Pros: Monster HP pool, excellent distributed armor scheme, powerful torpedo bulge As it stands, it only merits a “Poor”. I’m tempted to write this off as Wargaming just forgetting to fix something from the Concealment rework, but given that WeeGee has done nothing to fix it over the time span from then until now, and they have not stated that they will do anything, it seems like it will be the fault of Japanese designers for sticking Nelson’s column and a pagoda onto what is otherwise a fantastic warship. 5)In a tier 6(and even tier 7) matches tbh it's a flat out bully. Heresy! it is not a pretty sightEveryone seems to be making a huge deal out of HE citadel hits, but don't they still only do the listed max damage?I've had several of them when chucking HE, and as far as actual damage went, it was still inferior to APEveryone seems to be making a huge deal out of HE citadel hits, but don't they still only do the listed max damage?I've had several of them when chucking HE, and as far as actual damage went, it was still inferior to APThe 10% is enticing.. and probably due to the nature of the Fuso worthwhile - although the 2500 is so tempting to just skip 4)It's a tankier ship than it gets credit for.

Also, Fuso’s gun arcs are very inconvenient, having to show full broadside to get all 12 guns on target, due to the fact that, unlike all the other 12 gun BBs at Tier 6, which have triple turrets ( Normandie has quadruple turrets, being the only exception ), Fuso uses the same dual turrets from Kongo. START 1000th AND FINISH 1st! I can deal with the extra reload time, I want my turrets to be able to track a DD coming in close.BBs make XP like no tomorrow. Because of the turret layout you can fight 2 target simultaneously and you have accurate and fast loading guns (28 sec). 2)It uptiers better than most other tier 6 ships. This is the same as or very close to the stock detection radius of some Tier 7 and 8 battleships, such as Bismarck and Amagi, which is, to say the least, absolutely embarrasing. She is known for her accuracy, long range, and massive detection, she embodies the motto "Land of the Rising Sun" by being just as easily seen as the sun itself. (not the broadside to broadside brawl but in sense of maneuvering close combat.) The Bourgogne review will come tonight at around 6:00 or so, and I will finally ( FINALLY ) get down to doing another comparison test, and it will be Budyonny and La Galissoniere.
Also, the Bon Jovi review comes tonight as well. A favorite all-time ship, and still a monster in the righ I think this would be livable if not for the AWFUL gun range. She has so much potential, but it’s held back by the fact that she’s a huge warship and cannot hide. I have no idea why people keep hiding in the back with it. it has a 30 second reload no? Now it's 27 GL with the fuso, I'm not even bothering after how bad the turrets are since WG broke another IJN ship.I prefer the stock guns, turret responsiveness to agile targets is more important. The one thing she has going for her here is the fact that her aerial detection radius is quite small, at around 9 kilometers. Cons: Largest surface detection radius in the game You need to play a total of 10 battles to post in this section. A .1 rof increase doesn't seem worth 2500XP coupled with a longer turret rotation time. Then again, it’s not like it’s hard to position her… [WDS] Plus most of those guys are horrible BB fighters. BBs make XP like no tomorrow. Stealth for a fighting BB is unimportant because once you open fire you can't hide anymore and you don't have the speed to pull out of visual range. Some cruisers have to play that way, BBs don't. Fuso Guns. Fuso is a perfectly OK slugging BB. 3)The range of course. Sniper battleships aren’t a new thing.
I want to move on from this, but I still have to do it, so whatever. Cons: Distributed armor equals terrible citadel protection, massive target Pros: Relatively tight turning radius, acceptable speed, decent rudder shift. Get Dunked on Sniper battleships aren’t a new thing. In reality, even so they have a good score, most of the time they don't do anything match deciding. Regardless, this Japanese superdreadnought is still one of the original butt-kicking machines that ruled the seas, and of course, we need to know whether or not it still performs as it did all those years ago. It isn't the best armored T6 BB but it isn't bad either. This puts the Fuso in a rather awkward situation where it’s kind of good, but kind of bad, with her 24.5 knots of speed, 740 meter radius, and a rudder shift time of 14.9 seconds. There’s no question as to who is the best long range BB at Tier 6. Honestly the bad turret arrangement hurts it more than the armor does. Would like to add that Fuso, along with Normandie and Izmail to a certain degree, benefits alot from the lack of any large superstructure, meaning most HE will shatter. Fuso does have AA, but it’s terrible. Her base detection radius is 18.9 kilometers, and because she’s Tier 6, she does not have access to the 5th upgrade slot, which means that she can only minimize her surface detection radius to a still massive 16.5 kilometers. i don't consider it a sniper at all, sure it can shoot along way, and with 12 guns you stand an ok chance of hitting but too often your shot can just straddle the target at long range.
(not the broadside to broadside brawl but in sense of maneuvering close combat.) It’s kind of hard to take down Fuso, but at the same time, it’s incredibly easy to take it down as well. Is there any point in upgrading the Fuso to the second tier of armament? You'd be surprised. You need to play a total of 5 battles to post in this section. Fuso’s 12 356mm/45 41st Year Type rifles lance out to 21.8km, which puts her in the company of some Tier 10 battleships in terms of striking range, and she’s capable of putting 12 shells into the air every 28 seconds as well, which makes her a ferocious long range bombardment platform, and let’s not forget the excellent IJN BB dispersion curve, lest we look like total idiots.
