I used fxp roughly half a year ago :Smile_great:. There was no coal and there were no other fxp ships to chose from (aside from Nelson which I don't really care about and I already had Missouri). Noting like slinging 3x3 shells of pure FU towards the enemy :etc_red_button::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::cap_win::etc_swear::fish_boom:

Musashi ( and Yamato!) =  MAJESTIC BATTLESHIP!! When I am "out" myself (sunk) then I often watch my teammates performing while I myself enjoy a drink & a smoke; Musashi (and Yamato) are amazing to watch! Great ships (+ incredibly dangerous ships...so better avoid coming in front of Mushashi locked & loaded barrels). If I would have ,say, 750K free XP...ahhh...well it would take me 0,00001 second to decide to get the Mushashi(!!), for sure

You can get it for free with coal in the arsenal, freexping it is so 0.7.5!!

For some reason the guns have all of a sudden become really annoying, I fire salvos at ships broadside and now it seems most of my shots either undershoot or overshoot the target?

 

Anyone else having this kind of problem?

 

Whats the difference between aiming with a Yamato or Musashi and aiming with other ships like the GK or Republique?

I am close to freexp it. Coal takes too long. 611k xp so far. What build do u use for it? Any1 tried secondary? Yamato has strong secondaries, musa being a baby brother should have strong secondaries as well...

Perhaps best to send a bug report to WG or something, because it sounds like a bug.

I'm using a basic BB build for Musashi.

I haven't tried secondaries on either Yamato sister.

 

I'd say go PT, EM, SI and CE. After that you could go with FP and AD. Rest is up to you.

I'm using Yamamoto on either of the Yamatos.

But how do you find the accuracy of the guns given the shells are heavier? Are you hitting less on average?

Regret buying this ship for free exp and that was by spending doubloons. If you have Yamato don't go for her. That is my advice. Better wait for smth better.

Finaly got her today. Played some games but i have to learn her still. Musashi is brand new ballgame for me. But raw firepower amazed me. Even yamatos hate when i train guns on them. Cruisers just vaporize no matter how they angle. U just have to match aim to their angle. Oneshoted dm bow on with half hp. Just brutal. She does drag me to fight from mid to long range. I never liked that playstyle but musashi can deal consistend dmg on all ranges. And i find guns different with some weird high arcs but they land very heavy. She was worth the xp imo.

taken with coal in the arsenal, good ship, good money-printer.

 

It's a squint Yamato :D 

worse dispersion than the big sister and no AA.

 

despite everything, it's fun to play, especially in tier 9-7 match

I am trying to gather COAL to have my Mushashi.

Any sugestions of modules? I can see that has a bit less accurate guns that Izumo but much worst AA defence than both Izumo (95 points) or Yamato (85 points).

What is best to install?

Got her for FreeXP a few weeks back. I love her. 

 

I haven't played the IJN BB line a lot -- only have done the tree down to Fuso. But the Musashi is a thoroughly satisfying ship, with all those classic old-school BB qualities -- strong guns, requires (and rewards) good angling.

 

I'm running the spotting aircraft upgrade in slot 1. It feels like it gives a good return to investment, since Musashi gets a buffed action time for the spotting plane anyway.

 

One huge caveat -- I'm kind of dreading playing her if the CV rework ends up making high-tier CV's more common. 

 

PS. the thread title is ambiguous -- are we appreciating the Musashi or the people who love her?

Boosting the AA with modules will make it go from crap to almost crap. I swapped the spotterplane for a fighter (to panic the airstrike), and that works. Apart from that: standard tanky-BB build.

Since playing her a bit more I have now got used to the guns and boy can she delete ships ;). It so bad you almost feel sorry for the guy on the other end of those 460s....

Probably one of the simplest ships in game in terms of gameplay. 

 

Guns are not consistent, but when RNGesus smiles at you, it is a beast. Not regretting getting it....

The strange thing is that Izumo 3rd hull with my Yamato same Captain has 95 AA points (that are worst in action than 81 Gneisenau AA points in term of result) and Yamato has 85 AApoints. NO AA upgrade.

Mushashi seams to have atleast similar to Izumo's AA equipment ... Anyway thanks for the advice.
