Special

ARP Haguro — Japanese special premium Tier VII cruiser.

A Heavy Cruiser of the "Fleet of Fog". Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 4th Myoko-class cruiser, Haguro. Equipped with multiple thruster modules, she uses exceptional speed and agility to overwhelm her opponents. Her Mental Model "Haguro" is known for her sharp tongue and lazy personality. Haguro acts as one of the "Secretaries" in the "Student Council of the Fog", along with Ashigara. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships, and is modeled after Haguro as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA- Cadenza". Currently unavailable for purchase.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Haguro is a powerful being in Arpeggio of Blue Steel manga and its Ars Nova anime adaptation, with enormous speed, numerous matter annihilating weapons, and a protective field that is impenetrable to any weapon developed by humankind. However, so the game does not turn into "World of ARP Ships" with a few insignificant human targets cowering in the background, the developers have declined to provide her with her true complement of abilities and weaponry. ARP Haguro performs exactly like the standard Myoko in the game, and that means that she shares the same play style as the regular Myoko. You can refer to the article on Myoko for her performance appraisal.

Her armor is quite weak, and her large citadel makes her vulnerable to AP shells. A well landed battleship salvo can potentially remove the majority of her health, and taking a page from Ashigara and just carelessly charging into the heat of battle is not recommended for any cruiser, but especially so for her because of her squishiness (and because she lacks the aforementioned impenetrable protective barrier). But she also has the powerful 203mm guns that are standard for the Japanese heavy cruisers with low shell arcs, reasonable AP and powerful HE with high fire chance, giving her a powerful offense that can devastate cruisers and burn down battleships. She receives the formidable 61cm torpedo with long range and potent warheads (but which are unfortunately neither homing, supercavitating, nor equipped with corrosive warheads) in two triple mounts on each side, though their limited rearward arc can limit their offensive potential. Her high speed and low detection range can be exploited to disengage when the fighting becomes hotter than you would like. While she has a reasonable AA complement and can function as an effective AA support ship when fitted with the right Equipment and Skills, she is better utilized as an offensive vessel, operating with the fleet or in cruiser squadrons to destroy cruisers and destroyers and harass battleships. ARP Hagurou is eager to battle, and guided by a decent captain she can be a potent force on the battlefield. Like all the ARP ships, she is (currently) unavailable for purchase.

Pros:

• All the pros of the standard Myoko.
• Comes with free Captain's Skills Points (depending on the event).
• Special unique announcer (voiced by her voice actor from the Ars Nova series).

Cons:

• All the cons of the standard Myoko.
• Voice notifications of the unique commander are in Japanese.
• Does not come with overwhelming firepower, speed, submergence, Klein field, or super-graviton cannons of Haguro in Ars Nova.

Research

As a premium ship, ARP Haguro doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Myoko, the following recommended upgrades are the same:

• Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
• Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
• Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2 makes her guns more comfortable and saves a skill point that would otherwise be spent on Grease the Gears to improve her gun handling. Aiming Systems Modification 1 gives her guns more accuracy and is an alternative option.
• Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire. Propulsion Modification 1 can also be used to aid dodging incoming fire and torpedoes via speed juking, depending on your preferred play style.

Historical Info

Haguro (kanji: 羽黒) Heavy cruiser of the First Oriental Fleet and member of Hiei's "student council"

Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi

Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-

In 2038, a mysterious fleet of warships, who have lurked around the world in the decades decades before, went on the offensive against humanity. Modelled after ships that appeared in World War II, but possessing weaponry far superior to those in humanity's possession and protected by an indestructible barrier immune to whatever we have to throw at them, humanity quickly loses control of the seas and our military forces are annihilated in the desperate battles against them. The result was a world where humanity's presence in the oceans is no more, with communication via the seas cut off and humans isolated from each other, blockaded by the "Fleet of Fog".

In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog. The ships of the Fog, impersonal and faceless, started developing "Mental Models", human avatars capable of thinking in ways similar to human beings, with personalities unique to each Mental Model. One of these was the I-401, or, Iona, who made contact with Gunzō Chihaya to become his ship. Gunzō, with Iona and a small band of friends who now crew the I-401, as Blue Steel now seek to create a balance to this lopsided status quo with the Fleet of Fog, to bring a peace where humanity and the Fleet of Fog can happily coexist together.

Haguro is one of Hiei’s subordinates and the youngest of Myōkō’s sisters. Her mental model appears as a high school student, in following the theme of Hiei’s "student council" that governs the First Oriental Fleet. Her uniform, which she has expressed her dislike of, is asymmetrical, matching Myōkō’s style, with the left side of her blazer being longer than her right, and wears a metal bracer on her right hand. She is somewhat childish and carefree, disliking being forced into doing things, and whines about the things she doesn't like. In the Ars Nova Cadenza movie, she is part of Hiei’s group, along with the heavy cruisers Myōkō, Nachi, and Ashigara, sent to hunt down and destroy I-401.

Historical

Haguro (羽黒) was the third of the four-member Myōkō class of heavy cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was named after Mount Haguro in Yamagata Prefecture. The other ships of her class were Myōkō (妙高), Nachi (那智), and Ashigara (足柄). Haguro saw significant service during World War II, participating in nine naval engagements. She was sunk during a fight with Royal Navy destroyers on May 30, 1945 at the battle of Mallaca Straits, becoming the last major Japanese warship to be sunk during World War II.
