HMS Collingwood is roughly based on the F2 battlecruiser design from November 1921. The design, following the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty, was armed with six 381 mm (15″) guns in three twin turrets and had a planned displacement of 35 000 tons. At the same time, the O3 design of battleship was being developed and lead to the creation of the Nelson-class. Basically a “washington-compatible” version of the G3 design. The cap was now 35,000 tons standard, way below the 48,000-50,000 tonnes worked on until then. The Admiralty ordered two designs to meet this, called F2 and F3, and a third, called O3 battleship, later the Nelson Class. Both F designs were marked by the adoption of a new 15in/50 gun which matched in range the dropped 18-in of previous designs. The armour scheme of O3 was mirrored while a speed of 30kts was kept. The F2, which is what Collingwood is based on, could be summarized as a “battlecruiser version of the Nelson”. It measured 760 (oa) x 106 x 28ft 6in (231 x 32.3 x 5.6 m) for 35,000 tons as planned. Machinery was of course much smaller and only reached 112,000shp, enabling a top speed of 30kts light. They were armed with three twin 15-in guns (six 381 mm) mixing twin turrets ad single 6-in guns (4×2, 4×1) and four multiple (sextuple probably) 2pdr pom-pom mounts, still two underwater 24.5in torpedo tubes. The internal belt was lighter, back to the old 12in thick scheme, over the machinery spaces, 13in over the magazines but angled at 72.5°, so artificially increasing is thickness. Deck armour was lighter too with 7in over the magazines, 3.25 in over the machinery spaces, 13in barbettes and 16 in turrets faces, 7in sides and back. Total weight of the armour was still 10,210 tons. Fun fact: Collingwood is named after Admiral Horacio Nelson’s second-in-command, Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood (26 September 1748 - 7 March 1810), who fought alongside Nelson in several British victories during the Napoleonic Wars, including the famous Battle of Trafalgar.
The Collingwood looks great. I do love my Premium Warspite though and I have it set up to *BLAP* hard with Running With Scissors at the expense of range. Spartan Elite43 will have 50k subs before August! I have spoken.
Spartan: You go through the side you get citadeled. You go through the dec you get citadeled. You go through the front you get citadeled. Me: So basically what you saying is if a seagull poops on the ship you will get citadeled
Quacken! Who doesn’t love Conquerer guns? It’s like all the other T6 ships for the most part, except it’s all 356mm rated armor and doesn’t have a belt on the side to Angle to bounce shells.
Thank u for being the person who helped me find this game and thanks for being the person who keeps the game fun 👍great video as always. I also wish u the best hitting 50k
I saw tomboy's video, and other than the reload booster and sonar, I just don't see why I'd get Collingwood over Nelson, especially since the armor makes me want to cry 😢🤷♂️
@@Tyke78 Well I mean I did say shes a glass cannon but honestly shes been pretty good to me despite her obvious flaws.. her speed is nice and the rapid fire heals are pretty nice too i mean they are no super heal but not bad
Despite having green armour for the entire hull, i still struggle to hit this thing's citadel, even when they're flat broadside, cuz all i get is overpen, because, reasons.
Hi Spartan did you know something about the ship USS CONSTELLATION because this morning i found it in n the game 😮 I believe is about the super test maybe
Holy crap I just bought the collingwood 😊talk about a glass cannon 😂but don’t sleep on this ship it will smack the shit right out of the enemy team lol , is a dang 🎉my first 5 matches 🤯🤩🥰
Having to think-tank the Collingwood. My first 5 games in it have confused me greatly: people go broadside against this thing like nobody's business, but WG seem to take citadels away from broadside ships against this thing. Shot high, low, cheek, aft cheek, and plunging thru side deck/s.structure, no bonks. 419mm AP bounces off La Galissioniere bow and New Orleans cheek. Though i love the forward facing 3x turrets more than i thought i'd would, this thing is a big ol question mark.
Gg wish you uploaded that match the morning Collingwood came out vs my Benson. Me and my Div mate benson were hoping to see you rush my smoke from your prespective
Spartan , I've learned a lot from you but I wish you would use more of the" regular " commanders and inspirations that us regular players may have other than the Al commanders n Hyde ....
I understand where you are coming from but I use the best possible setup that works for me. Everyone's mileage may vary and I have shown plenty of times the alternatives to the commanders I use.
Great game It seems like an interesting ship however at best it’s a side grade to the Nelson if not worse 6 vs 9 guns with no over match difference and no super heal.
Just wanted to tell you I just seen the new USA BB SHIP T8 on the high sea. (Constellation ) it h as torpedoes I think it was a BB cruisers kinda like the German BB don't know if it's going to have limited DC
I swear DD’s always get away with yolo’ing ships in close quarters. You shoot them, they’re still alive somehow and you eat a lot of torps. Usually how it goes.
I probably won't bother getting this one. I'm too aggressive in battleships generally so I'll get nuked if I take this out 🙂 (Also I saw Tier 7 USS Constellation in a battle this evening. Interesting)
Everyone said Collingwood would be trash. This video shows the opposite. Good job, Spartan, I've been telling people the guns on this ship are not to be triffled with. Also, the Heal is a specialized heal that can recover penetration damage where as, normal heals and super heals can not do.
My first impressions from this ship (haven’t played it) we’re meh. It looks like a Nelson without the things that make Nelson good. I fought 2 of these in my Normandie and if it wasn’t for that reload booster I would of killed both of them easily as that nose is rough
Oh great- an insta delete bb.spartan, just a side note- i know the nomenclature is used a lot but the guns on these ships are not 40 ca/ 50 caliber etc... Thats a pistol or rifle....pew pew....really small bullets. Thanks for the vid.
You realize that caliber is used in Naval guns to describe the length of the barrel right? So a 16 inch 45 caliber gun is a gun that is 16 inches in diameter and 45x16 in barrel length 720 inches long.
Spartan I have a review for you. This ship is a piece of crap. No armor, awful dispersion, slow like a turle, no AA. Am I forgetting something else? Man, I bought becouse of you review, but man what a horrible ship. Thanks dude. I agree with you " this thing is disgusting".
Just gotta learn to play it... it is a very good ship. You essentially have conqueror guns at tier 6 with reload booster that's crazy... Just like Nelson you've gotta pick your engagements and utilize cover to avoid the massive hits and you'll be fine

