Italian cruisers of tiers III - IX:

The angle at which the check for ricochets is made for SAP shells is increased from 65 to 70 degrees.

This change will make SAP shells more effective against targets that are angled sharply.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary and subject to change.

It's more of a medium step.
Before this buff they have 65-80 degree range where the shell can ricoshet. After — they will have 70-80. While Tier X Venezia retains 75-80.
This buffse should be carefully considered, since 90 ricoshet angle will effectively mean that shell doesn ricoshet at all, and getting closer to it will gain bigger benefits, since it gets harder to always keep a perfect angle against those shells.

Glad that our thoughts coincided.

It does say "Italian cruisers" and Genova has same guns with Trento, so it will.

I see your concern, but I specifically checked that, and Genova should get this buff.
