[2019] Changes to the Names of Italian Cruisers

Dear players,

After additional discussion regarding our name choices for Tier VIII-X Italian cruisers, we decided to choose a different set of names.

Your main concern after our previous clarification was that Verona, Torino and Milano had no naval theme, and we address it thus:

Verona will be renamed to Amalfi. Amalfi is an historical port town on the West coast of Italy, and there was an armored cruiser with such name in the beginning of 20th century.


Torino will be renamed to Brindisi. It is an historical port town on the East coast of Italy, and this name also belonged to a 1920-30 light cruiser.


Milano will be renamed to Venezia. Apart from the obvious maritime theme, it was also a 1920-30 light cruiser.

The names Pisa, Napoli and Palermo will be reserved for possible future ships. We also reserve the right to use Verona, Torino, Milano and any other names in the future, should we run out of reasonably significant maritime options.

Thank you, and arrivederci!

Hey JediMasterDraco,

We are glad you like the name changes. Please know the Italian cruisers are in their early stages of testing and they will go through the ringer before they are released. Keep an eye on the Developer's Blog for announcements of changes while they go through testing.

Thank you for your feedback on the name changes and ships themselves.
