Here's our First Look at Tier X Italian battleship Cristoforo Columbo. There's a lot to like about the hull, but I don't see a lot I like about the main battery. I'm prepared to be wrong, of course; it's not uncommon that something that looks questionable on paper turns out okay once you try it in-game. But these main battery guns have a lot of handicaps baked into them in order to balance the number of shells they throw with how Wargaming has coded SAP mechanics to work. Let's dive in and talk more about it.
