Review by Drake_The_Troll.

It feels like its been ages since I've reviewed a unique ship from the blitz pass. Almost checks history 2 months? When I joint reviewed ognevoi and silliwangi? Ouch.

My Stats

Games: 15

WR: 66%

DR: 2.5

Hyūga has a similar survivability spread to other IJN BBs, with great torpedo protection (13.5%) and thick deck armour which protects from long range plunging fire, but low health (39.1k) and an easy to hit citadel (10%) thats harshly punished by BBs and the odd T8 supercruiser that turns up

Score: 3/5

Manuverability

Hyūga has a wide turning circle (15s), slow speed (24kts) and poor acceleration (24s), thats suprisingly good at dodging attacks and let's her kite away from danger, but abysmal at actually getting anywhere or relocating. Her rudder is oddly manuverable though (4.7°/s), which is an oddity on a ship with a massive turning circle score: 2/5 main battery Hyūga is pretty similar to her cousin fuso, and is more or less identical to Ise, only with better stats than the former and +2 turrets and better angles than the latter. In terms of stats themselves, she, long range (13.1km) and fast loading guns (20s) that fire shells that blot out the sun. Shes also equipped with IJN AP that punches above its weight (1.4k), but her guns are extremely sluggish (4°/s) so she can struggle at close ranges and her HE isn't that great (1k, 12% fire chance), so hitting well armoured BBs like romas and bow-in sinOPs can be a slog sometimes

RPM- 36

AP DPM- 50.4k

HE DPM- 36k

score: 4/5

Secondaries

Your secondaries are pretty big (140mm), have decent range (6km) a high fire chance (4%) and do good damage (391). As a downside, they have a long reload (7.5s), and theyre casemates so they often get blown off at inopportune times. These secondaries are entirely defensive. You can't tank well enough to use them aggressively, and you don't particularly need to, but in the case you do need them they'll service you well Broadside RPM- 64 HE DPM- 25k EFPM- 2.56 score: 3/5 AA Its IJN AA. End of story. OK so its not quite but I've always wanted to say that but her long range AA damage is actually fairly decent for an IJN boat (110), meaning you'll take 1-2 with you, but will provide no meaningful defence. Also that armoured deck i mentioned? Its actually pretty good against AP bombers. You won't shatter anything like a sinOP or colorado, but you'll certainly avoid getting citadelled

score: 2/5

Concealment

Hyūga is a sneaky girl (12km), with a low detection that allows her to vanish after every shot then reappear with another salvo fully loaded. score: 4/5 Utility Hyūga has access to 2× RR3, cutting her reload down to just 10s when active. While in use you can just squeeze out 2 shots, though its much easier with the commander skill. Using this gives you access to a quick burst of firepower that can suprise people, especially in the future when she isnt available and people forget she exists

score: 4/5

Camo

Holy heck. They acknowledge the fuso pagoda meme enough to literally replace it with a japanese pagoda, plus a samurai statue. In terms of other details, I love the turret ends with their small dragons, and the black and brown is just chefs kiss Once again, art team hard carries this game

Conclusion

Hyūga plays almost identically to her cousin fuso, with the main difference being that one centre gun points backwards, and obviously her MBRB. Hyuga plays best as a cruiser killer, since you're basically garunteed to pen their armour, but she always racks up large numbers when playing her. To date I dont think I've gotten below 70k damage in my games.

overall score: 4/5

Will be added in the future.
