The primary missions are escort operations and forward active combat operations. Possesses&#8230;\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"link-card__domain\">\n                                    mwstats.info\n                            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This ship shares many similarities with another Italian tier II ship, <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/it-caio-duilio-b1jrhpn5\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/it-caio-duilio-b1jrhpn5\">IT Caio Duilio<\/a>. Both ships are focused on artillery. While Caio has 3 cannon slots, this ship has 4 of them. However, you can only change one of the cannons freely, the other ones are locked with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/cannon\/breda-7662-super-rapid-76mm-bux7zwwg\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/cannon\/breda-7662-super-rapid-76mm-bux7zwwg\">Breda 76\/62 Super Rapid<\/a>. This cannon features an auto lock-on feature and can also destroy air targets, just like the tier II <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/cannon\/melara-rapid-76-mm-2vq3zz17\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/cannon\/melara-rapid-76-mm-2vq3zz17\">Melara Rapid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 missile slots that provide decent firepower at the tier, so even with a strong artillery focus, you don&#8217;t have to completely sacrifice missile-focused gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anti-submarine capabilities are limited to one torpedo slot. This makes it somewhat challenging to counter enemy submarines, unless you want to sacrifice the missile slots by equipping an anti-sub missile like <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/missile-battery\/smart-324mm-7so2o2i3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/modules\/missile-battery\/smart-324mm-7so2o2i3\">SMART<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air defenses are nothing to write home about. A single free slot doesn&#8217;t provide much protection against enemy air threats. However, the ship&#8217;s locked cannons can be used to destroy enemy helicopters and planes but keep in mind that they will often miss at long engagement ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, this ship definitely provides a unique gameplay experience with its 4 cannons that you don&#8217;t get with other tier II ships. As most of the tier II ships are balanced to perform in an extremely similar fashion, it&#8217;s always nice to see a ship that breaks the mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This green camouflage features four-leaf Clovers and animated falling horseshoes. The camo features a cool 3D effect where the graphical elements are on different layers. When moving the camera around the ship, they move at slightly different speeds, giving it a parallax effect. The camo surface looks almost like a hologram.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='mws-top-level-wp-image'>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/iframe.mediadelivery.net\/embed\/137823\/38508bd8-41f3-4bce-b0c7-eb6faccce74c?autoplay=true&#038;loop=true&#038;muted=true&#038;preload=true&#038;responsive=true\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;position:absolute;top:0;height:100%;width:100%;\" allow=\"accelerometer;gyroscope;autoplay;encrypted-media;picture-in-picture;\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Despite being colorful and animated, this camo manages to be clean and subdued instead of flashy and in-your-face.

Since this bundle is priced at 46 EUR (or your local equivalent) it&#8217;s a decision that you are going to make on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ship is pretty good and it provides a unique sailing experience, but since it&#8217;s in tier II, you should get it only if you play a lot of tier II or you are a collector. It&#8217;s very unlikely that the ship will be added to the in-game shop in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cosmetics are nice and if you are really into Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day you will definitely enjoy them. However, the camouflage and flag have really nice designs and they look great even if you don&#8217;t take the festive theme into account.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate the traditional Irish holiday, Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day, Modern Warships developers have added a new bundle to the game themed after Leprechauns and four-leaf Clovers.
