![]() ![]() ![]() IJN AP isn't actually that special as a shell (compared to German improved damage, USN and RN improved pen angles, Soviet penetration), but it's mostly due to the characteristics of the rest of the ship,įurutaka overmatches same tier cruiser bows, so AP is often more used than HE.Īoba and Myoko should note that at their tiers, RN cruisers can still be overmatched by 203 mm guns. Overall if you take a positive mindset, she's a great ship that you can learn a lot from and an example of balancing done right.Īll cruisers can be punishing to play, not many of them have the same sort of punch and concealment that Atago has.Just as a note, while the IJN cruisers get improved HE damage and fire chance but not AP, for general usage, any ship from Furutaka and up benefits a lot from knowing when to use which type of ammo. She doesn't have the 17km+ range some T8s can get though. ![]() ![]() If you do make a mistake she also has a heal to give you some leeway. Luckily, Atago while being a bit squishy, has excellent concealment and good rudder response. All cruisers will punish you if you make mistakes in these areas but IJN at higher tiers have less HP and thus punish mistakes. Particularly with IJN Cruisers, more than any others you need to be able to abuse concealment AND do WASD. WASD hax refers to the W A S and D keys and is basically jargon for good players who know how to time their throttle control and rudder to avoid incoming shells. Sometimes this is 1 salvo, sometimes it's 10.Īs you get better you can push the number of salvos higher because you'll know how much more incoming fire you can avoid using 'WASD hax'. This is where you shoot from concealment when safe to do so and then hold your fire before you get focused and go back to being hidden. So the trick is to do what we call 'abusing concealment'. It's not easy, but I'm enjoying the different style to the BBs. Lol - ya, the minute a broadside is shown -> BOOM! ![]()
