That was a common opinion even at the time - unfortunately good looks were not matched by performance - they performed OK… in daylight… but that was all

TBF, from what ive learnt so far from my binge watching vidoes about naval armour, gunnery and so forth i would say the littorio and roma were pretty good for the day. I would rate them (personally mind you) above the bismark. The italians knew what they were doing with them at least. Just a shame the quality of italian munition was so low considering the accuracy of the ranging the roma had with its 20 or so range finders lol.
From what ive found out, the accuracy issue was a problem with the ammunition rather than the cannons, with poor quality being an issue. So if this would be seen as something that can be fixed in game i have no clue.
