+ | ''ARP Takao'' is identical to ''[[Atago]]''. Bearing the same ABC-XY turret layout of her historical predecessor ''[[Myoko]]'', this heavy cruiser is fairly similar to her predecessor, but improves on many traits such as turret traverse and overall handling. While her main battery rate of fire is slower, her torpedoes are quadruple tube mounts (for a total of 16 instead of 12) and the forward launcher on each side fires forwards instead of backwards, making it useful against enemies in front of the ship. She also gains access to the [[Ship:Consumables#Repair Party|Repair Party]] consumable, allowing her to recover HP, unlike most other cruisers at Tier VIII). Her impressively low detection range means that she can engage the enemy at her terms, and if situations go awry she can sneak away (providing there are no aircraft patrolling the sky or a nearby destroyer to detect her. With a full concealment build she can even fire torpedoes from beyond her detection radius in certain situations. She does have a few drawbacks, with a very large citadel hitbox — due to the large bridge/boiler area amidships — as well as a slow rate of fire and a mediocre anti-aircraft suite, but she is overall a very powerful ship. | |||

Modeled 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. | + | In 2054, a change became across the Fleet of Fog.

After Gunzō defeats her in battle, ''Takao'' falls in love with him and later joins the Blue Steel fleet. She realizes what a human captain can do. If a human captain can increase the capabilities of a submarine, think of the new abilities of a heavy cruiser! ''Takao'' therefore seeks to add Gunzō as her captain to increase her abilities. In the manga, she is almost destroyed for good by Zordan's fleet but is saved in the nick of time by a surprise attack from Iona and ''Hyūga''. However, her core is salvaged by ''I-402'' and delivered to ''Yamato'', who assigns her to infiltrate a human facility in a special mission with the promise of being allowed to return to Gunzō's side once it is accomplished. The spin-off manga Salty Road follows ''Takao''’s days among other humans during said mission.<br /> | |
+ | ||||
+ | In the Ars Nova anime adaptation, ''Takao'' sacrifices her vessel self to save Gunzō and the critically damaged ''I-401''. This results in a super submarine called the Ars Nova with the processing capabilities of both ''Takao'' and Iona. At the end of the anime she regains her Mental Model form. In the Cadenza movie, she regains her ship after negotiating as a messenger to the Japanese government of the vibration warheads' codes with the help of ''Hyūga''’s skills and enters combat to save ''I-401'' from the Fog's student council and buys time in order for ''I-401'' to defeat ''Musashi''. | |||

+ | ''Takao'' (高雄?) was the lead vessel in the ''Takao''-class heavy cruisers, active in World War II with the Imperial Japanese Navy. These were the largest and most modern cruisers in the Japanese fleet, and were intended to form the backbone of a multipurpose long-range strike force. Her sister ships were ''Atago, Maya'' and ''Chōkai''. | |||

She loses a duel against I-401 while patrolling the Kumano Sea area. After her defeat, she decides to leave the "Fleet of Fog" to join the "Blue Steel" led by Gunzō Chihaya. Takao’s Mental Model has a great deal of curiosity, which led her to unwittingly collect a lot of information about humanity.

Performance
Pros:
- Pros of Atago: good handling characteristics, has access to the Repair Party consumable, much wider torpedo launch arcs than regular tech tree Japanese cruisers, low detection range.
- Comes with free Commander Skill points (varies by region).
- Special unique announcer (voiced by her voice actor from the Ars Nova series).
- Unique announcer can be used as the default announcer for other ships.
Cons:
- Cons of Atago: citadel is fairly easy to punch through, torpedo tubes are likely to be hit and disabled by enemy fire, slow-ish turret traverse, low rate of fire, very mediocre AA suite.
- Does not come with overwhelming firepower, speed, submergence, Klein field, or super graviton cannons of ARP Takao in Ars Nova.

Signals
ARP Takao is — like Atago — far and away the fastest Tier VIII cruiser in the game; a Sierra Mike flag is recommended for captains who are interested in maximizing that speed. Zulu Hotel, Victor Lima, and India X-Ray flags are also recommended. Zulu Hotel will add additional commander experience, and Victor Lima and India X-Ray add an additional 2% to the fire chance of her main battery high explosive shells.
