Player Opinion
Pros:
- Very high speed, capable of a brisk 37 knots with Sierra Mike
- Has the access to the Repair Party consumable, allowing for HP recovery like battleships and higher tier cruisers. ARP Maya can have significant staying power late game compared to her contemporaries if it can avoid taking big hits.
- Much wider torpedo launch arcs than regular tech tree Japanese cruisers; having 2 front-mounted and 2 rear-mounted allows for more flexible torpedo usage. Position of the forward torpedo launcher allows for bold plays against other cruisers
- Excellent gun accuracy, equal to that of Zao
- Fast rudder shift
- Very narrow target. Can be difficult to hit if kiting away
- Low detection range; with the Concealment Expert skill, the cruiser has an astonishing 9.3km detection range.
- 10 km torpedoes with excellent damage, Atago is able to launch torpedoes while undetected with a full stealth build
- Lethal HE shells with excellent fire starting capabilities and damage
- Heavy 10-gun broadside with an equally heavy HE alpha strike
- 41mm mid-deck armor. Can lead to large caliber shells occasionally bouncing off the deck at long range, as well as shattering HE shells from some cruisers
Cons:
- Citadel is very vulnerable with easily overmatched extremeties, caution is advised when engaging battleships
- Modules -- notably the rudder, gun turrets and torpedo tubes -- are very easy to disable under sustained HE fire
- Difficult to fire both torpedo launchers in quick succession due to the opposing orientation of the launchers. Almost flat broadside must be given to do so
- Turret setup requires an uncomfortable amount of broadside to be given to fire all five guns
- Longest reload time of any Japanese 203mm gun at 16 seconds. Adrenaline Rush is a must-have skill
- Mediocre turret traverse; however, Expert Marksman mitigates some of this
- Unremarkable AP performance, only usable against flat broadside cruisers
- Terrible AA suite

Commander Skills
Signals
Atago is one of the fastest Tier VIII cruisers in the game; a Sierra Mike () signal is recommended for captains who are interested in maximizing that speed. Zulu Hotel (
), Victor Lima (
), and India X-Ray (
) signals are also recommended. Zulu Hotel will add additional commander XP for faster retraining for a transferred captain, and Victor Lima and India X-Ray add an additional 2% to the fire chance of her main battery high explosive shells.
