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:
- Has access to Italian SAP.
- Has access to Exhaust Smoke Generator that allows the ship to remain undetected at full speed.
- Massive broadside of 16 guns.
- Shells have fast flight times, making it easy to lead.
- Highest alpha of any AP broadside (for now), even topping Vermont.
- Good side armor.
- Good turret angles; combined with good side armor allows for bouncing enemy shells while keeping all guns on a target.
- Rear guns can traverse a full 360 degrees.
- Decent AA, similar to Lepanto.
- Decently fast at 29.6 knots.
Cons:
- Does not carry HE shells that other non-Italian battleships have.
- Massive ship with poor concealment, comparable to Montana.
- Long cool down time for Exhaust Smoke Generator .
- Small gun caliber makes her unable to overmatch 27mm.
- Like Lepanto, most of the good AA is short ranged.
- Very long main battery reload.
- Firing range is the shortest for any tier X battleship, at 18.91km stock, although she has access to Spotting Aircraft to compensate.
- Rudder, while average for Tier X battleships, is still long.
- Large turning circle, only 10m larger than Montana.
- Very low health pool.
