That’s because despite being classified as a battleship, it can go as fast as 30 knots (59 km/h), thanks to the turbines being able to generate a power output of 136,000 hp. Just because it’s open to high-altitude attacks doesn’t mean it’s a big sitting duck. However, the ship remains weak against high-altitude attacks. This many guns on the ship make it difficult for smaller vessels to get too close. That means an extra six-twin 5’’ (127 mm) dual-purpose cannons along with the 100 25-mm AA cannons. Not only that, since this ship will join the game in its 1944 configuration, both the dual-purpose and anti-aircraft arsenal have been bolstered. In addition to the already impressive arsenal, the Kongō also has a rather expansive suite of dual-purpose weapons. Because of this, the Kongō can take on even the most heavily armed and armored battleships that other nations have to offer. This powerful primary battery is complemented by a secondary arsenal which has eight 6’’(152 mm) cannons mounted in four casemates on either side of the ship’s hull and positioned just above the main armor belt. What makes the Kongō impressive are the eight massive 14’’ (356 mm) cannons that have been split between four twin turrets.
