Other than these two things, Musashi also has a very high and easy to hit citadel. Put into context, all of that means that while Musashi is not inaccurate - she has the same dispersion value as Yamato, after all - her shell groupings simply won't be as tight, on average. There will always be outliers where shells go nowhere near a targeted ship, and even a ship with cataclysmically low sigma can have good accuracy as long as the dispersion value is similarly good. Simply put, the higher the sigma, the tighter the shell groupings. Sigma as a value only affects the shell groupings of a volley, causing them to trend towards being closer together as the value grows higher. While Yamato has the best sigma value in the game at 2.1, Musashi has only has a 1.8 value. Yamato’s biggest strength is her guns and this also holds true with Musashi, but with one major difference. Captains should still keep this downfall in mind, as positioning themselves next to a ship with strong AA could mean the difference between sinking or staying afloat while a carrier is in play. The severity of this weakness is somewhat mitigated by her astoundingly good torpedo belt - Musashi, like Yamato, has the joint best torpedo protection in the game. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the single largest threat to any Musashi captain will be an enemy aircraft carrier, as they can strike her with near impunity regardless of the tier of their planes. That is not to say that they are entirely similar however, as Musashi sacrifices two main things for her down-tiering.įirst and foremost, she takes a massive reduction to her anti-aircraft suite. The two play very similarly, and overall feel quite comparable. Both share key features such as their armor layout, health pool, stealth (or lack thereof), and speed. Everything considered, captains that have played Yamato will know what to expect from Musashi. Her AA suite is also severely lacking compared to powerhouses like the Missouri, Iowa, or Friedrich der Große. She retains the class's fearsome 18.1-inch guns, but sacrifices some general accuracy to do so. However, Musashi is a tier lower than her sister ship and somewhat weaker as a result.

As one might expect, the two share many commonalities.

Musashi is the sister ship to Tier X Japanese battleship Yamato. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's 'Actual AA DPS'.