The guns
I looked at the Collingwood and the reduced price Nelson on Monday. I said no to the Collingwood but yes to the Nelson.
The Collingwood looks great. I do love my Premium Warspite though and I have it set up to *BLAP* hard with Running With Scissors at the expense of range.
Spartan Elite43 will have 50k subs before August! I have spoken.
Doubtful but hey I wouldn't complain!

Pretty much

The us carriers have there crit towards the rear
What a game!!!!!!
That kraken was craaaaazzzzyyyyyy😮😮 Good job Spartan
Glad you enjoyed
i personely like the nelson more, because it is a OG premium and it is just lovely to see more than 30% set on fire
The armour on this ships looks pretty light for a battleship
I saw tomboy's video, and other than the reload booster and sonar, I just don't see why I'd get Collingwood over Nelson, especially since the armor makes me want to cry 😢🤷♂️
I may have to check his video I havent seen what others think yet
It also doesn't have super heals
@@SpartanElite43 so far you’re the only creator who hasn’t shat all over this thing
@@Tyke78 Well I mean I did say shes a glass cannon but honestly shes been pretty good to me despite her obvious flaws.. her speed is nice and the rapid fire heals are pretty nice too i mean they are no super heal but not bad
Do you see urself ac playing it ?
I like this ship! Played a few and did well...
I do enjoy collingwood but it’s armor can be devastating sometimes
Remember when Nagato an Colorado had the biggest guns...
Despite having green armour for the entire hull, i still struggle to hit this thing's citadel, even when they're flat broadside, cuz all i get is overpen, because, reasons.
I toured the Mighty Mo in Pearl Harbor today and thought of you Spartan! ❤❤❤
Awesome!
Hey Spartan, thank you and i appreciate you sharing your life ❤
Glad you enjoy!
Fun fact: Collingwood has a 2.0 sigma meaning that shells will be grouped together more often than not hence the stupid accuracy you see.
Hi Spartan did you know something about the ship USS CONSTELLATION because this morning i found it in n the game 😮 I believe is about the super test maybe
Yeah its being tested
Nice vid as always but the citadel on the ranger is under the smokestacks anyway keep up the good work
Holy crap I just bought the collingwood 😊talk about a glass cannon 😂but don’t sleep on this ship it will smack the shit right out of the enemy team lol , is a dang 🎉my first 5 matches 🤯🤩🥰
Yeah she's nasty but gotta protect yourself
I have a game on my channel that I got a Quaken in but had no clue I was on 4 kills when I got it lol
Noice
After seeing other videos on this ship, I chose to buy the Nelson instead. The Nelson seems more solid and is on sale right now.
Fūso pls and so close to the dead strike if the one shell hits you get dead strike and the close corners because the last shell was a secondary
Having to think-tank the Collingwood. My first 5 games in it have confused me greatly: people go broadside against this thing like nobody's business, but WG seem to take citadels away from broadside ships against this thing.

