Average IJN prems is the name of the game thanks to our Lord and Saviour; Musashi... Musashi used to be dreadful to play though, especially during the last days of the RTS CV. She only begins to stand out after WG neutered CVs high alpha per strike. And there have been numerous changes that buffed her indirectly like the MM fix, and no odd tier CVs.

I still find her garbage to play, same as Yamato. I don't like their static longer-range bias. I tend to play both more aggressively (sub-optimally). *shrugs* Musashi is objectively strong though, which was my point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[insert ship here] has radar on its model!" And I don't think Hizen will have AA that is comparable to Montana's. As bland as Montana is compared to the other T10 tech tree BBs, I'd pick Montana even though I've got Conqueror much earlier (I loath Conqueror's crappy accuracy).
