I checked out Notser's stream while he was previewing the Baguettes and the
Duca. The
Duca looked like a pretty fun little Tier VI, very VMF which makes sense since the Italians provided much of the advisory support for the Soviet naval programs. While aesthetically they are attractive the Baguettes though don't look like my cup of tea, at least in this iteration. Pretty much very fragile long range gunfire support. AA was terrible (Essex DBs just trashed the Tier X while DAA was active
)and the unboosted speeds were anemic. From what I saw they don't appear to be carry boats by any means and come apart if they get any kind of focus.
