Colorado — USA Tier VII Bitevní loď.
She became the final phase in development of conventional battleships that featured very heavy armor protection for the vitally important parts of a ship. Key differences from her predecessors were her 406mm main guns and a novel torpedo protection system. In speed, she was outclassed by other battleships of her time.

Představení lodi
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. 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.
A 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. 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). 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.
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. Fitting her with the latter will boost her range to rival her contemporary, Nagato, but doing so will exclude maximizing either her secondary weapon or AA focused-build options. Colorado also received a buff to her hit points, putting her on par with her contemporaries at tier 7.Plusy:
- All-or-nothing armor: she has the same solid 343mm (13.5 inch) thick all-or-nothing armor layout as New Mexico, being easy to angle and providing a large immune zone
- Good gun characteristics: she has good damage and penetration on guns including over-matching all 25mm battleship hull armor, as well as a reasonably tight shell grouping, also reloads 4 seconds faster than New Mexico.
- Powerful AA guns: modernized hull's AA suite will shred mid-tier squadrons, making Colorado an unappealing casual target or flyover
- Has good steering response times and tight turning radius
- Equipping the Artillery Plotting Room modification upgrade can reduce the range gap with her Japanese and German tier counterparts
- Fighter seaplane is available to replace spotting planes to enhance AA defense
- Main battery's tight spread means it can severely damage, if not outright destroy, any ship at close range effectively
- Repair Party heals 0.65% of maximum hit points per second, compared to the standard 0.5% hit points per second, partially compensating for the lower health pool.
Mínusy:
- Very low mobility: Feels even more sluggish compared to the New Mexico, also has atrocious acceleration without top engine, thus it is also very hard to stop and reverse while sailing her.
- Low number of guns: having four fewer guns than her predecessor, being accurate in making your shots is much more important
- Poor close-quarters defense: her secondary armament pales in comparison to Nagato and Gneisenau
- 25mm plating everywhere vulnerable to HE spam and overmatch by 15in guns.
Výzkum
Colorado is very slow. Therefore, researching the Engine upgrade is highly recommended. Afterwards, one should research Colorado (B) before the Gun Control Fire System upgrade, as any range increase provided by the latter is offset by the ship's lack of main gun accuracy at longer ranges. Additionally, Colorado (B) greatly increases ship stamina and AA defense, two assets Colorado must rely upon to compensate for other deficiencies.
Doporučená konfigurace
Vylepšení
Despite her shortcomings, Colorado is a surprisingly modular ship which can be tailored to focus on main guns, secondaries, or AA.
Slot 1 is most commonly filled with Úprava hlavní výzbroje 1 (
), though Úprava pomocné výzbroje 1 (
) is a popular pick for captains who go for a full AA build with other upgrades and commander skills.
Slot 2 has one choice for battleships - Úprava systému řízení oprav 1 (
). This will reduce chances of fire and flood.
Slot 3 offers several options. Úprava protiletadlových děl 2 (
) will boost maximum AA range, while Úprava sekundární baterie 2 (
) will boost the range and accuracy of secondaries instead. Úprava postu navádění dělostřelectva 1 (
) will increase range and give secondaries a slight boost in range and accuracy, but may be a weaker choice than the other two.
Slot 4 Úprava řízení 2 (
) is recommended and will reduce rudder shift time. Captains with fire problems could also consider Úprava systému řízení oprav 2 (
), reducing the amount of time on fire and conserving hit points.

Spotřební doplňky
Players can equip the following consumables on Colorado: Damage Control Party, Repair Party, and a choice between Spotting Aircraft and Catapult Fighter. It is strongly recommended to take the Premium versions of Damage Control Party and Repair Party to maximize surviveability. Given Colorado’s limited range, prioritising the Spotting Aircraft over the Catapult Fighter will often give more benefit to Colorado.
Kamufláž
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Colorado with Type 17 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
