Ishizuchi — Japanese premium Tier IV battleship.
The original Vickers project commissioned by Japan had five twin-gun turrets with 305 mm guns. The client, however, was not satisfied with the test results of the British 305 mm guns. Further development led to the creation of the Kongō-class battleships.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Ishizuchi is a fairly decent Tier 4 battleship, as she features quite good maneuverability for a battleship. At first glance, you would think you were looking at a Kongo, and you would be quite close. As a Kongo prototype, Ishizuchi looks a lot like her tier 5 cousin, but that's where the similarities end. Ishizuchi has a bearable rudder shift time of 17s and a top speed bordering 28kts, making her one of the fastest battleships in the game. She also features 5 twin-gun turrets containing decent 305mm guns. She does however have absolutely terrible anti-air, and almost no armor, meaning you need to be careful and look at the map often for torpedo bombers and enemy battleships.
Pros:
- Great maneuverability for a battleship
- Premium credits and exp
- Premium commander training
- Pretty good HP for her tier (nearly 50k)
Cons:
- Terrible anti-air
- Paper-thin armor (most battleships and some cruisers can AP her belt)
- 305mm AP shells have a hard time with higher tier battleships
- Range is rather short for a battleship at 12.9 km
