Not rated · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 6 min on paper). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides. A firepower equipment build improves reload 18→17.1 s, dispersion 288→262 m. Too few same-tier, same-class ships to compare, so no overall grade is given.

The best battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese War. The ship was well-balanced, with very good armament and armor for her time. However, she was in many respects largely inferior to successive dreadnought battleships.
