Musashi — Japanese Premium Tier VIII Battleship.

A Yamato-class battleship—Yamato's only sister ship to be commissioned. Just like Yamato, Musashi was the biggest warship of World War II. Upon completion and contrasting her subsequently modernized sister ship, she had more powerful secondary battery guns but weaker AA defenses.

Musashi was released as the final reward of the Bushido campaign, which took place from August 29th to October 3rd, 2022.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• 460 mm (18.1") guns are capable of penetrating the bow armor of almost every ship in the game at any range due to overmatch mechanics.
• Excellent 55% torpedo damage reduction.
• Large HP pool.
• Strong, reliable armor when angled properly against enemy ships.
• Better rudder shift time than her sister, Yamato.

Cons:

• Extremely weak AA suite.
• Large turning circle radius, slow rudder shift, and low top speed.
• Tall flat sides make her vulnerable to citadels from broadside targets.
• Noticeably worse accuracy than Yamato due to worse sigma.
• Only comes with 2 charges of the Repair Partyconsumable, instead of the standard 3
