Xuan Wu
Tier IX · Battleship · Pan-Asia · Premium
Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 79) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship. Top speed of 31.7 kn is high, but sluggish rudder and acceleration make sudden dodges hard. Main battery range is 14.7 km (0.6 km longer than average), and a good sigma clusters shells toward the aim point. Key skills: Rapid Reload II ×2 (main battery reload +43%, 20 s); Scout Plane I ×2 (main battery range +12%, 30 s). Detectability of 12.72 km is 1.08 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands. Its weak detectability (12.72 km) drops to 11.32 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).
