A very fun unit (if slow...), but with two very solid gunnery attacks, armour 6 (which on occasion cheats a battleship , and lots of dice for Greek units. Also, however inferior the design is, her hex turret layout, older bridge, and camouflage present a beautiful ship :-)
She has been one of my favourites for a long time, especially when my collection was smaller and I had access to relatively few of the cards

Haguro is definitely one of the most broken units in the game so I guess that also makes it the most powerful for its class by default. Proof is that it was extremely difficult for the deck teams to create a card for another IJN heavy cruiser without really bad power creep.
I will nominate the H1K Emily. It is a pretty rare IJN build where I don't see at least one of those included. Tough and powerful in attack and SA.

I'll nominate the Short Sunderland Mk 1 for the PB category... Mines, Loiter, Defensive Armament, 4/7/1 A/V/H, with bombs and ASW all for a tidy 10 points? Yes, please!
