Which italian battleship class do you prefere between Duilio\Doria and Cesare\Cavour?

Can we say both?

The Caio Duilio/ Andrea Doria-class was an evolution over the preceding
Conte di Cavour-class. Only superstructure and secondary armament seem to have changed among the two classes, but the hull design looks almost identical.

Hi Gap!
Yes, main difference was secondary\anti aircraft armament:
Cavour\Cesare was "old syle", with six binate anti ship turrets, while Doria\Duilio was based on Littorio's new configuration, with 10 single 90mm turrets for a\a and 4 more turrets as "true" secondary armament. Also Duilio hasn't 8x100mm.

BTW, i've hardly reworked Duilio, now more realistic, proportioned, and more historically correct.
You can see both class here:



Release soon... They're not finished.
Best regards,

I see the "usual" smoothing problems near the bow, or it is just my impression?

Yes and no.
There's a little smoothing, yes, but i've tryed to rework 3d model\shadows according to real ones. As reference, you can see Duilio's b\w photo into last poster.

Okay, ignore my previous comment if bow smoothing is as intended
