In the current form, this ship fails all across the board (it cant brawl, it can't snipe, it can't maneuver, it can't kill aircraft, and etc). The 18' shell is good, but by itself is not enough to warrant such massive nerfs to the accuracy, reload and AA. It feels like WG is placing waaaaaaaay too much emphasis on shell size for the purposes of balancing this ship out. Mistakes at high tiers are punished immediately, but this ship likely will not be able to do that, since with 1.8 sigma it probably won't even hit a side of a barn. Ships with similar accuracy values are virtually ineffective at ranges greater than 15km, and it looks like Musashi will be no different, except it sits at tier 9 which is quite unforgiving. 1.8 Sigma (with extended 35 second reload) basically turns this ship into a slow spray and pray.

Don't get me wrong, 18' guns facing tier 7s and 8s is going to hurt (at least theoretically) but if and ONLY if they can actually land a hit.

I was looking forward to this thing, but that dispersion coefficient is absolutely atrocious, especially at tier 9.
