In my opinion is certainly better than Georgia and Ohio

I can neither agree nor disagree with this as I do not have JB. I can see you don't have the Georgia and Ohio either, so I don't see the basis for concluding they are worse (in your opinion, as you said).

 

I've played the Richelieu and was not too impressed with it. I liked the speed and agility but the weak turret armor and lackluster accuracy were a big turn-off for me. If JB is more accurate, it would definitely be worthwhile for me. The reload booster is nice but I prefer accuracy and overmatch overall for more consistent damage. 

Also, all JBs that I've faced in my Georgia have died at my hands (no exceptions). Some of these battles were virtually 1 vs 1 as well. 

 

Anyway, don't get me wrong - I am not bashing on the JB. In fact the next steel ship I am aiming for is Bourgogne, which is like an extension of JB. I like fast and agile BBs more than slow and tanky ones.

I play Colbert for the challenge and enjoy it. Prior planning is require as to position and the amount of fire you will draw in return. Will I be spotted or not etc? I also prefer Colbert to Smolensk as I see Smolensk as way to OP !!!

Even a BB moving can be hard to hit with a Colbert !

Would the play style be similar to the Bayard? i love that ship.

 I've rented a Bayard for 24h and had a blast with it. Amazing little ship, I wonder if Colbert is the same. :cap_hmm:
