I asked in chat in my first battle when I got that ship, years ago, the response was "The ship is meh, but the guns were amazing", I based my gameplay on that phrase and I enjoyed playing it.

When my first experience with USS Colorado makes me feels like this is a huge improvement of USS New Mexico like seriously it doesn’t want to explode when get hit by a 406 is a huge plus. And I love the guns on Colorado. I felt like it is a lot more reliable than IJN Nagato. Yes, Nagato is faster and all but for me, good positioning and good accuracy is better than just speed. Speed is an excuse of “I am bad at positioning” or “Saftey first”. Like I said, I love unprotected se-.

Colorado has gotten better the last few years. Brisk and a speed flag help a lot. Which is good since WG decided to make her the base for three separate branches of the US BB line.

I've found that position matters so much in Colorado in the modern game. I've had brilliant games in it where the 16's really make it shine. Also the pain from getting caught by a T9 gun DD and being unable to do anything against it is infuriating. They really need to fix base secondary guns.

Evidently Colorado was really bad 7 or 8 years ago. Since then, it has been buffed and is now a formidable ship. You have to be able to handle the 22kt top speed however. But the guns are dreamy.

I have mixed feelings about the Colorado. When you're starting out as I was, and working up the American battleship line, it's not horrible. It's not great, but not horrible. I've had some terrific battles with it. That said, the mixed feelings is because it's "not great" (slow) and that you'll have to play it a *lot* if you want to grind the other two battleship tech lines that split from it.

I'd argue the Nagato is better than Sinop in the current meta. I'm on the ASIA server though where people having taken passive to 11. Colorado is a fine ship. It just requires a bit of tactical planning and map awareness. The real problem is you have to play through it three times.

I free-XP'd past Colorado without playing it once, but finally got to the point where I'd played every other BB in the game and thought "how bad could it be?"..... It really was that bad. Even after winning 3 of the first 5 matches I played I sold it after because it was nothing but un-fun; no regrets. I don't usually suggest that people XP past any tech tree ships, but Colorado is absolutely the one to skip.
@joshuapatton74372 ай бұрын
West Virginia 1941 is my favorite battleship in game. Colorado is bad cause it is the wrong tier. New Mexico is bad but Arizona is historic. It is the equivalent of an American Warspite with its guns. Using the spotter plane early game makes it really good. Lots of krakens in it.

I hardly ever switch to he for dds when playing bb. Unless maybe the only ships left are dd and sub. Ap can kinda be better in a way anyways. HE is definitely great when you can get almost all shots on the hull but theres good chances of hitting modules and not doing damage. Ap always gives you that overpen damage

SLM an idea for you, react to a ridiculous video from the console version, like ask a legends content creator to show you a ridiculous legends only moment and have him explain the dumb stuff that can happen there with its unique and funny commander system, my recommendation: I.K.S Bortas (fiji with 30mm armor yes, thats real) Luisiana wity Arthas build. Good luck and try not to loser your mind.

i had a couple good games with colorado but its still a slow superdread not a real battleship and that is a lot of my frustration - the majority is you have to grind through two previous super dreads (new york, new mexico) and they take DECADES to grind through and are not fun to play 95% of the time. they need to drop either new mexico or new york or rebalance the xp those ships earn to get to colorado quicker. OR rework colorado to makle it a midway ship between the superdreadnoughts and north carolina.

Man colorado always gets cooked. With t9 uptier and slow ass speed, you get shit on vertically and horizontally. One example is when I saw a colorado get dev struck by a mushashi 20 KM away. Poor guy looked relatively new too. Another example is when I chucked a colorado bow in. He ate a 15k salvo.
