Community ContributionsPlayer Opinion
Battleship - AL FusouPros:
- Large HP pool.
- Decent top speed for her tier.
- Powerful battery of twelve 14-inch guns in six dual mount turrets.
- A faster rate of fire than Kongō.
- Decent mobility.
- Good torpedo protection; similar to American dreadnought battleships.
- Impressive range of 16.7 km when upgraded.
- Broadside can potentially destroy anything in a single salvo provided all shots connect and they penetrate.
- Surprisingly well armored against HE shells and even 16 inchers if angled right.
- Favorable gun firing angles.
Cons:
- Sluggish handling characteristics.
- Very high detection range.
- Poor AA suite even when upgraded.
- Poor deck and bulkhead armor don't allow for immune positioning; extremely vulnerable to fires.
- Uses the same guns as Kongō, which has difficulty dealing with more the heavily armored battleships at her tier
- Having two turrets amidships limits forward and rear firepower; turning broadside to use them invites serious damage from enemy battleships.
- Still suffers from battleship dispersion and a terrible sigma value of 1.5, though her shell volume partially compensates.
