Tsurugi Change History
- Buffmain battery guns reload time25 → 24 s
- HE shell ballistic parameters changed. This will result in the flight trajectory becoming flatter, identical to that of the AP shells of the ship.
- turning radius970 → 890
- number of repair party consumables3 → 4
- Buffmain battery 180 degrees turn time45 → 36 s
- Improved accuracy parameters of main battery guns. Now they are identical to those of Azuma and Yoshino.

Overview
According to the Japanese Navy's new development plan, the projects of battleships and battlecruisers didn't differ much—battlecruisers featured the same speed as the Kii-class battleships. This went beyond the accepted Japanese naval tactics. To increase the speed and turn a project into a true battlecruiser, one of the main turrets could be sacrificed.
