Amagi — Japanese Tier VIII battleship.

A battlecruiser design with very powerful artillery. Though outclassed by other battleships of her time in terms of armor, Amagi was to a great extent superior to them in terms of speed.

Player Opinion

Performance

What can be said as the final gameplay deviation for the Japanese battleship branch, Amagi is one ship at her tier you might be impressed with. Sporting five dual mount turrets with each packing a pair of 410mm guns, Amagi is literally unmatched in terms of raw broadside weight despite being a reformatted battlecruiser although to be fair, her upgraded hull retrofits and reformats her into a fast battleship much like what happens to her battlecruiser colleague that had a reformat the Kongo. Her main batteries and fast speed can match or destroy any post-dreadnought battleship at high tiers, dominate dreadnoughts if she's the top tier by dealing heavy damage per salvo should they connect and as well as run down cruisers with her fast speed. However, despite the solid appearance and heavy broadside weight, Amagi can only take so much punishment before she breaks and its inadvisable to heavily invest in your armor or even prolonging shot per shot trading and the AA suite can only do so much to defend herself from aerial assaults.

Move in, fire off a heavy broadside and sail away to a new location to rinse and repeat, that is the Amagi.

Pros:

  • Heaviest broadside weight at her tier with ten 410mm guns in five dual mount turrets.
  • Fast speed.
  • Angling can bring about surprising bounces and/or mitigate heavy damage .
  • Good health pool.
  • Fairly accurate guns; combined with her broadside, one salvo can potentially destroy anything even up to Tier X.
  • Powerful secondary battery that can send out 110 shells per minute per side.
  • Absurd HE values.
  • Decent AA suite.
  • Final hull has an immense bulge.
  • Immense AP number stacking when hitting enemy broadsides.

Cons:

  • Rather underwhelming firing range of only 20km compared to her Tier VIII battleship colleagues, North Carolina and Bismarck.
  • Battlecruiser armor is still very vulnerable to battleships that catch her side.
  • Slow rudder shift combined with large turning radius will give you a hard time to maneuver against torpedoes.
  • Despite her secondary battery, she cannot duel battleships at close range because of her poor armor and maneuverability.
  • Main batteries often gets knocked out.
  • Rather high detection radius.
  • Decent AA but it is bubbled. Expect the planes to get close enough.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Amagi are as follows:


Upgrade Slot 1 provides two viable options. The first is Main Armaments Modification 1 -20% to the risk of main battery becoming incapacitated. / +50% to main battery survivability. / -20% to main battery repair time. / -20% to the risk of torpedo tubes becoming incapacitated. / +50% to torpedo tubes survivability. / -20% to torpedo tubes repair time., which increases the survivability and reduces repair time of the main armament. Players wishing to specialize in anti-aircraft (AA) duties should take the second option, Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 : +100% survivability to each.. This upgrade increases the survivability of AA and secondary battery mounts.

Upgrade Slot 3 provides options for specialization in certain roles. Aiming Systems Modification 1 : -7% main battery dispersion. / +20% torpedo tubes traverse speed. / +5% secondary battery firing range. / -5% secondary battery dispersion. is typically recommended for ship to ship combat. Players wishing to improve upon their secondary armament should mount Secondary Battery Modification 1 (: +20% secondary battery firing range. / -20% secondary battery dispersion.). Alternatively, AA Guns Modification 2 (OBSOLETE Replaced by Auxiliary Armaments Modification 2.) can be mounted to extend the firing range of the ship's anti-aircraft guns.

Upgrade Slot 5 provides two options. Concealment System Modification 1: -10% to detectability radius. / +5% to the dispersion of enemy shells fired at your ship. reduces ship detectability and increases dispersion of enemy shells fired at the player's ship. The second option is Target Acquisition System Modification 1 (OBSOLETE Replaced by Torpedo Lookout System). Players who enjoy brawling may find this upgrade useful, because it improves the acquisition range of ships and torpedoes. It also improves spotting range by 20%.

Commander Skills

Consumables

Amagi can equip the following consumables:

Mounting premium versions of these consumables is recommended to decrease their cooldown timers.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Amagi with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

As with all battleships, Amagi comes with 8 signal flag slots. The three most important flags are India Delta, Juliet Yankee Bissotwo and India Yankee; all of which will improve your surviveability. If the captain goes with the Secondary Build, the addition of Mike Yankee Soxisix will further improve the performance of Amagi’s secondaries. Another good signal flag to bring would be November Echo Setteseven, to give Amagi`s AA a slight further increase for self-protection.
