Player Opinion
Pros:
- Heavy broadside of twelve (12) main guns.
- Excellent main battery dispersion.
- Great firing angles foward and backwards.
- Combined with thick belt armor, this makes bouncing enemy shells while keeping all guns on a target easy.
- Decent main battery range, comparable to Alsace.
Cons:
- Second worst main battery reload speed in its class - 38 seconds unmodified.
- Significantly worse AP penetration than techtree counterpart Izumo.
- Extensively covered with 32mm plating.
- A maximum of four Repair Party (
) charges (three stock)
- Like Izumo, AA is nothing spectacular.

As a premium ship, Hizen doesn't have any upgrades to research.
