Chelatum (Hyuga)
When it comes to the 12-gun battleships of the R series, the captains must think of a bunch of "hypotension treatment instruments" of the VI and VII classes, although they have a large number of main guns, but the poor accuracy always makes them unable to play the real strength of these 12 main guns. With the world of warships 0.10.3 update, a new R-series gold battleship has joined the game, and she will rely on the blade in her hand to bring new vitality to the VII. class room.
Ship features
The Cheli (Hyuga) is an R-series 7-class gold coin battleship, which is based on an improved version of the R-series 6-class battleship Stingray (Fuso), which focuses on solving various flaws and irrationalities in the previous class of battleships.
These improvements and optimizations combined with the experience of naval warfare in World War I have made the Hinata (Hyuga) not much different from her "predecessors" in appearance, but has a more outstanding and balanced performance, which can be seen from her more symmetrical appearance. Compared to the appearance of the subsequent modified warships, this early type of claw (hyuga) looks more deterrent.
Firepower configuration
In terms of firepower, the Cheli (Hyuga) did not replace the superior main gun, so she had many similarities with the Silver Coin Line's Stingray (Fuso) in terms of main gun, not only the loading time was the same, but even the penetration, initial velocity and ignition rate of the shell were the same.
At first glance, the Cheli (Hyuga) has little advantage over other VII-class 356mm main gun battleships. However, in fact, the Cheli (Hyuga) is the player who can best use the power of the 12 356 main guns. This was mainly due to the excellent accuracy of the main gun of the Chelatium (Hyuga), whose sigma value jumped from 1.5 to 1.8 of the Stingray (Fuso). The accuracy of the main gun dispersion is visible to the naked eye, which is raised to a very comfortable level.

In addition to this, her rotation speed has also increased. Compared with the cervical spondylosis-like turret speed of the stingray (Fuso), the actual combat flexibility of the stingray (hyuga) is much higher, and it can get rid of the embarrassment of only being a long-distance trebuchet and enter the front-line battlefield for combat at the necessary moment.
Of course, this skill alone is obviously not enough, the biggest feature of the Cheli (Hyuga) is that she has the main cannon to reload consumables. After use, it can immediately reduce the loading time of the main gun group by 50%, and a round of 12 356mm shells cannot be solved? Then have another round!
However, captains need to note that with the commander's skill revision, the Cheli (Hyuga), like other battleships, cannot increase the number of consumables available outside the Great Sword. The only 3 main guns of the Cheli (Hyuga) should be used sparingly as a winning magic weapon. But fortunately, the consumable CD of Chelat (Hyuga) is very fast, even if one is not used well, it can make up one in a short period of time, with a certain fault tolerance rate. And when extremely high intensity fire output is required, the characteristics of short CDs can also allow the claw (hyuga) to shoot extremely shocking fire projections.
In terms of secondary guns, although the layout of the gun profile secondary guns was optimized, and the number of single-sided installations was as many as 8, the caliber of the secondary guns was not 152mm, but 140 auxiliary guns with R characteristics. The ignition efficiency is not bad, but its range is too close, and it can only work when it is close to the face of the enemy battleship.
Survivability
After talking about firepower, let's look at the survivability of the claw (hyuga). The first thing that catches the eye is her health volume of 60,700, which is the fourth most important of the VII-class battleships, behind Hood, Sinop and Shark (Nagato), ranking first in the echelon. The abundant amount of health brings more fault tolerance, so that you can be confident whether you are fighting at a distance or at close range.
At the same time as the amount of health is sufficient, the chelatum (hyuga) also has a fairly good armor structure. The head and tail of 26mm are not much to say, and the side 32mm super area lightning protection belt is a wall of sighs for the enemy, whether it is directly immune to the HE shells below the LEVEL VIII light patrol, or the swing angle flying large-caliber AP is quite easy to use. In addition, her 149mm topage, combined with the 35mm deck in the middle of the first half, formed a second fragmentation area, further enhancing the claw's (hyuga) resistance to direct injury to HE bullets. Even more frightening is the thickness of her second half deck is as high as 44mm, which overshadows many of her peers.
If the shell fails to stop those "misguided" AP shells, then the complex core structure inside the chelated (heliotropic) will also keep the shell out of the core area. First of all, the core area of the chelation (heliotrope) is flush water surface, if you want to break through in a non-water bullet way, you need to first break through a layer of 32mm lightning protection drum, then penetrate the main package up to 299mm thick, then pass through a layer of armor structure, and finally break through a layer of core area shell to really cause core damage to the claw (hyuga). And the armor structure of the shell of the last layer of the core area is very tricky, only the bottom part is slightly thinner, and the rest is 32-167mm of anti-rolling thickness, as long as the equivalent thickness is added to a little angle, it is avoided to be hit out of the core.
However, because the Cheli (Hyuga) uses an early hull, her anti-aircraft firepower is not strong, only 4 twin 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns, plus 10 twin 25mm cannons, which is better than the nearly naked air defense Tuna (Love Eagle) in the VII.-class battleships. And even if she has water combat protection, she can't resist the first wave of attacks of aircraft carriers, so the captains still have to rely more on their own air defense big brothers, and at the same time, they must be careful to avoid being targeted by enemy aircraft carriers
The Chelatium 's aircraft consumables were only fighter jets and could not be replaced by reconnaissance aircraft
Maneuverable and concealed
In terms of mobility, the cheli (hyuga) is only a little better than the stingray (Fuso), but with its armor and the speed of the main gun, the chelium (hyuga) can still get rid of the awkward positioning of the fixed turret. It only requires the captains to pay a little attention to their speed and rudder time, and make small-scale transitions on the battlefield like other VII.-class battleships.
And with the tall superstructure of the claw (heliotrope), the hidden data is more embarrassing. The 14.7km water surface is hidden, definitely a super lighthouse on the water. When exporting and transferring, the cheli (hyuga) will easily be lit by the enemy for a long time, at this time, you need the captains to accurately judge the situation, if you conclude that you are the battleship with the most sense of existence in the field, then you have to find a way to kill the point and run.
Accessories and extra points
As a VII.-class battleship, The Cheli (Hyuga) has only 4 upgrade slots, the idea is very simple, the first two slots select the 2-piece set necessary for the battleship, and then select the precision plug to further strengthen the dispersion, and finally choose a small rudder plug to optimize the steering performance, and a powerful battleship was born.
In terms of commander skills, since this is now the last version of the existence of dead eyes, considering the future game experience, it is recommended that captains directly point to the traditional survival flow skills.
summary
Overall, the Cheli (Hyuga) is a fully enhanced Stingray (Fuso), and its main highlight lies in the 12 1.8sigma 356mm main guns. While retaining the characteristics of the R series VI class battleships with high penetration depth, their accuracy has been greatly improved. If the weakening of 0.1 sigma was enough to make Rome fall from the altar, then the strengthening of the whole 0.3 sigma was enough to make the claw (heliotropic) leap to the first echelon with extremely exaggerated precision.
The chelated (hyuga) high-precision main gun definitely did not disappoint the captain when aimed at less maneuverable targets. However, the excessive accuracy also makes the output of the chelated (hyuga) more dependent on the captain's gunnery, especially when the enemy frequently makes large turns such as incision or excision, and the dense ballistic trajectory of the chelatum (hyuga) may make the enemy dodge all at a turn. Therefore, choosing the right target to attack is also an essential skill for chelating (hyuga).
