Description
The Fuso-class, IJN Fuso, 1944 (扶桑, namesake: classical name for Japan) is a rank VI Japanese battleship with a battle rating of 7.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Fire and Ice".
Commissioned in 1915, Fusō played no role during WWI. She was modernized in 1930–1935 and again in 1937–1941, with improvements to her armor and propulsion machinery and her iconic rebuilt superstructure in the pagoda mast style. She appears in War Thunder in her 1944 modernization, offering plenty of onboard anti-air which will shred any plane at medium-close range due to the sheer amount of guns (8 x 127 mm; 89 x 25 mm; 10 x 13.2 mm).
General info
Survivability and armour
Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.

Anti-aircraft armament
An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.
Usage in battles
Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Effective guns
- Effective anti-air suite
- Adequate armour that can absorb damage
- Large crew complement
Cons:
- Long reload time on main batteries
- Slow cruise speed
- Extremely long turn time
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
