This means a fully secondary specced Shiki will reach out to 11.65km, with an impressive rate of fire and can penetrate 30mm of armour. Secondaries- Shikishima has harugumo guns for secondaries, rather than shima guns like Yamato, with 7.7km base range. At 20km, the shells take only 17 seconds to reach the target, compared to 21 for Yamato. The penetration is some 5% better than Yama's beyond 15km and at long ranges, you can feel the difference.Īs for velocity, as befits such massive rounds, they suffer very little from air drag as they barrel their way to the enemy, making lead rather proportionate, and easy for long ranges. And when you connect, you connect for the big bucks. Fluffed salvo? No worries, another is on its way. That is frighteningly fast for guns of this calibre. Additional, on the flip side, a 27 sec reload, with MB mod 3, and say, 50% HP missing for adrenaline rush, gives you a 21 second reload.
You will fluff salvoes, but you will land 20-40k salvoes with alarming regularity. A poor grouping on 12 guns in annoying, on 6 guns it means one overpen. The problem with average dispersion is that 6 guns make it feel a lot worse. So, in practice, dispersion is average, neither hot nor cold. Well, dispersion is Yamato esque, meaning pretty good sigma, but poor vertical dispersion, and no access to a unique upgrade to tighten it up. Base reload is 27 seconds, with roughly 19k citadel alpha damage, quite a wallop. Shikishima has less DPM, but an arguably better alpha strike. We will begin with the obvious, the guns.
I have played over a thousand games in Yamato, some 30 in Shiki and over a hundred in Musa.Įssential, what you get, is a Yamato with four differences. Is this ship worth its price, or should you just play Yamato (or better still, the Musashi) instead?īefore we get into this, as a disclaimer, I am a BB main, having reached rank 1 in BBs several times, as well as having played in typhoon league. It seems WG took the Yama, threw on 510mm guns, and created an IJN version of the Gneisenau, at the exorbitant price tag of 32000 steel, as most people who play competitive queues have 3-4 steel ships.
The "other Yamato," the Shittyshima, the "big boom," are among the appelations of this misunderstood BB. Shikishima Review (or, how to be heard across the map)
