Mikasa hands out up to 20% more firepower and reload to Sakura Empire ships when she's flagship, and separately, firing her main guns gives up to a 60% chance to boost any battlecruiser or battleship's damage by 20%, regardless of faction. She can also swap her anti-air gear for a second secondary gun, trading air defense for stronger suicide-boat defense and more equipment-driven damage.

Every stat besides reload sits near the bottom for a battleship though, so she leans entirely on her skills to be worth running.

Mikasa's black uniform likely references her as-completed livery in 1902, where she had a black-and-white color scheme (her hull and funnels were black, but there were three identification stripes painted on her funnels and her superstructure were all in white).

However, during the Russo-Japanese War and in her preserved state, she was in a darker all-grey scheme.

The Z-flag armband is a reference to the Zulu signal hoisted by Mikasa shortly before the climactic Battle of Tsushima.

It was Tōgō's concise manner of stating "The Empire's fate depends on the result of this battle, let every man do his utmost duty" in the same way Horatio Nelson had done before Trafalgar 100 years earlier.

The "Style of the Sakura Capital" is strongly reminiscent of popular depictions of Akiyama Saneyuki, Tōgō's chief strategist and a staff officer aboard Mikasa.

However, it could also just simply be a shipgirl adaptation of contemporary IJN uniform with aiguillettes.
