Daisen Commemorative Flag

Every year, the oldest Buddhist temple on the slope of the sacred mountain Daisen in Japan hosts the summer festival to honour the spirits of ancestors Obon Festival. During the festival, the path to the temple is lit by wagasa, Japanese traditional paper umbrellas that have become a recognizable symbol of this country.

 

Key Features

Daisen is distinguished by her few but accurate main battery guns. The ship’s armament is also represented by torpedo tubes with a high range and torpedo damage. The battleship has a very high speed, but a large turning circle.
The consumables arsenal of the ship is represented by the Damage Control Party, a Repair Party which restores an increased number of HP per second, as well as the choice between a Fighter or a Spotter with a significantly increased operating time.
Daisen has poor armour for a Tier IX battleship and large dimensions, which make the optimal gameplay happen at medium-long range. At the same time, her good speed allows, if necessary, to change flanks or dictate range of engagement.
