Plunging fire

Created by
Synchros entity
CategorySniper
DescriptionAs she is a less aromored than her alternative battleships, i found she is very well suited as a passive battleship. Her reduced AP makes her difficult to citadel just about any BB, so if you see this, you'll know she hardly overpens too. So she is very capable of dev striking cruisers, and dishing out heavy damage to battleships with regular penetrations from long range where she may take advantage of BB plunging fire. A specialty to the Japanese battleships.
