Player Opinion

Pros:

• Main battery HE shells have higher damage and fire chance compared to other cruisers.
• The majority of the ship's turrets are mounted on the bow, allowing her to fire most of her guns without exposing too much of her side.
• Carries a powerful torpedo armament with high speed and good range.
• High top speed and quick rudder shift time allow the ship to dodge long rang fire with ease.
• Good concealment.

Cons:

• Low amount of HP for a Tier VIII cruiser.
• Like Mogami, Ibuki will often suffer citadel hits whenever broadside to any similarly sized ship. This is due to the ship's large citadel which is located partially above the waterline.
• Main battery turrets have a sluggish reload time and traverse slowly.
• Like her predecessors, the ship's torpedo armament is rear facing. This requires the ship to be broadside or facing away from a target to fire her torpedoes.
