Recently, her WWI-era hull was removed, greatly aiding in the leveling-grind and boosting her range to the point where installing the Artillery Plotting Room upgrade will depend on one's play-style. Furthermore, without a range modification installed, she must focus on closing distances with enemy cruisers and battleships to 14km or less, where her excellent guns are most effective at smashing them to bits. However, her atrocious acceleration, low speed, and relatively low hit points require exceptional situational awareness, careful positioning, good damage control management, and constant movement (she should never slow to a full-stop). While retaining the sluggish nature of the previous ships in the line, she has increased range and hitting power thanks to her 16in guns, as well as strong anti-aircraft armament.Ī massive departure of the other American super dreadnoughts New York, New Mexico, and Arizona, Colorado, behaves more like a close-in brawler, slowly closing the gap with other battleships, under the protection of her thick armor and sound torpedo bulge. The very pinnacle of the American dreadnought and one of the Big Seven, Colorado is the last ship of this type you will experience within the US battleship line.
