Takahashi — Japanese Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

The Japanese Navy replenishment program included the construction of two cruisers with fifteen 6.1-inch (155 mm) guns housed in triple-gun turrets and a displacement of 8,450 tons. The project was never implemented, but its further development led to the creation of the Tone-class heavy cruisers. An alternative development design involved arming the ships with dual purpose 5.9-inch (150 mm) guns to create an anti-aicraft defense cruiser to combat American deck- and ground-based aviation.


Year of Design: 1944

Ship Traits
Big Yield: Above average torpedo damage.	Full Circle: Main battery turrets can rotate the full 360 degrees.	Nimble Aim: Above average main battery traverse speed. Gives an edge in close quarters combat.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Large HP pool for a light cruiser
• Large number of guns with decent firing range
• Most turrets can rotate 360 degrees and rotate quickly
• Great torpedo count, with high damage and long range
• Torpedoes have wide firing arcs thanks to the torpedo turning mechanic
• Good speed
• Good concealment

Cons:

• Abysmal armor
• Large, above-water citadel
• Turrets are prone to incapacitation due to their large size and poor armor
• Long main battery reload time
• Poor AP shell damage and penetration
• Poor ballistics
• Torpedoes have slow speed and high detectability
• Poor AA defense DPS
• Terrible turning circle for a light cruiser
