Musashi — Japanese special premium Tier IX 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 in contrast to her subsequently modernized sister ship, she had more powerful secondary battery guns, but weaker AA defenses.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- 460 mm (18") guns are capable of penetrating the bow armor of every ship in the game at any range due to the overmatch rule.
- Very long range on the main battery guns.
- Long range secondaries; can reach up to 10.6 km with the proper build.
- Tight turning circle for a battleship.
- Tied with her Tier X sister, Yamato, for the best torpedo protection.
- Largest hit point pool at Tier IX, and second largest in the game, having 100 hp more than Yamato and beaten only by the Tier X Großer Kurfürst.
- Strong, reliable armor when angled properly against enemy ships; very strong horizontal armor offers protection against American AP Dive Bombers (still vulnerable to Graf Zeppelin AP bombs).
- Fairly good accuracy on her main battery.
Cons:
- Very slow reload of 35s on the main guns.
- Painfully slow turret traverse of 2.5 deg./sec.
- Very weak AA battery.
- She is slow, and cumbersome with a large turning circle, slow rudder shift, and low top speed.
- Majority of her secondary battery fires AP with struggles to do damage to angled targets.
- Tall flat sides make her vulnerable to citadels from broadside targets.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Musashi are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1

Upgrade Slot 1 provides players with the first option in choosing a desired role. Typically, Main Armaments Modification 1 is recommended to provide additional survivability to the main battery, but players who desire to specialize in the secondary or anti-aircraft armament should choose Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 .
Upgrade Slot 3 allows for further specialization. Generally, Aiming Systems Modification 1 is recommended because it reduces shell dispersion of the main and secondary armaments. To increase the effectiveness of the anti-aircraft armament, mount AA Guns Modification 2 (). Players wishing to specialize for secondaries should mount Secondary Battery Modification 1 ().
Upgrade Slot 6 gives players options to finalize their build. For gunnery, mount Main Battery Modification 3 to decrease the reload time of the main battery. Template:AA Guns Modification 3 should be mounted for AA duties to increase the DPS of AA guns. Players wishing to increase the effectiveness of the secondaries should mount Secondary Battery Modification 3 ().
