Who cares about US ships, what naval player wants is glorious Yamato battle ship
While the fast battleships range from good to arguably superlative the Colorados won’t move the meta one bit and probably should’ve been the first 16” ships in game from a balance perspective. With the model looking to be a fit carrying the 5”/25 it will be in about every possible respect worse than Rodney and Mutsu. The only way I could see it being an upgrade to Tennessee is if they increase the rpm to 2 only for the 16”/45 and not the 14” guns, if they don’t do that I’m somewhat confident in saying that it will be worse than Nevada.

As soon as they decompress BR and put it at say 10.7, then yeah sure ;)
Well I actually love the Nevada, I think what is totally out of wack is the ridiculously long reload rates for USN capital ships.
Fair point you’re not wrong there
First, it is not top ship anymore, there are Novorossiysk and Arkhangelsk in tree, and actually they are better choice.
Two. Britain and Japan. Olivia’s leak of Soyuz actually not seems like about this update, rather ‘start to develop’ as usual Olivia’s leak intend. And there are also Colorado in same leak list.
I actually did a report on that, which was accepted but has not been implemented. Reloads for all US superdreads should be anywhere between 2-2.5rpm based off irl firing trials. It had been thought previously that the rate of fire decreased after the 30s modernizations but I found a primary source document saying otherwise. I hope they do get around to changing it eventually as outside the reload the standards are a joy to play in my opinion.

Well this post aged like milk.
Colorado’s in the leak.
Do you have a Link? Or are you, as usual, just repeating something you read from someone else who actually knows?
Any hint that they might? Because that is something I really want to see changed
I’ve asked HK a couple times and so far no news about them changing it. Perhaps once proper fast battleships start getting added it could be changed to keep them relevant(copium).

Actually modelling file was already in Storm Warning update’s dev-server

Or maybe the condition of such record is not under full salvo. Rodney’s record about 27 second is also denied because it is half-salvo and 30 second record of full salvo is only accepted, though they saids next update it will be changed(Rodney still has 40 seconds reload)
Ever heard of the Katie shell?
As near as I could tell working off the SRBP numbers for the recorded shoot I used in my report with Tennessee as an example, the shoot consisted of firing ~6 salvos worth of shells as fast as she could and derived rate of fire from there. The USN statistic did not list salvo interval in terms of time, but rather shots per gun per minute, with reload time being derived from that statistic. In that shoot Tennessee fired 71 shells with a derived SPGPM of 2.2, so it isn’t an issue of half salvos misrepresenting salvo interval.
Assuming that practice remained the same into the 30s, as it was still SRBP, these numbers improved into the 30s and per Jurens had to be ordered limited to 2.5spgpm to ensure safety.

no, never, and I couldn’t care less about your Katies
15-20 kiloton nuclear naval artillery shell :)
cool, bring them in the game. I guess it would work as fine as F-117
Thank you sincerely. Can you please provide the source?
source on which? that leak list or Colorado on dev-server?
