Musashi also carried thirty-six 25-millimetre (1 in) Type 96 light anti-aircraft (AA) guns in triple-gun mounts, all mounted on the superstructure. Heavy anti-aircraft defence was provided by a dozen 40-calibre 127-millimetre (5 in) Type 89 dual-purpose guns in six twin turrets, three on each side of the superstructure. These had become available once the Mogami-class cruisers were rearmed with 20.3-centimetre (8.0 in) guns.
The ship's secondary battery consisted of twelve 60-calibre 15.5-centimetre 3rd Year Type guns mounted in four triple turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure and one on each side amidships. The guns had a rate of fire of 1.5 to 2 rounds per minute. Musashi's main battery consisted of nine 45-calibre 46-centimetre Type 94 guns mounted in three triple gun turrets, numbered from front to rear. So i went to Wiki and had a look and this is what i found. the tier 9 Al Sov Rossiya 80,900 (35% torpedo damage reduction)įrankly the Musashi is far too strong to be considered a tier 9 ship, you might as well allow a Yamato to compete against the tier 8 and 9 ships in ranked because for all intents and purposes they are the same ship.Finally got myself this monster, i love how it sits docks at range just Citadels everything =)Īnd i kept wondering about the lack of AA on Musashi, given the fact that Musashi compared to her sister ship Yamato came one year later and thus newer, why did they reduce the AA suit? the tier 9 Kearsage 84,300 (24% torpedo damage reduction) the tier 9 Pommern has 81,400 hit points (32% damage reduction) - this is supposed to be a tanky battleship for brawling but its materially weaker than the Musashi and is largely ineffective in battles against the Musashi Wanted to ask why the Musashi is allowed in ranked (currently for tier 8-9 ships) when it is essentially a clone of the Tier 10 Yamato with the same guns, hit points*, 55% torpedo damage reduction and armour, the only difference appears to be slightly less accuracy. Musashi can also over match a lot of most ships armour in ranked against tier 8 and 9 ships because it is competing against tier 8 and 9 instead of Tier 10 which frankly is what the Yamato/Musashi was designed to fight.Īt 97,300 hit points (55% torpedo damage reduction) the tier 9 Musashi actually has 100 extra hit points above the tier 10 Yamato at 97,200 (also 55% torpedo damage reduction)īy contrast other Tier 9 premium Battleships:
