM, top decile of T2 DDs. Sustained fire pressure.

High fire pressure

3.6 fires/min, top decile of T2 DDs. Keeps DCP on cooldown.

Gun-boat DD

Main battery DPM in the top quartile for the cohort. Out-trades most DDs in open water.

Slow torp reload

90.0 s torpedo reload, worst of T2 DDs. Long wait between drops.

Acquisition

How to get Curtatone

Curtatone is available in the Destroyer Hunters branch of the Italy Tech Tree for 13,000 credits after researching it in the branch. Known module upgrades cost up to 2,600 credits.

Magazine HP

The magazine is the module a detonation comes from. Penetrating hits to it raise the detonation chance from 1% toward 30% as its HP is worn down, so a larger magazine pool rides out citadel hits longer before a detonation becomes likely.

Acceleration 0-90%

Time to accelerate from 0 kt to 90% of top speed (28.8 kt of 32). Numerical integration of the WoWS engine model with the inputs decoded for this ship:

maxPower = {(\frac{P}{m})}^{0.42} = {(\frac{22, 000}{1, 214})}^{0.42} = 3.3763

;

d r a g (v) = - \frac{v | v |}{V_{max}^{2}} \cdot maxPower

; piecewise acceleration

a (v) = {\begin{matrix} maxPower \cdot 2 + d r a g (v) & v < 7 kt \\ P (t) + d r a g (v) & v \geq 7 kt \end{matrix}

; the engine ramps over

τ = \frac{T_{up}}{2.61} = \frac{20}{2.61} = 7.7 s

. Euler step

v_{n + 1} = v_{n} + a (v_{n}) Δ t, Δ t = 0.01 s

until

t_{90} = min {t : v (t) \geq 0.9 V_{max}} = 16 s

. The 0.42 exponent, quadratic drag and the TimeScale 2.61 are the calibrated game constants (New York's 60/2.61 = 23.0 s spool-up matches in-game); no closed form.

16 s

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to accelerate from 0 kt to 99% of top speed (31.7 kt of 32). Same integration as the 0-90% row, read where

t_{99} = min {t : v (t) \geq 0.99 V_{max}} = 27.1 s

. 99% (not 100%) because exact top speed is asymptotic - thrust equals drag at

V_{max}

, so the last fraction of a knot is never quite gained.

27.1 s

Traverse-to-turn ratio

How many degrees the turret can swing for each degree the hull turns. Turn rate

ω_{hull} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{V_{max} (m/s)}{R_{turn}} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{32.0 \cdot 0.5144}{470} = 2.01 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{10}{2.01} = 5.0 \times

. Below 5 the turrets drag in a turning fight; 25+ keeps up with any rudder.

AA defense

AA DPS at point-blank7

In-game AA card sum: 7 DPS, achievable only when a target is inside the shortest-range AA family. Captured as a point-blank total only -- per-family breakdown not yet recorded for this ship, so the DPS at 3 km is unknown.

Maximum AA range3 km

In-game AA card max range: 3 km. Only the longest-reach family contributes at this distance.

AA threat index21

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.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 8,900, 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.

Bow & stern6 mm

Overmatched by 104+ guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Farming6 mm

Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 3%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the ballistics tool →

Section	Plates	HP cap	Threats	Tactic
Bow	6 mm	1,500 (17% of HP)	Overmatched by 127mm+ (Farragut, Shenyang)6 mm: HE pens from 127mm+	Bow-tank fits behind this exterior plate. Saturation is FAST here; the cap is often only a few thousand HP.
Stern	6 mm	800 (9% of HP)	Overmatched by 127mm+ (Farragut, Shenyang)6 mm: HE pens from 127mm+	Mirror of bow. Same fast saturation.
Citadel	6 mm	≈ 165,500 (effectively no cap)	Citadel pen ×0.50 damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage	Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. Damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead (×0.50 direct pen, ×0.10 over-pen).
Superstructure	6 mm	400 (4% 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 HP	4,500 magazine HP	Magazine detonation1–30% chance · below ~75% HP	Per-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.
AA mount (76 mm mount)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	200 per-mount HP	Destroyed at 0 HP	Per-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 HP	2,700 module HP	Incapacitated at 0 HP	When 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.
