Bungo
Tier X · Battleship · Japan
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 60) · Agile battleship
A mobile firepower battleship with ten 457 mm guns, 15.06 km range, and 10.98 km detectability. A 30.02 kn top speed and 22.54 s acceleration make it agile and quick to claim good positions, and 3 charges of High-Precision Spotter II boost both range and accuracy. The wiki notes that since Blitz has no overmatch, targeting enemy battleship citadels is more efficient than shooting cruisers. Air Defense Alert II and AA 20% above average make it strong in carrier games too. However, HP is low at 65,271, so it crumbles quickly on the front line.

After revising the development plan of the Japanese Navy, new battleships and battlecruisers were ordered, which is how Project L emerged—an expanded version of Project A that became the Kii class. She also had five main battery turrets housing 457 mm guns. However, the project's displacement exceeded that of the Kii class by 9,000 tons, resulting in a cost surge. The emergence of both the Kii class and the mentioned ships was prevented by the Washington Naval Conference, resulting in a temporary ban on the construction of battleships and limiting their total tonnage.
