54% but it is a collective rate and I don't think it's important. In ARP Haruna my WR is 100%. :)

[Ronchabale]

Used free XP,

Real fun T9 ship, the guns mmm..

Musashi by night!  Ocean & Mt. Fuji

Can't come to grips with this ship, after my first 2 decent matches my teams have been full of rush dying bots and the guns seem rather inaccurate and underwhelming.  Yamato seems more consistent.  Maybe had few round of bad rng and horrible MM luck? Dunno...

[almitov]

I have a question - do you think there is a point in getting Moosa when I have Yamato with premium camo? I mean how often does Musashi get matched to be top tier?

I don't need the credits but having a Yama in T7 match sounds like a lot of sealclubbing action... and I love it :D

There is no point. Most of the time you will play in a tier 10 matches and Yamato is a better ship. You better save your resources or freeXP for another ship with a different play style.

Some say that Musashi gameplay is boring and stale. Well if one positions himself so that he gets to shoot and gets to be shot back also I think then gameplay is very fun and effective (and spectacular) for the whole team even if u are sitting angled and creeping slowly in one spot.

 

Mighty Musa can take a lot of damage before going down and dish out some too. Actually most fun for me has been looking at the after action reports spotting, potential and received damage sections. I constantly have games where I spot a lot of damage for my team, I think record was 76k spotted. Like I can´t get those kind of numbers easy at all in a DD for crying out loud. I usually end up very dead but what the hell that´s the whole point anyway. If I wanna only hide and survive I go play Cleveland and hug islands. I wonder why that kind of playstyle isn´t called stale if Musashi is.

I agree, but what can you do if your team either leaves you alone and you try to slumber away or all your flank decides to rush die? :)

Yesterday our Hakuryu decided to head into a cap right at the start of the battle and then started blaming our team for not playing right.... He sunk in the very few minutes of the match, then enemy Hakuryu focused me while I was trying to provide artillery support.

Believe it or not my first Musashi game was a total disaster I got immediately into a tier10 CV game and enemy Midway spotted me and mauled me badly in 3 minutes. Soon my support  started to run away since half the enemy team was spotted in front of us and our dd got killed. I had no choice but charge and get killed.. So yea I know the feeling of not being able to slumber anywhere. However after that I decided to try to find enough team mates around me so that I can start pushing and drawing fire so they can shoot and it has kinda worked to my liking. As the repair costs are inherently low on tier9 premiums I kinda feel at ease being the damage sponge even though my damage may suffer while doing it and getting killed "too early". However I like it and I feel good doing it so Musashi playstyle is rewarding for me. :)

 

Also now I have no hurry to get Yamato, even it is better Musashi. I can get other ships for new experiences and enjoy the watered down Yamato-experience but a tier lower. Musashi is a beast when there is no carriers. ;)

Somehow I have only witnessed Scharnhorst dispersion so far and guns feel like firing blanks except for a couple of decent salvos of 10k each.  On the other hand, Yamato is a BEAST.

You'll notice the shells on the musashi seem to miss more on average at range, this I found due to the increased vertical dispersion. Perhaps mount the dispersion upgrade?

The upgrade has been on since 1st battle.

[TohtoriP]

Musashi has the biggest average damage of tier9 BBs. So those guns still work no matter how they seem to miss. I don´t know if it is only because you can shoot a lot more in a Musashi due to it´s survivability or that it just hits way harder than any other tier9 BB or that you shoot more at enemy BBs in a Musashi but still damage done is big.

I put a reload booster on mine, 26.4 secs :)

[Nishi_Kinuyo]

With the secondary changes on supertest for Musashi, how viable do you think she might be for a secondary build?

Change involves giving the 155mm cannons HE shells instead of AP.

Ask @DuneDreamer

 

I have started a secondary build, still assessing it though

I've been using a secondary build on Musashi up until recently but determined that I didn't make much damage with the secondaries so I swapped Secondary Battery Mod 2 with Aiming Systems Mod 1 for improved main battery accuracy. Now, the guns feel much more consistent.

 

Currently, I only have secondary build on two ships - Warspite and Republique.

Today I had my first time first hand taste of Yamato, and those guns. Been fighting them all along until today, I had learned to fear them, but, I'll just say, holy hell. By the 2nd battle I was already scoring 215k damage without breaking a sweat and just firing at whatever I had in front regardless of the angle.

Talk what you want about slightly worse vertical dispersion or bad AAA, because I simply don't care. Until today I thought Musashi was quite OP. From today after knowing first hand what those guns truly do and how brutally resillient that platform is, I fully believe this thing, and those guns, should've NEVER been released and has absolutely no place in Tier 9. It just doesn't belong there. At all.

And for the record...this thread to showoff results in a ship that doesn't belong in T9 at all is quite sad. But to each his own, if anyone feels like showing off good results in a ship that if you don't break 100k per battle you should really hire a brain, and for murdering stuff in one of the most broken, tier for tier, ships in the whole game, more power for him. But I personally find it part disgusting and part pathetic.

 

but have it your way guys. I already feel the downvotes coming, but facts are facts. You're showing off results in a ship that would be competitive as a T10 (except for the AAA, which 9 times out of 10 is a non factor) yet gets to shoot at Colorados. Think about it, and if you still feel like showing off, I'll take your downvote as a compliment.

why shouldn't I post in a thread where what I'm posting is relevant and on topic?. Just because you don't want to read/hear some hard truths?.

Doesn't work that way I'm afraid.
