This was during 1944 so i was thinking this could be a possible D hull upgrade. some balancing would maybe be needed though. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't Honestly, I wish that they would do this, if only for historical reasons. It's sad that ships like the New Mex class and Colorado class do have their full WW2 upgrades. And if that means that CV planes need to get a bit of a buff as compensation, so be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,887 [NSF] Big_Spud Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 5,304 posts 9,284 battles Report post #7 Posted August 22, 2016 Considering Gneisenau now has the most dangerous AA suite outside of tier 8 by fifty miles, I think it may be justified. Colorado can't brawl anymore because even the battleships are starting to have torpedoes. Everything is faster than Colorado, has more HP, better secondaries, better AA, or better armor. Colorado just seriously needs to be re-balanced, whether they just add more HP or give it another hull, it needs something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They just have to pick their spots, and know which BB's have torps and which ones don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her superstructure is also significantly changed from her sisters. Her and Maryland. Colorado stayed with the config we see in game.

Colorado sized, but North Carolina guns! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
