Player Opinion

Battleship - Nagato

Pros:

• Decent speed, impressive handling and good ergonomics for a dreadnought.
• Decent main battery reload time.
• Powerful, hard-hitting 410mm guns with fairly good accuracy, penetration and damage on both AP and HE shells.
• Good rudder shift time.
• Good HP pool.

Cons:

• Armor is quite weak and citadel is quite vulnerable, though this can be mitigated by angling and good positioning.
• Anti-aircraft suite is subpar, with most of her AA damage being concentrated at medium range.
• Despite the guns being rather accurate, the dispersion itself is sometimes wonky at long range.
• Rudder often gets knocked out by near misses or when dodging because of the weak armor protecting her rudder.
• Fairly high detection range.
