She has no access to aircraft carrier consumables, upgrades or skills to improve her air group. Ise's options are stupid simple and that's one of her drawbacks. So you get all of that nice, sniper battleship game play combined with some of the most broken CV elements? Yeah, there's a lot of potential here, even if her damage output suffers as a result. And that's not counting the times it will simply get you killed.įor veterans, there's a lot of wonderful finesse that having an air group provides, including being able to scout and spot for your team (which is all kinds of amazing). Most of these wrong times will simply compromise the efficiency of this ship's damage output but some of them will downright handicap your involvement in the match if not effectively remove you from it entirely. And there are a lot of wrong times to use her aircraft. I'll go into more detail about this down below, but the TL:DR is that there are right and wrong times to use Ise's aircraft. However, the two combined may be a bit much for some players, if only because one comes at the expense of the other and that's a bit of a trap. I'm a bit iffy on my skill floor rating, to be honest. Skill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / High / EXTREME

Skill Floor: Simple / Casual / CHALLENGING / Difficult I'll get into the specifics of the PROS and CONS of her aircraft down below in the Torpedo Bombers section rather than cluttering up this initial list.

Large turning circle radius for a tier VI battleship of 750m and a slow rate of turn. Her 356mm AP shells lack the ability to overmatch other battleships and higher tiered cruisers. Only eight 356mm guns with a 30 second reload, leading to poor damage output. Lots of shell traps thanks to her raised flight deck. She may launch an attack group of four torpedo planes every 2 minutes.Įxcellent range on her main battery guns with a reach of 21.4km.Įxcellent anti-aircraft firepower for a tier VI battleship.Īccess to an air wing of torpedo bombers, allowing her to scout and deal damage. Her stern-mounted X and Y turrets have been removed and the deck-space converted over to aircraft operations and anti-aircraft firepower. Quick Summary: An Ise-class battleship refit into a hybrid carrier. Please be aware that her performance may change in the future. To the best of my knowledge, the statistics discussed in this review are current as of patch 0.10.4. This ship was provided to me by Wargaming for review purposes at no cost to myself I did not pay to get access to her. The following is a review of Ise, the tier VI premium Japanese hybrid battleship-carrier.
