Japanese premium Tier 4 battleship. it was once given out to all players for free as 2018 New Year gift.
One of the draft designs for a battlecruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy that subsequently materialized as the Kongo class. The Ishizuchi (石鎚, named after Mount Ishizuchi) is based off of Vickers Design 472 which is the originally accepted design for the Kongo-class of battlecruisers. After the rejection of B-39, B-40, and B-41 designs, Sir George Thurston redesigned the draft in 1911 in order to create Design 472 (known to the Japanese as B-46). This design was accepted and was laid down on January 11, 1911 in Barrow-in-Furness, Britain. The original design called for ten 305mm/45 guns mounted in five twin turrets, however, after being urged by Commander Kato Hirohasu and witnessing gun trials, the Japanese Navy made the decision on November 29, 1911 to alter the design to fit eight of the new 360mm/45 gun in four double turrets. These alterations were completed successfully and the ship was launched on May 18, 1912, and was christened Kongo.

* NecessaryDrawback: She has lower rate of fire for the main guns, despite esentially using the same guns as the other Japanese heavy cruisers. In addition, her turret placement still resembles Myoko's rather than Mogami's which made her No 3 turret sometimes hard to fire.

In fact she can put fish in the water faster that most destroyers of her tier. The effectiveness of this is limited by her pathetic arc though.

Japanese Tier 1 cruiser, available for free first time you log in to the game.
A light patrol gunboat designed for coastal operations. This gunboat was well-armed for her dimensions, including AA artillery. She was not armored and had low speed. ''Hashidate'' was authorized as part of the Circle Three Plan of 1937, and was laid down at ''Osaka Ironworks'' on 20 February 1939. She was launched 10 months later, 23 December 1939, and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy 30 June 1940.
She would serve most of her time as support for combat operations off of the coast of China, mainly in the 2nd China Expeditionary Fleet’s 15th Escort Group. At the start of Asia-Pacific War, ''Hashidate'' participated in "Operation C", the invasion of Hong Kong. Thereafter, she would remain based in the same city for most of the war. On 22 May 1944, ''Hashidate'' was sunk by the ''USS Picuda'' submarine in the South China Sea, while towing a crippled merchant passenger/cargo ship.

Japanese Destroyers are defined by the "stealth torpedo" strategy: Launching torpedos from outside of detection range to nail unaware captains. To do this, they possess some of the best concealment values in the game and long-range and high-damage torpedos. This comes at the cost of their guns, which tend to be accurate but fire and turn slowly.

The line branches into a mini-line of more well-rounded destroyers at tier 6. While these boats are still armed with great torpedoes (albeit less of them), their guns have somewhat improved turn time and reload.

Japanese cruisers have good mobility and concealment, but poor armor and AA defense. Their guns tend to be slow to turn, but have decent velocity and arcs and a high fire chance with HE. Their torpedos have similar characteristics: the torps themselves are comparable with IJN destroyers (aka they're really good) but have difficult-to-use firing arcs, mostly being at the aft of the ship.

Added DiffLines:
Japanese Battleships can be considered the "sniper" amongst battleships, as they possess the biggest and longest range guns with decent accuracy, and decent mobility to get into position. However, this comes at the cost of their defenses, with weaker armor and AA defense despite a high health pool. They also have the worst concealment in the game.
Added DiffLines:
Japanese CVs utilize more squads of fewer planes, with a focus on torpedo bombers. They are excellent at repeated strikes at ships, but are hurt much more if planes are shot down pre-strike and are hopeless 1v1 against American fighters. The ships themselves are stealthy and fast, allowing them to relocate as needed.
