Ishizuchi — Japanese Tech Tree Tier III Battleship.

One of the draft designs for a battlecruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy that subsequently materialized as the Kongō class. The ship had a high speed and an impressive artillery. The arrangement of main turrets allowed her to fire a full broadside with all main battery guns. The known drawback of the ship's design was her very weak horizontal armor.


Year of Design: 1909

Ship Traits
Fast: Above average maximum movement speed.	Compromising: High caliber AP shells overpen the armor, but may still arm, depending on shell velocity.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Great maneuverability for a battleship.
• Good HP pool for her tier at 45 000.
• Very good main battery reload time for her tier.
• Better-than-average turret traverse for IJN battleships.
• Range is good for a battleship of her tier at 14.3 km.
• 305 mm guns deadly to cruisers.

Cons:

• Terrible anti-aircraft suite.
• Paper-thin armor; most battleships and some cruisers can penetrate her main armor belt.
• 305 mm AP shells are defective historically, and shatter on practically everything.
• Abysmal anti-torpedo protection.
• Citadel is easily reached.
