Shikishima — Japanese special premium Tier X battleship.
The plans for the Yamato-class battleships included the construction of eight ships before 1950. At the beginning of 1941, the program was adjusted: Based on intelligence data on the scale of construction of capital ships in the U.S., the leadership of the Japanese Navy decided to increase the number of battleships under construction. One of the ships was supposed to be built according to the design of the Yamato class, and all subsequent ones—according to an improved design with 510 mm main battery artillery. A six-gun variant with three main battery turrets had a standard displacement of 65,700 tons.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Highest per-shell alpha in the game.
- Rapid-firing secondary armament with a very good 7.7km base range, comparable to Großer Kurfürst
- Extremely good penetration with her armor-piercing shells.
- Good high explosive resistant armor.
- Good accuracy relative to her tech tree counterpart Yamato.
- Ability to overmatch 32mm plating, which is standard tier 8-10 battleship plating.
Cons:
- Low barrel count, with only 6 shells.
- Large citadel with a poor shape that makes her very susceptible to citadels from battleships.
- Low damage output due to lack of shells.
- Poor vertical dispersion, which causes shells to go over and under the target Shikishima is firing at.
- Excessive overpenetration at close range against most cruisers, leading to situations that could get the player killed.
