Tier VII · Battleship · Japan · Premium
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 20) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship, suited to AA escort, air scouting. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Launching aircraft every 40 s lights up enemies behind islands and near smoke, a big scouting asset for the team, and its bomber strikes (3 bombs at 1,265 each) reach targets beyond gun range. Main battery range is 13.5 km (0.5 km longer than average), and dispersion at 12 km is about 311 m, 8% tighter than average. Key skills: Precise Aiming System I ×3 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.

The Ise class was designed as an improved version of the preceding Fusō class. During World War II, she was rebuilt with a flight deck, replacing the rear pair of gun turrets to give her the ability to operate an air group of floatplanes.
