Description

The Alberto da Giussano-class, RN Bartolomeo Colleoni, 1932 is a rank III Italian light cruiser with a battle rating of 5.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".

Historically Bartolomeo Colleoni was the third ship of the Condottieri-class, she was laid down in June 1928 and commissioned in February 1932. Comparing to the later RN Raimondo Montecuccoli (laid down in October 1931) it had a significantly worse protection, completely lacking any armour around barbettes and having a weaker citadel armour. It was originally designed as a direct counter to the French large destroyers, thus speed was of a much more value than the armour.

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Armament

Primary armament

4 х Turret2 x 152/53 mm Ansaldo mod.1926 cannon
Ammunition404 rounds
Vertical guidance-5° / 45°

RN Bartolomeo Colleoni has 4 turrets with 2 x 152 mm cannons each. They can load normal HE, APHEBC, or HE-TF shells. The turrets all have good horizontal traverse range, and only a small angle is required for a full broadside salvo. The fire rate is slow, but with good ballistics and explosive filler, the HE shells should still be able to quickly dispatch any unfortunate destroyers. The APHEBC shells are well suited for use against better-armoured targets, such as other cruisers. The HE-TF shell can be useful against aircraft, but are difficult to use efficiently due to their fixed timed fuse.

Secondary armament

3 х Turret2 x 100 mm/47 O.T.O. Mod. 1928 cannon
Ammunition1200 rounds

RN Bartolomeo Colleoni has 6 x 100 mm cannons split into 3 turrets as secendary armament. They are positioned in the middle of the ship. Due to their placement, only two turrets can be fired in the same direction at the same time. Their reload speed is much better than the main cannons, as to be expected with the smaller calibre, which means they can be used efficiently as supplementary damage output while waiting for the main guns to reload. Three shell types are available: HE, APHE, and HE-TF*.

Anti-aircraft armament

2 х Turret40 mm/39 Vickers-Terni mod.1915/1917, Modif.1930 autocannon
Ammunition1500 rounds
Belt capacity50 rounds
Fire rate200 shots/min
4 х Turret2 x 13.2 mm Breda Model 31 machine gun
Ammunition6000 rounds
Belt capacity30 rounds
Fire rate500 shots/min

An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.

Additional armament

Setup 18 x 533 mm steam turbined torpedo S.I. 250/533,4X7,5 Tipo A

Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.

Scout plane

Main article: Ro.43

Located amidships is a catapult with one Ro.43 scout plane which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. The Ro.43 is a 2 seater equipped with two fixed offensive light machine guns and a single defensive machine gun turret, but no bombs. It does have the scout plane ability to cap zones and lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new!

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High top speed
  • One scout seaplane

Cons:

  • Low firing rate of main battery
  • Almost zero armour protection

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
