Take it FWIW and understand I mean no offense by any of this.Īllright. The best advice I got from the guy who got me into this game was NOT to rush up the tech tree and NOT to get into Premium ships that were way higher in tiers than my actual skill level was. Best advice I can give for playing Atago is to park it until you play the standard ships in the game up to at least T7-T8 without skipping so many ships as you have ( haven't even played the ones you have much). You have obviously used free XP and premium ships to skip tiers/standard ships and to jump up to the higher tiers. Careful of TK's.īe very careful as you are playing at tiers you don't have the experience for. Torps have long range which is a blessing and curse. As someone else said the ship is not a great DD hunter as the guns take way too long to reload for that. Fast with crap for armor (Zao is actually pretty tough). The 1st thing I would suggest to improve at Atago is to realize it is a Japanese ship not a Russian one LOL (sorry had to).Ītago is like all the other IJN CA's. Set up so you get a consistent flow of damage. It's nice if its able, but tbh it's not worth it. I've lost many times to ships hitting me because I got greedy and wanted to dpm someone with another turret. You wanna have a narrow profile for return fire. This ship is VERY unforgiving of poor placement.Ĥ.) Don't be greedy, pretend that 3rd turret isn't there. You want to know how many ships are targeting you and where they are. The IJN cruiser line excels at napalm, but their ap is no joke.ģ.) Concealment is life. At long range you set fires.at close range you use AP. Use the training room and get a feel with the arcs.Ģ.) You can set more fires than a B29 raid on tyoko with the right set up. The torps are there for when you pass by a target or great for when you run away.

To get an arc you'll want to turn and use them.and then you die. Now that you know the basics, here are some fun facts.ġ.) Ignore the fact you have torpedoes. How do you atago is how you cruiser in general. So how do you play the Atago with no smoke generator?ītw suggestions on playing De Grasse and Perth would be nice as well. So, I got an Atago in a big chest (along with De Grasse and Perth), and had never played Russian CAs before, Only cruisers played is UK CLs up to emerald and Belfast.
