Hizen — Japanese special premium Tier IX battleship.
A pre-draft battleship project was developed in the mid-1930s in Japan. It included different versions with speeds varying from 24 to 31 knots, main battery guns from 410 to 460 mm, and displacements from 49,000 to 69,500 tons. One of the variants had a conventional superfiring arrangement of four turrets with three 410 mm guns in each, and its 155 mm guns were housed in triple-gun turrets. The project had a hybrid diesel and steam turbine propulsion plant. Further development led to the creation of the Yamato-class battleships.

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.
