One of the draft designs for a battlecruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy that subsequently materialized as the ''[[Kongo]]'' class. The ship had a high speed and an impressive artillery. The arrangement of main turrets allowed her to fire a full broadside with all main battery guns. The known drawback of the ship's design was a very weak horizontal armor.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


''Ishizuchi'', while marketed as a Tier IV battleship, might properly be called a battlecruiser.  She features quite good maneuverability and speed for a battleship, but her armor simply cannot take the punishment of her contemporaries like ''[[Kaiser]]'' or ''[[Wyoming]]''.  At first glance, she heavily resembles the Tier V ''[[Kongo]]'', which is largely correct: ''Ishizuchi'' is essentially a ''[[Kongo]]'' prototype.  She '''looks''' a lot like her Tier V cousin, but that's where the similarities end.  ''Ishizuchi'' has a bearable rudder shift time of less than 13 seconds and a top speed bordering 28 knots, making her one of the faster battleships in the game. She also features five (5) twin-gun turrets containing decent 305mm guns.  Unfortunately, she suffers from absolutely terrible anti-aircraft defenses and almost no armor, meaning she must be careful and look at the map often for torpedo bombers and enemy battleships.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


Her 305mm armor-piercing rounds will also give players some headaches.  Don't expect them to reliably penetrate enemy battleships; hilariously, she is better off firing high explosive rounds at enemy battlewagons.  With a 32% base fire chance out of her HE shells, she can reliably light enemy battleships on fire and keep them burning for extended periods of time.  Thankfully, her AP rounds are perfectly serviceable against enemy cruisers, due to a low chance of overpenatrating the citadel.

The ''Ishizuchi'' (石鎚, named after Mount Ishizuchi) is based off of Vickers Design 472 which is the originally accepted design for the ''[[Kongo]]''-class of battlecruisers. After the rejection of B-39, B-40, and B-41 designs, Sir George Thurston redesigned the draft in 1911 in order to create Design 472 (known to the Japanese as B-46). This design was accepted and was laid down on January 11, 1911 in Barrow-in-Furness, Britain. The original design called for ten 305mm/45 guns mounted in five twin turrets, however, after being urged by Commander Kato Hirohasu and witnessing gun trials, the Japanese Navy made the decision on November 29, 1911 to alter the design to fit eight of the new 360mm/45 gun in four double turrets. These alterations were completed successfully and the ship was launched on May 18, 1912, and was christened ''[[Kongo]]''.
 
The name "Ishizuchi" was given to the design by Wargaming in accordance with the Imperial Japanese tradition to name battlecruisers after mountains.


===Historical Inaccuracies===
* No ship in the Imperial Japanese Navy was ever named ''Ishizuchi''.
