 The battleship Haruna, the sistership of the legendary battleship Kong, comes into the game as the main naval prize of the War Thunder Summer Quest special event. Featuring an extremely powerful artillery and good sailing performance, this ship is ideal for an aggressive style of battle in groups of light and heavy cruisers. Haruna's main armament is 8 36 cm/45 Type 41 (356 mm) guns in four turrets. Captains have a choice of high-explosive, armor-piercing, and semi-armor-piercing shells that are capable of hitting any type of enemy ships at all ranges. The auxiliary calibers are 8x152mm cannons in casemates above the main armor belt - four guns per side. Twin 127mm universal guns are responsible for destroying light surface targets and aircraft at long distances, and the short-range air defense battery is really amazing - 118x25mm fast-firing cannons in triple, single and twin mounts create a blazing stream of fire that has not yet been seen in War Thunder!   The weaker area of Haruna is her comparatively low protection. The thickness of the main armor belt is 203mm, the overall hull protection is 152mm, the main gun turret and the wheelhouse are protected with 254mm armor. This is quite enough to protect from light cruiser fire, but the armor-piercing shots of battlecruisers and especially battleships are almost guaranteed to inflict damage on Harunas modules. On the other hand, the ship has fairly well-protected barbettes that can save a not too large crew, well-protected gun magazines and an almost impenetrable protection in the propeller group.   Due to not the best protection and excellent firepower, Haruna's place on the battlefield is at the very tip of the spear. Moving with a group of allied cruisers, the ship has a good chance of surviving battleship fire, inflicting massive damage on enemy cruisers. The good maximum speed of the battleship - up to 30,5 knots (56,5 km/h) - helps Haruna to stick with the group.   Battleship Haruna is one of the best bluewater ships in the game. Any War Thunder player will be able to get this excellent ship, which is important - for free! Enter the Summer Quest event and fight for the battleship Haruna, shes worth it! |
