Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.

The start of the Pan-Asian tech tree, Chengan is best played at medium to long range. She is the smallest ship at her tier, and compensates for a lack of armor with agility and concealment. Her small size and fast rudder shift make her a difficult target to hit. When under fire, captains should use evasive maneuvers such as weaving and try to maintain 7 to 8 kilometers of distance between themselves and the enemy.

If Chengan finds herself in a close-range engagement, she will struggle to penetrate the citadel armor belt of Erie, Hashidate, and Hermelin. If this occurs, aim for the bow, stern, or superstructure to avoid non-penetrations. Despite her inability to hit the citadel of those ships, Chengan is capable of penetrating the citadel armor belt of Black Swan, Bougainville, and Orlan. If any of those three ships show their broadside, captains should aim for the waterline under the smoke stack to inflict severe damage. Captains should also utilize Chengan's excellent concealment to dictate the engagement. When fully specialized, Chengan will not be out spotted by any of the other Tier I ships. This stealthiness enables her to set up ambush-style attacks or disengage from a greater enemy force.

Pros:

  • Very small and agile (lowest turning circle radius and rudder shift time of all Tier I ships).
  • Excellent concealment (lowest detectability range of all Tier I ships).
  • Fastest turret rotation of all Tier I ships.
  • Small and therefore difficult to hit.

Cons:

  • Weak citadel armor belt.
  • Shortest main battery firing range of all Tier I ships.
  • Sluggish main battery reload time.
  • Slow top speed (slowest Tier I ship together with Black Swan and Bougainville).

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Chengan is as follows:

  • Main Battery: No available upgrades.
  • Hull: Progression to consecutive ship, Longjiang.
  • Gun Fire Control System: Type 1 Mod. 1 can be upgraded to Type 1 Mod. 2 for a 10% firing range increase.
  • Engine: No available upgrades.


Players wishing to progress further in the line should prioritize research and purchase of Longjiang. For players who enjoy playing Chengan, GFCS Type 1 Mod. 2 is an inexpensive upgrade to research and mount.

Signals

Chengan will benefit from flying Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags which increase her top speed to be more competitive.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
