Analysis

Priority:

Kai: High

She is easy to obtain and has a low remodel level which makes her a good aviation battleship for newer players. She functions just fine as a seaplane fighter carrier for taking air superiority in maps where carriers are restricted. However, her low firepower means she underperforms in combat compared to other battleships.

Kai Ni: Medium

Her Kai Ni gives her a significant boost to her firepower that brings her closer to the other battleships. Though she is still on the low side compared to the other slow battleships. She does gain a huge improvement to her slot distribution since she now has a single large slot that allows her to carry seaplane bombers with a lot less risk that the slot will be emptied. The size of her bottom slot means that she'll also have decent airstrike power against soft targets. She does make a good stopgap aviation battleship until you get Ise to Kai Ni, which will take a while and cost a lot.

↑ Technically true since the preceeding Kawachi-class were classified as 'dreadnoughts' and not 'super dreadnoughts' by the IJN.
↑ She was sunk at the Battle of Surigao Strait before she could reach Leyte Gulf.
↑ She's saying her feelings towards you are still budding. Since '青い' can mean both 'blue' and 'unripened'.
↑ She was supposedly sunk by a magazine detonation.
↑ Turrets No.3 & 4 were mounted amidships along the ship's centerline, they had restricted firing arcs, & forced the boiler rooms to be placed between them non-ideally & with limited space. This required extra insulation & air conditioning in the magazines of turrets No.3 & 4 to protect them from the boiler rooms' heat.
↑ She had two modernisations done.
↑ Shared with Supply before Kai.
↑ Yamashiro likewise had two modernisations done.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ The Ise-class were built as an improved version of the Fusou-class and improved upon many of the flaws that became apparent with the Fusou-class.
↑ Referring to the Sourthern Force under Vice Admirals Nishimura Shoji and Shima Kiyohide at the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
↑ Because of the two turrets admidships, design sacrifices had to be made with the engine rooms and armour admidships.
↑ Shortly before sinking, a torpedo caused an oil fire.
↑ After she was torpedoed by the USS Melvin at Surigao, she fell out of formation and eventually sunk.

Notes

She is required by quest A17 and the Nishimura Fleet and New Nishimura Fleet quests (A22, A44, B14, and B33.

Trivia

She takes her name from an ancient name for Japan.
- 扶桑 (fusou) sounds similar to 不幸 (fukou) or 'misfortune', & 不相応 (fusouou) or 'misplaced' or 'unsuitable'.
Japan's first Super-Dreadnought and the first to be completely indigenous as opposed to the, at the time, British-designed Kongou-class battlecruisers.
Her Aviation Battleship remodel is based off a plan for the Fusou-class after the carrier losses at the Battle of Midway. However, it was executed on the Ise-class instead.
Sunk, by possibly USS Melvin, during night battle in the Battle of Surigao Strait, October 25th, 1944.
- There is a conflict in the accounts of her sinking:
  1. Torpedoes caused progressive flooding, upending and capsizing her within forty minutes.
  2. Torpedoes struck a magazine, causing a spectacular explosion and splitting in two with each half remaining afloat and burning for an hour. This seems to be increasingly discounted.
Received Kai Ni on October 24th, 2014
