Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 64) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship, suited to air scouting. It is especially strong against battleships and cruisers (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 7 min on paper). Its 406mm guns carry a 250% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 58,050. Wide dispersion makes it a high-variance gun, though. Launching aircraft every 58 s lights up enemies behind islands and near smoke, a big scouting asset for the team, and its bomber strikes (10 bombs at 1,239 each) reach targets beyond gun range. Sluggish turning means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.