Sometimes he mentions the in game commanders and inspirations. I bought this ship. I like it. I like graf spee too I’m used to death 💀 😂
Saw you playing this ship on Islands of Ice (Epicenter) 😂
Noice yeah I got focused hard in that match bottom tier too and still survived to make everyone regret it
Spartan, today I saw a constellation. I found it in a tier 7 game, is it added?
It's in testing
@@SpartanElite43 Really? I blapped that man 30k citadel, the accuracy of that thing is awful. He couldn't hit more than 3 shells at 14km
Great game It seems like an interesting ship however at best it’s a side grade to the Nelson if not worse 6 vs 9 guns with no over match difference and no super heal.
Just wanted to tell you I just seen the new USA BB SHIP T8 on the high sea. (Constellation ) it h as torpedoes I think it was a BB cruisers kinda like the German BB don't know if it's going to have limited DC
P.s.Someone was testing it so it might be the new campaign ship come for the next update???
It's TIER 7 Not TIER 8
@@CRAIGKMSBISMARCKTIRPITZ533 yea I just looked at it my bad
I quite like this ship and have a few good games in it but I still think the Nelson is a better ship. Great game though Spartan 👍
Can you do the hood again
I swear DD’s always get away with yolo’ing ships in close quarters. You shoot them, they’re still alive somehow and you eat a lot of torps. Usually how it goes.
Nice Kraken.
Quuuuuuuuuacken!
Thanks
The kraken was awesome but they need to do something with destroyers they can't be that strong with such weak armor
Another good video Spartan ❤
Nice stuff Goat
Appreciate it
I just bought that ship. 5 games in 5 games lost. Omfg all the time im getting hit at the citadel and im gone in 5 mins. Every single game 😭
Gotta be careful.
Love the videos keep it up 👍
Glad you like them!
The Spartan curse strikes again , anyways awesome game as always Spartan keep doing what doing
Thanks, will do!
Nice game bro! #SpartanArmy
Welcome.e home spartan.
Thanks
Collingwood reload time and consumables is what the Florida SHOULD HAVE!! 🤦🤦♀️🤦🏾♂️
When I saw this ships 419mm guns I was like wtf and I thought you can’t get bigger than 410s why
😄
Seeing how the reload is already good I would run sharny and Cunningham...and propulsion
I was in a game with you that had 4 dd's per side, you came in top of the leader board, I was second in my stock Kiev
Noice! Gg
I probably won't bother getting this one. I'm too aggressive in battleships generally so I'll get nuked if I take this out 🙂
(Also I saw Tier 7 USS Constellation in a battle this evening. Interesting)
Did anyone else notice an American ship by the name of constellation?
I am very much upset I missed the entire azurlain series
Also, since these are dual turrets, Ive noticed that Collingwood's 3rd turret has better gun angles than Nelson
This comment is to thank whatever unsung hero is out there gifting memberships.
Cheers.
You literally 600 away from that solid 200k game
Everyone said Collingwood would be trash. This video shows the opposite. Good job, Spartan, I've been telling people the guns on this ship are not to be triffled with. Also, the Heal is a specialized heal that can recover penetration damage where as, normal heals and super heals can not do.
this isn't a battleship it's a heavy battlecruiser
Paper cannon!
May be paper but it'll still cut ya

GG
See the cv player had no idea how to use it..I would have sunk you already..
Looking at the overview, so this thing has good guns, but no armor.
Literally a glass cannon it seems.
Hi
hi
🇺🇸🇩🇪👌
Absolute waste of money I hate that ship with a passion hahaha
Why?
I'm also curious why? 🤔
Spartan I have a review for you. This ship is a piece of crap. No armor, awful dispersion, slow like a turle, no AA. Am I forgetting something else? Man, I bought becouse of you review, but man what a horrible ship. Thanks dude. I agree with you " this thing is disgusting".
Just gotta learn to play it... it is a very good ship.
You essentially have conqueror guns at tier 6 with reload booster that's crazy...
Just like Nelson you've gotta pick your engagements and utilize cover to avoid the massive hits and you'll be fine
I guess I'm first?
Noice!
Honestly Rodney should be it not this
Nelson copy paste
But it's not... it has 419mm guns instead of 406mm
Except it is faster, has 3 less guns, the guns are a different size, it has less armour and different consumables, but it is a British Battleship
