However, these guns make her a serious threat to the heavily-armored American dreadnoughts that were tough nuts to crack with only 14-inch guns, and she can also easily maul higher tier battleships that are not too careful around her.

The number of guns she carries is a drastic reduction from the broadside of Fuso, and their slower reload and narrower spread means that aiming properly is critical to success. Her guns change from the 14-inch guns of Kongo and Fuso into 16.1-inch (410mm) guns she carries in four dual mount turrets, and her handling is quite impressive for a dreadnought, enabling her to be a functional firing platform and ship of the line.
