Her low DPS and only six flak clouds mean she can’t stop an aircraft carrier strike by herself. Hizen has poor long- and short-range AA DPS (116 and 335 respectively) with no mid-range AA aura. Her rudder shift time is decent at 17.1 seconds, and her turning circle is slightly better than average at 880 m. Hizen has average maneuverability characteristics, with a top speed of just 29.6 knots with the Sierra Mike signal flag. She also gets one less charge of her Repair Party consumable than most other Tier IX battleships.Īs a result of her armor layout, Hizen should play at medium to long ranges.
Her surface concealment is poor at 13.7 km and she has a smaller HP pool of 75,900, but her 37% torpedo damage reduction is high for her tier. At closer ranges, high caliber AP shells can still citadel her through this cheek even when she is otherwise angled. Her citadel is long and has the same ‘cheek’ weakness as other high tier Japanese battleships. Her armor belt is 356 mm thick and will bounce all AP shells when correctly angled. While this is enough to bounce most AP shells when angled, she is vulnerable to most HE shells. Her bow, stern, and midsection are 32 mm thick. Hizen’s hull is visibly similar to Izumo and Iwami, but has a weaker armor scheme. Hizen has good gun angles, and can fire all guns without showing too much side. Her turrets have a 180-degree turn time of 45 seconds. While she has more guns than Iwami, she has a much longer base reload time of 38 seconds. Hizens guns have good dispersion but a mediocre sigma of 1.7, meaning her shells will not always have tight groupings. Her HE shells have 30% fire chance and 68 mm of penetration.
She fires the same shells found on Iwami, with decent alpha damage, good velocity, and good penetration. They have a range of 20.3 km which can be further increased with the Spotter Plane consumable. Hizen carries twelve 410 mm guns in four triple turrets. Her high gun count and decent accuracy complement the traditional sniper play style of Japanese battleships. Hizen is a premium Japanese Tier IX battleship armed with twelve 410 mm guns.
