Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 79) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship, suited to fire pressure. Its 410mm guns carry a 250% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 55,920. Wide dispersion makes it a high-variance gun, though. Effective HP of 67,607 is 7% above average. High HE fire potential (2.4 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). At 27.2 kn it is slow, so commit to a flank early.
