-|InTheGame_performance= First thing to note is that the Kawachi's turret arrangement uses two wing turrets on each side of the ship in addition to her bow and stern turret; thus there will always be at least two main batteries shadowed regardless of which direction you are shooting at. As with all battleships, the Kawachi requires more than thirty seconds to reload a main battery, resulting in a rate of fire of 1.8 rounds per minute per gun. Like the South Carolina, Kawachi's shell dispersion is extremely scattered, resulting is far more misses than hits at any range but point blank.
-?
-?
-Comparatively speaking to the South Carolina and USN Standard Battleships, the Kawachi's speed is standard with a maximum speed of 20.4 knots, which is sufficient to keep pace with most lower tier cruisers but is still not enough for you to freely reposition on the map.
-?
-?
-Kawachi's protection is solid, with AP penetrations from similar tier light cruiser guns fairly unlikely. Similarly, her superstructure is small and difficult to hit with HE rounds, affording her some protection from HE damage. However, 305mm cannon fire will penetrate her armor regularly and, if not angled, strike her citadel.
-?
-?
-The South Carolina has the advantage in gun range at 11 km when fully upgraded.  However, the IJN Kawachi has the advantage in her far smaller detection radius, allowing her to always close into gun range before being spotted. Since the ship's turrets are not super-firing like the S. Carolina, a valid strategy to both reduce damage and increase your damage output is to constantly turn to change your angle, allowing the use of both sets of wing turrets.
-?
-?
-The Kawachi is not a good ship for her tier and almost always a chore for a first time battleship captain to steer. Her rate of fire is low, her speed average at best and her dispersion horrid. She is easy prey for stealth torpedoes and cannot adequately deal with charging destroyers due to her dispersion. Even perfectly aimed broadsides often fail to achieve anything of notice.
-?
-?
-All in all, a poor introduction to the battleship line, especially when played poorly. Progress through this ship with haste, the following ships are far better, both in comparison to Kawachi and to their respective tiers.
-?
-?
-'''Pros:'''
-* Large amount of main batteries, but two wing turrets always unable to fire in a broadside.
-* Her concealment is good, allowing her to always fire at anything that can see her.
-* Very tight turning circle.
-?
-?
-'''Cons:'''
-* Bad mobility, though better than the South Carolina's.
-* Worse gun range than the South Carolina along with worse gun handling in general
-* Awful gun reloading speed
-* Almost no AA power, though not as important at its tier.
-?
-?
-|InTheGame_research=
-*  First priority is to upgrade the Gun Fire Control System upgrade increases gun range from 8.8 km to 9.8 km, allowing for the Kawachi to fire at any enemy that sees her. This requires the "B" hull.
-* Then propulsion for sorely needed maneuverability and top speed increase from 18.7 to 20.4 knots.

-|History=
-Kawachi (河内?) was the lead ship of the two-ship Kawachi-class dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the first decade of the 20th century. Following the Japanese ship-naming conventions, Kawachi was named after Kawachi Province, now a part of Osaka prefecture. During World War I she bombarded German fortifications at Tsingtao during the Battle of Tsingtao in 1914, but saw no other combat. She sank in 1918 after an explosion in her ammunition magazine with the loss of over 600 officers and crewmen.

-The Kawachi really isn't the best BB in the world or in the game, but use your still very much large amount of guns to your advantage, and make sure you only engage 1v1, as your RoF is really bad and will hinder you greatly...you will generally get pummeled by the lower tier cruisers or mid tier because of their much higher RoF and speed, sometimes even torpedoes. pick your fights and this can be a very formidable machine.

-First priority research for the Kawachi is to upgrade the firing control module to increase her gun range from 8.8 km to 9.8 km.  The South Carolina has the advantage in gun range at 11 km when fully upgraded.  However, the IJN Kawachi has the advantage in having more main caliber guns.  When playing the Kawachi it is always very important to take advantage of the ship's 21 knot speed.  When Compared to the South Carolina the speed of the Japanese Battleship has the advantage to close the distance quickly to get into a gunnery dual.  Since the ship's turrets are not super-firing like the S. Carolina, always fight and turn to keep your winged turrets ready to fire.
+* The "B" hull is required before the firing control system upgrade, and adds hit points and AA performance.
+* The Gun Fire Control System upgrade increases gun range from 8.8 km to 9.8 km.
-Like the South Carolina, the shell dispersion is very wide and maybe even worse.  So while your wing turrets are still loading always try to move and turn to alternate between the two sets of loaded wing turrets.
