If the italian navy did not get raped by the RAF how well would they have preformed?
>If the italian navy did not get raped by the RAF

possibly raped by the RAF again

Raped by the RN.
Basically if it did they did not get torpedoed to death, if they did not get bombed to death. They would have been shelled to death. Italy had a problem with conducting actual warfare in wwii
>>32146845
Poorly
Raped by the luftwaffe after they switch sides.
They'd have looked good doing it at least.
Why does Italy's suck so much at war?
>>32146845
Italian navy's two biggest problems were lack of fuel, and an aggressive leadership.
>>32146845
Poorly, like the rest of their military
The Arditi is the only good thing to come out of Italy in at least the last 200 years
>>32146845
Raped by the RN.

The Regia Marina did pretty well actually considering they were up against the largest navy in the world and then the two largest navies in the world with the only help coming from Germany.

RN Mediterranean fleet (based out of Alexandria) and Force H (based out of Gibraltar) were the two main forces keeping the RM in check, and they were not larger than the RM.

Italian navy was not raped by the RAF. Taranto was done by carrier-based bombers of the FAA, which was RN.

Excellent post.

They weren't ready for war in either ww1 or ww2, both times they just dove in head first without considering the economic investment needed.
