Izumo’s 2.0 sigma makes up for it a bit, but not enough. I know you are largely a co-op player and, having played a good amount of co-op myself, I know the bots do not keep the range open at all and the short range accuracy of IJN BBs is quite poor. IJN BB accuracy is quite good….at long range. Their muzzle velocity is significantly higher and their penetration is much higher, almost as much as Musashi’s 460mm guns at some ranges. Remember, Izumo has 410mm 50 caliber guns rather than the 410mm 45 caliber guns found on lower tier IJN BBs. I have also kept their stats recorded (being careful to separate existing Yamato stats).

It's better than the ITL T9 BB's as their guns suck even worse but that is where for me the 'it's better than' examples end. i played roughly 250 games in Yamato and 250 games in Musashi, side by side, since Musashi came out. So when you add the horrible turret layout of Izumo to how much I dislike IJN 410MM guns it equals a ship I still dislike immensely even with the buffs.

I know others love them but again it is just my experience with them. They just do not work for me with bad accuracy and bad performance. But to be fair I do not like the IJN 410MM guns in this game (I seem to do ok in Ashitaka and Mutsu for some strange reason but nothing else).
