Ok simple question, since other nations have 16 inch main batteries, not to mention some with 20s reload times, when does USN ? I mean comon, no Iowa class, no South Dakota, no North Carolina class, geeze not even Colorado since the Snail seems to believe the USN never built a capital ship after 1920. They gave the Russians a make believe battlecruiser, so what gives ?

i think Colorados will come pretty soon, then NC, then SD, and finally Iowa
Colorado was apparently planned for the December update but was delayed due to the time constraints of the update. Rodney was prioritised because weโve had so few ships at top tier in recent years.
Likely coming next major update. SD or NC probably coming in 2025

When? Obviously what we really need is 5 more top tier Russian tanks and 6 more BR 14.0 Jets โฆ ๐ (Oh and hey, to appease the 13 y.o. fighter mafia lets nerf the bombers one more time so the landing gear falls off on takeoff and the engines catch fire too ๐)

Considering that the US never had 410mm guns, and never commissioned Nagato like they did Prinz Eugen, Iโd say never.
406mm guns, however, will probably be next patch.
As has been said, a Colorado-class was both on the reliable-leak-list and also in the dev server files for the December patchโฆ but given how quickly it had to be released (especially after the delayed previous patch) it seems she wasnโt quite ready in time. Sucks, I was rather looking forward to her.
As good as guaranteed to be in the next patch, which is unfortunately a much longer wait (March). :(

They almost got Colorado class bb this update, but I guess they didnโt have time to finish her.
From the dev server:
I guess in the next update USN gonna get Colorado class or something like North Carolina-class

Yeah, whatever sure. Iโm an Imperial not a CGS units guy. Since you love to nitpick - 406.4mm to be exact. After all those 141.7 mils really matter in a 16"/50 caliber from 66.67 feet to a whole seven more inches of barrel length โฆ ๐ But as you know the Japanese classed them as 400mm to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty ๐

Maybe USS Colorado is not made for December update, but naval event in January.
Whatever, caliber doesnโt mean much in this game. Which Mutsu and Rodney clearly proves right now.
