Cristoforo Colombo — Italian Tier X battleship.

A hypothetical project that is a variant of the development of Italian ships based on the Vittorio Veneto class and a battleship project for the U.S.S.R. with a displacement of 42,000 tons. The increase in firepower could have been achieved by increasing the number of guns and turrets: quadruple-gun turrets with 381 mm guns were in development in the late 1910s and early 1920s.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Largest number of main guns of all Tier 10 battleships, with sixteen (16) rifles
Currently the heaviest AP broadside in the game, beating even Vermont
SAP shells can be extremely effective against angled and/or lightly armored targets
Good main battery firing arcs
Both aft turrets can turn 360 degrees
Both SAP and AP shells have very good shell velocity and low air drag
Good external protection - icebreaker bow and thick midsection plating
Fairly powerful AA defenses
Access to the Exhaust Smoke Generator  consumable
Fairly good ship speed of 29.6 knots

Cons:

Third smallest hitpoint pool among Tier 10 battleships
Main guns have no access to HE shells, like all other techtree Italian battleships
Second worst reload speed in its tier/class, only Vermont's is longer
Very poor accuracy, comparable to Tier 7 French battleship Lyon
Small gun caliber, AP shells cannot overmatch 27mm armor
Shortest main battery range of all Tier 10 battleships
Enormous target with poor concealment
AA defenses are short-ranged, making them rather ineffective at preventing plane strikes
Most secondary mounts are 90mm and lack penetration (even with IFHE)
Very large turn radius and fairly slow rudder shift
Turtleback is unreliable at best, quite vulnerable to citadel damage when showing its broadside to enemy battleships

Research

As a Tier X ship, Cristoforo Colombo doesn't have any upgrades to research.
