Italian BB Cristoforo Colombo Line - Standard Captain Build
- SAP-slinging battleships with hard-hitting shells (if they hit) and Exhaust Smoke Generator for escaping focus fire. Note the emphasis on “if they hit.”
- The premium ships Marco Polo and Ruggiero di Lauria have accurate shells, but do not feature Exhaust Smoke.
- This is a standard BB tank build, adapted for Italian battleships, providing great survivability for maximum game impact.
- You may swap main battery reload mod for range mod if you don’t have Luigi Sansonetti and don’t feel comfortable with stock range plus spotter plane.
- Luigi Sansonetti is highly recommended due to his improved Gun Feeder skill as well as both of his talents.
- The Unique Upgrade (Legendary Upgrade) for Cristoforo Colombo is highly recommended as the increased accuracy makes her salvos far more reliable.
- The -2 smoke consumable charge nerf does not change our recommendation. UU Colombo remains the best option for Slot 6.
- If you don’t have the Spotter mod, use MAM1.
- Applies to Dante Alighieri, Conte di Cavour, Giulio Cesare, Andrea Doria, Francesco Caracciolo, Vittorio Veneto, Lepanto, Marco Polo, Cristoforo Colombo, Sicilia, and Ruggiero di Lauria.
