Aki SE 25 is still a Japanese Legendary battleship at heart: she exists to punish broadside mistakes, hold long firing lanes, and make enemy capital ships respect every turn they take. She is strongest when she plays as a patient anchor instead of forcing an early brawl just because she can hit hard.
She performs best on a side with clear crossfire potential, where her big guns can threaten multiple lanes without exposing her to every enemy battleship at once. Like the standard Aki, she wants time, angles, and enough room to kite or disengage once the enemy finally points everything back at her.
Her turning circle, rudder, and huge target profile mean bad map reads get punished hard, especially once enemy battleships and HE spammers know where she is. If you give broadside while relocating, you usually pay for it immediately.
Aki SE 25 is a Premium ship and not available to unlock in the Tech Tree. Acquisition path: Containers. Container chances are shown as the listed odds of receiving this exact ship, dividing grouped ship-pool odds across the resolved ships and including nested container paths when a crate can drop another crate.

Takeo Takagi is still the cleanest commander example here, with Nobutake Kondo as the safer alternative if you want more staying power. For inspirations, Andrew Cunningham remains the easy accuracy pick, and Paolo Di Revel is a strong reload example if you want to keep the pressure up without abandoning a proper long-range battleship setup.

Matches the in-game spec card.Same formula at the ship's max firing range (22.1 km), where the shell has slowed to 527.5 m/s: 1e-7 × 2574 × 1460^0.69 × 0.46^-1.07 × 527.5^1.38 = 514.7 mm.77 mm ≈ 460 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).floor(460 mm caliber / 14.3) = 32 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass. Wickes 102mm = 3, standard 152mm CL ~ 20, Iowa 406mm ~ 270, Yamato 460mm = 400, Incomparable 650mm = 550 (max). Larger value = bigger splash damage area when AP over-pens.All 6 barrels bear on the broadside.180 degrees / 4 deg/s traverse speed = 45 s.7,300 HE damage x 6 broadside guns = 43,800.14,800 AP damage x 6 broadside guns = 88,800.43,800 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 28 s base reload = 93,857.88,800 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 28 s base reload = 190,286.43,800 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 25.2 s installed reload (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10%) = 104,286.88,800 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 25.2 s installed reload (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10%) = 211,429.6 broadside guns x 60 / 28 s base reload = 12.9.6 broadside guns x 60 / 25.2 s installed Artillery reload = 14.3.6 HE shells x 60 / 28 s reload x 35% fire chance = 4.5.6 HE shells x 60 / 25.2 s installed reload x 35% fire chance = 5.Sum across every AA aura on this ship of (aura.continuous_damage x 3.5 x aura.hit_probability). Here: (73×3.5×0.75) + (2×3.5×0.85) + (15×3.5×0.85) + (23×3.5×0.85) + (30×3.5×0.85) + (14×3.5×0.85) + (20×3.5×0.75) + (20×3.5×0.75) = 547. Covers AA-only mounts plus dual-purpose secondaries (Bismarck 105mm, USN 5"/38 cruiser secondaries) and dual-purpose main batteries (Sumner-class 5"/38, Akizuki-line 100mm). Formula validated against in-game captures on California, Sumner, Manfred von Richthofen, Dante Alighieri (exact) and within +/-17% on the remaining verified ships.Longest-reaching aura across AA-only + dual-purpose auras.SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.5 km × 57 + 30 = 315 m.Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 6×2 127 mm (6/side) × 60/7.5 × 2100 = 100,800 + 6×2 127 mm (6/side) × 60/6 × 2100 = 126,000 + 2×3 155 mm (3/side) × 60/12 × 2600 = 39,000. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 2600 from the 155 mm family.Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 10% from the 155 mm family.Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 26 mm from the 155 mm family.Every custom exterior Aki SE 25 can equip, from in-game data.
