Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 2) · Balanced battleship
Balanced battleship. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 5 min on paper). Top speed of 28.4 kn is high, but sluggish rudder make sudden dodges hard. Key skills: Precise Aiming System I ×3 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s); Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides. A firepower equipment build improves reload 21→19.95 s, dispersion 344→313 m.
