The Fusō is a powerful warship, but it has generally thin armour and, like all battleships, is vulnerable particularly to submarines. For those wanting some action with a battleship, the Ship Challenge mission [[Battlestations: Midway/Strike on the Monster|Strike on the Monster]] puts you in command of a Fusō-class. Believe it or not, not all battleships are made equal - the Fusō class has the most guns of any battleship in the game. It has four more than the Kongō and far more than the Yamato - making this ship deadly at long range. | The Fusō is a powerful warship, but it has generally thin armour and, like all battleships, is vulnerable particularly to submarines.

The Fusō has twin turrets pointing fore and a few pointing aft, but two of the guns are located in between the Fusō's towers, meaning that - like torpedoes on destroyers - have firing arcs only to port and starboard. Broadside engagements, therefore, are always favourable when captaining a Fusō-class. Conversely, you may want to turn and face a squadron of enemy planes directly to avoid a torpedo hit. The Fusō is also quite lacking in anti-aircraft armament. | The Fusō has twin turrets pointing fore and a few pointing aft, but two of the guns are located in between the Fusō's towers, meaning that - like torpedoes on destroyers - have firing arcs only to port and starboard.

Against smaller ships, your biggest advantage is your range, which you can use to slaughter most warships before they can get a bead on you. | Against smaller ships, your biggest advantage is your range, which you can use to slaughter most warships before they can get a bead on you. |
