 * 135 mm HE-TF Contro-aerea - Time-fused high explosive shell, able to counter enemy aircraft through shrapnel. Use [[Crew skills#Gunners|Distance fuse set accuracy]] crew skill to increase the probability of fusing in the perfect spot for the kill - however, even with the skill maxed-out, shells still can explode ± 100 m away from a target at 5000 meters range, which is more than enough for the aircraft to avoid taking any damage. Still - it's by far the best round to use against enemy airplanes.

 The gun is available in 4 different mounts. A single mount used on destroyers has the most rudimentary anti-fragmentation mount. Twin cruiser mount has insufficient protection to stop anything but the machine guns. Battleship secondaries come in two distinct mounts, and while both have a nearly identical armor, the twin-mount used on Cavour is somewhat more difficult to penetrate due to having a much smaller face and a side armor at a very steep angle.

-'''135 mm/45 O.T.O. Mod. 1937''' was an Italian naval gun designed as a response to the French 138.6 mm/50 and was planned to be used on a wide variety of warships - from destroyers to the battleships. Most of these planes were cancelled before completion, as the gun was introduced on the verge of WW2, and didn't see any major naval engagements before the armistice.

 In the game, it's best used against destroyers and coastal vessels, as it features few characteristics that make it excellent in that role. Against cruisers, it will, however, suffer significantly from having a relatively low explosive filler.

-The biggest weakness of this gun largely determines its use. Low explosive filler makes is less effective in dealing with the cruisers than it might appear after reading the penetration table. Thus, it's particularly good at dealing with enemy destroyers and coastal vessels, while struggling to score kills on heavier warships.
