Ashitaka
Tier VII · Battleship · Japan · Premium
Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 81) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship. It is especially strong against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). Its 410mm guns carry a 250% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 45,425. Key skills: Precise Aiming System I ×2 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s). Detectability of 12.24 km is 1.34 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands. Its weak detectability (12.24 km) drops to 10.89 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).

Ashitaka would have been the fourth battlecruiser of the Amagi class. She was laid down in 1921, but never completed, ultimately being broken up for scrap in 1924. If launched, Ashitaka would have boasted a very high speed and carried ten 410 mm guns.
