Settsu was the second of two Kawachi-class dreadnoughts built for the Imperial Japanese Navy after the Russo-Japanese War of the early 1900s. Being the first true dreadnought built by Japan, this formidable warship will also soon become the first battleship to arrive in the ranks of the IJN in War Thunder as part of the next major update New Power! Briefly: The first dreadnought type warship built by Japan, boasting excellent protection and firepower, but lackluster mobility and anti-air defence. Settsu, battleship, Japan, V rank. Pros Numerous large-calibre cannons Strong armor protection Torpedoes Cons Lacking AA protection  In War Thunder, Settsu will be the first battleship to arrive to the ranks of the Imperial Japanese Navy in War Thunder, following the release of the next major update. Similarly to other ships of this class, Settsu features extremely good protection and devastating firepower with the tradeoff being lackluster mobility. Settsus primary armament consists of twelve 12 (305 mm) cannons, split between six twin turrets, spread out in a hexagonal arrangement over the ships main deck.  In addition to the primary guns, Settsu also boasts a respectable secondary arsenal. The former consists of a total of ten 6 (152 mm) casemate guns on either side of the hull as well as eight 4.7 (120 mm) guns, of which half are situated in fore and aft casemates while the other half is located on the main deck. Lastly, Settsu is also outfitted with four 3 (80 mm) cannons comprising its anti-air battery as well as three 457 mm torpedo launchers; one on either side of the hull as well as one mounted on the ships stern. Being a battleship, it should come as no surprise that the Settsu is extremely well protected. In fact, Settsus armored belt goes up to 305 mm in thickness, while the turrets and conning tower are encased in 279 and 254 mm of steel, respectively. This brings Settsus protection in line with other ships of this type, meaning that captains will be well-protected from incoming enemy fire from all but the largest of calibers.  Naturally, in order to include all this tremendous firepower and armor on Settsus design, Japanese shipbuilders had to make some concessions in mobility. As a result, despite being powered by a 25,000 horsepower propulsion system, Settsu can only reach a rather modest top speed of 21 kts (39 km/h). This, coupled with the lacking anti-air protection leaves Settsu largely vulnerable against air attack and smaller vessels, performing a torpedo attack. Consequently, aspiring captains of this warship will need to plan their movements in advance and seek the company of allies if they wish to avoid being turned into an expensive man-made coral reef. Settsu will be arriving as part of the next major update coming to War Thunder and will become one of the first battleships available to captains in naval battles. In the meantime, keep a close watch on the news to stay updated on all the latest developments on the upcoming New Power update. Until then, calm seas captains! |
