  • Help with Fuso please

Heh, I've been posting a lot in IJN recently.

Anyway, here goes.

So I have my crew, lvl 82 BO + gunners VE, 4 Engies lvl 74 BVE, 4 reps VE lvls 75-80. I usually use my B65 (PBB xp rates and space for scout) but also my Nagato (no scout so I can train all supports... I know, don't kill me). I was thinking I want to spice up my grind a little. I figured I would re-buy a Fuso and mess around with it.

I remeber I hated it at-level (hence why I own a B65) but my crew was really bad back then. Now I feel I've had a bit of practice and a decent crew, I want to see what all the Fuss-o is about (see what I did there? =P)

I want to run it with 16" twins because I want a slice of that legendary firepower, this means I'll be hitting 39 knots OH (think that's what it does with this setup). I'll be using the same crew so slightly above level, 4/4 supports split.

I really want some more in-depth tips on how to use it. Please don't say "rush when the enemy is blind then run away" because I know this already but it's a pretty vague description. I'd like some more detailed advice from the veterans amongst you who use the Fuso, like how to know when the enemy is blind, where in the battle line I should be (in front, behind, alone, in a group?), which ships to rush and which to avoid etc.

I feel this ship is a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of the playstyle I like but I want to learn how to rush and I want to learn how to be good in a Fuso.

Sorry for the long post, if you put up with reading it then I'm all ears to your advice.

I'm sure both of them pop smoke too.


more like, I pop smoke to rush and they use it to retreat =P

I find easier to hang in the middle of the line, not north or south, its not scouted as much and you can get decent attack from lower rushing ships, also BB3s like to rush middle should give a fair fight and increase chances of getting higher attack, and more kills

hey, just wanted to bump this and say thanks again for all your advice. I've been having a lot of fun in my Fuso recently, 50k games not unusual for me which is a big boost as before I thought 20k was impressive. Also bumping so that others may notice the thread and pickup some good advice!

Use the second set of 16" not the first

my gunners can't use them yet. But don't they have less range? (going by the chart in the "old data" section, or is that out of date?)

Use the level 79 16", Yes they will have less range, But amazing firepower.

level 79 is the first set Ds. Second set Ds are at lvl 84. The second set has less range than the first, correct?

My question was between the two sets of 16", not between 14" and 16", I know 14"L has more range but much less damage.

sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help =)

As far as I am aware, the second set is still useless.

They don't know what they are talking about?

Honestly, the best guns for all the BB's (Ise and Fuso are the same) can be seen in my guide.
