Black Fusō
Tier VI · Battleship · Japan
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 59) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship, suited to fire pressure. It is especially strong against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Its AP main battery DPM of 49,303 is 20% above the same-tier battleship average. High HE fire potential (2.2 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Sluggish turning means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.
