That average damage isn’t just a fluke. This ship is capable of dishing out huge damage numbers

Love all the Italian battleships. Have every single one in the game. Colombo has been fun 🇮🇹

What we have here is a very well presented review of this ship. I do not agree that the lower tier Italian BB's have a less-than-fun value. A few ships that come to mind is Dante Alighieri, Cavour and Giulio Cesare. Ok so those are all lower Tiers...however I find that the Andrea Doria, Caracciolo and the Vittorio Veneto can make an impact benefitting the blue team as well. I also think the Verdi is quite good but that's just me. I think they're all good and fun if one plays them to their strengths which is easier said than done...because a player will often choose ships that are compatible to their specific play-style which is why one will see reputable KZfaq creators review a ship, and say it's good and supporting that claim with evidence...and you can still find a person or two in the comment section insist the ship is trash...but I digress. I'm getting close to reaching Segment 11 regarding the Columbo, so I'm not far away from having this ship. The build I plan to use is Iachino as the primary with diRevel and Hipper or di Revel as the primary with Iachino & Hipper. I like accuracy/secondary hybrids regarding the Italian BB's but that's just me. What I'd like to see from Spartan is another Lepanto video that showcases the extents of the nerf's impact and if that nerf impacted the ship enough to render it a shell of its original self...or, is it still quite capable and fun regardless of the nerf?

The Cristoforo Colombo was based on General Ferrati’s Project G class battleship design which originated in 1915. The “G” Variant of this battleship on paper, was a 37,000 tonnes battleship, before treaty limitations. This was a postwar project which need a radical hull improvement, with only 50 mm of deck armor and no AA. The belt armor was stated as 270 mm and around 300 mm on the turret faces. Progetto G was also supposed to carry sixteen 380 mm guns in four triple turrets and superfiring, quite a radical upgrade compared to the Carracciolo. These were the same guns, but with an improved reloading system to provide up to 2 rpm and a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s with AP shells. Secondary artillery was no longer in barbettes, but in turrets, in all sixteen, and of 170 mm guns (7 in) and no longer 6 in. Configuration was eight twin turrets plus twenty four dual-purpose rapid-fire 102 mm guns, completed by many 40 mm AA guns. This was quite impressive in 1919 and would have been equally so in 1940. The lack of armour was a presumably better speed, as the Carracciolo, and a massive firepower. This would have been a sound calculation, as shown at Jutland, which showed bad visibility nullified range advantages. However shell dispersion would have been a real issue.

Columbo has been a beast for me. I would have liked to have seen SAP mains. Probably too OP tho.

GGs Spartan. That was a great push, thankfully you had some decent teammates to support you!

Spartan , I run a hybrid build with a 16/3 Hipper, and Michael LeTir as inspirations, and a 16/3 AL Littorio as my main. It ends up being an accurate, fairly agile and survivable battle wagon that punches holes in darn near anything and chews through other ships via the secondaries at a reasonable pace.

I build this ship to be versatile, good in every position and moment.

Mines almost done researching, im excited to try her out and use her full 360 guns

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1423">23:43</a> I believe the word you were looking for was respite. Nice job as always Spartan!

Helpful video Spartan..Thanks! I unlocked her this weekend...went for full accuracy with Angelo Iachino plus Cunningham and Madden. Did try Littorio but not sure she is as good? This ship and Guilio Cesare are the only two really good Italian BB's out there imho...such a shame. She looks good in green St Paddy camo btw 🙂. See you out there!

mama mia we love colombo!

Nice one…. Thanks for sharing!

Spartan the word you were looking for was respite

For commander I replaced not one for nuisance with brawler, I put on will to rebuild which have at tier making those 6 heals 800 something over 14 seconds, out on the new British commander instead of haruna bringing my reload down to 27 seconds 16.5 km and 9.8 km secondary range. this ship is the sole reason I have been playing legendary tier

I run an accuracy build and don’t regret it. Shoots like a shotgun when running a secondary build and I tend to overextend like you did with a secondary build.

Close to getting this ship, I think I will be going full secondary and giving it a go

Those main guns are more accurate then a full dispersion build in a bismark😂

Thank God I had just finished getting hipper and haruna to level 16 and im almost done getting the shliffen after that Calisto Columbo.

I was waiting for this vídeo cause im building my first legendary and is the colombo. I see that you,re so close to finish 😅

Colombo is just the god tier of Battleship Damage output🇮🇹💯🎉

*happily sails along in a Constellation*

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1135">18:55</a> nice Poco reference Sparts!

This ship does the Italian proud

Spartan, finally got my Montana that ship SLAPS!!

Spartan i run my Colombo the same way. I like to have some fun with this game

Try running Henrique Fernandez instead of Haruna for secondary and main battery range buffs. Great game tho!

they need to shorten some of the cool downs on the consumables like 3 mins is a quarter of the match

Accuracy Build is the way to go. I’ve tried both. This ship is the nastiest of nasty.

Instantly clicked the notification when Spartan released this vid

Bro slinging spicy meatballs. Pasta fleet 🇮🇹

Full accuracy build here and I full health dev strike almost anything, I've hit a Yamato for 8 citadels before and it was such a hilarious moment.

82 percent win rate in roma at 345 games. I'm so ready for this thing I can't wait

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1420">23:40</a> you were very close - a respite - "a rest or break from something"

Was wondering when this was coming out

Chad Di Revel user spotted

Hey Spartan did you get a notice from war gaming about some user policies coming out after nov.30?

Yeah I’m Italian but live in America so your first way you said his name in right lmao

good game

The only playable Italian battleship

In blitz this ship can delete dds in one salvo. Of course one good turn deserves another…I can delete this same ship with all 15 shimakaze torps

Is it worth getting the tirpitz or sharnhorst? And selling the fuso

Is there a discord that Spartan runs?

GG

How do I complete stage 4 I'm so lost I just started palying this game i know im 5 or six years behind smh lol please help

Respite, this is the word you were looking for. I'm still looking for some respite is WoWS:L.

What's the best American battleship and German battleship? I've never gotten past 100k damage

oh the rear turrets are 360??? did not know that ;p,...i dont have it yet

Yap yap yap

Can you get epic mods anymore?

Hi Spartan, I wanted to ask a pro, which American ship from the tech tree or even bureau has the best secondaries? I do enjoy how they can constantly harass enemies. I know ships like the Bismarck, Schlieffen, and Atlantico have good secondaries but I'm way off getting any of those ships. Always fun watching you obliterate the red team :)

How much money do you spend on this Game

An Italian battleship that is good and fun? Is that legal?

All of that for 95k credits lol

Lets gooo 🔥

I do better in legendary with musashi lol. This ship is just ok imo.

🇺🇲🇩🇪👌

Its Colombo not Columbo 😂

Colombo* lol

I hope you don't live near the Beaver Creek Ohio area. And if so I hope you weren't in Walmart.

17 minutes of talking

Thirty give this thing 4 heals, but Kurfurst gets only 2???? Literally the most shit ship in the game and it gets only 2???? And this gets 4??? About time I move to pc because fuck this.

I'd rather have more heals to not use than only a couple

If any battleship should be nerfed it should be Yamato they nerf all the wrong ships lol
