Chikuma — Japanese Tier II cruiser.

Designed as part of the program to create a "high-speed fleet" using the latest technology of the time. The first in Japan, and one of the first light cruisers in the world, to be equipped with turbine-driven propulsion. The ship carried decent armament and had a high top speed for her time.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Incredible armor for its tier.
  • Fastest current Tier 2 cruiser at 26.4kts.
  • Gun range is good before the upgrade.

Cons:

  • Maneuverability is poor, comparable to same tier battleships.
  • Has less concealment than the Chester.
  • AA Guns are useless.
  • Is prone to getting its engine disabled in battle.
  • Stock hull gives only a 3 gun broadside
  • Guns have a slow reload time for their caliber

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Chikuma is as follows:

  • Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for an improved rudder shift time, additional hit points, and four additional main battery turrets. Research of this module unlocks progression to Tenryu.
  • Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to Type 2 Mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery. Research of this module unlocks progression to Umikaze.
Captains should first research Hull (B) before researching the Gun Fire Control System.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Chikuma are as follows:

Commander Skills

Consumables

Chikuma can equip the following consumables:

Signals

Chikuma captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm.) and Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.) flags are recommended to improve the main battery's fire chance. To improve the ship’s survivability, captains should mount November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) and India Yankee (-20% to fire duration.) flags. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags are recommended to increase the ship’s top speed. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to improve the ship’s economic gains per battle.
