Player Opinion

Pros:

• Respectable health pool for a Tier II cruiser; far more health than her tech tree counterpart Tenryū.
• Good main battery range.
• Guns are highly accurate with Aiming Systems mod. 0 equipped.
• Can launch torpedoes from both sides with good firing arcs (unique for Japanese cruisers at low tier).
• Has access to the Catapult Fighterconsumable, giving her additional protection from low-tier carrier players and additional ability to spot enemy ships.
• Above average anti-aircraft suite for her tier.

Cons:

• Painfully slow, even when compared to battleships. Only South Carolina is slower.
• Badly outclassed by two of her most common cruiser opponents: St. Louis and Bogatyr.
• Standard Tier II Japanese torpedoes, but only 2 launched per salvo.
• Weak armor protection.
