To people who are complaining that Colorado is in the loli range:

The Colorado-class were, on average, between 624 and 630 feet (around 190m). By comparison, the Nagato-class were 660 feet (around 201m), Nelson around 710 feet (216 m) overall, and the Iowa-class at 887 feet (270 m). Compared to all these other BBs, Colorado is a tad short. Do remember that she was designed almost immediately after the launch of Dreadnought, and was standardized alongside WW1 era designs like Pennsylvania and New Mexico, hence the notion 'Standard-type Battleship'.

TL;DR Colorado is an old lady that never got the time to get a length boost because the Navy Board switched priorities to newer designs. And don't pull the Kongo-card; they were in the 700-foot range at the time, which is why they aren't represented as little twerps in-game.
