Amagi — Japanese Tier VIII battleship.

An upgraded battlecruiser design with very powerful artillery. Though outclassed by other battleships of her time in terms of armor, Amagi was superior to them in terms of speed.

Player Opinion

Performance

Amagi has an impressive reputation among battleships at her tier. Sporting five dual turrets each packing a pair of 410mm guns — 10x 16.1" rifles — Amagi is unmatched in terms of raw broadside weight. In her current fit, the ship is a reformatted battlecruiser with changes much like those applied to her colleague Kongo resulting in excellent speed and a powerful main battery with a turtleback covered by a thin plating of armor. (see the Design section below)

Despite the solid appearance and heavy broadside weight, Amagi can take only so much punishment before she breaks. It is inadvisable to depend heavily on your armor, as at 32mm everywhere, she is very vulnerable to cruiser high-explosive as well as overmatch from Yamato and Musashi. The AA suite is not terrible, but not very good either. Only the 16x 127mm rifles can throw shells beyond short range. There are no medium-range AA defenses at all.

Taking into account her strengths and weaknesses, the best way to play Amagi is to stay at medium ranges and use her heavy and accurate broadside to get rid of the enemy cruisers and destroyers. Because of her 16-inch guns, she can overmatch all cruiser plating up to Tier X. Once they are cleared, then it's time for the fun to begin and you can start moving into brawling range. With her powerful broadside, she is more than capable of brawling with any battleship, even if they are Tier X.

Pros:

With a 30 knot speed, making Amagi very fast for a battleship.
Heaviest broadside weight at tier with ten 410mm rifles.
Fairly accurate guns with excellent AP, hard hitting HE and decent shell velocity for both.
An AP salvo against an enemy broadside can potentially destroy anything including Tier X.
Powerful secondary battery that can send out 110 shells per minute per side.
Good health pool.
Angling can bring about surprising bounces and/or mitigate heavy damage.
While she is a battlecruiser, she has a turtleback armor scheme that makes her very resistant to citadels, especially at closer ranges, making her an amazing brawler against other battleships especially combined with her broadside
Final hull has an immense TDS bulge, Providing extra protection both from shells and torpedoes.

Cons:

Rather underwhelming firing range of 18/20 km compared to her Tier VIII adversaries, North Carolina and Bismarck, though not very uncomfortable compared to the likes of Monarch and Roma.
Armor plating is vulnerable to battleship shells that catch her side.
32mm Bow can get overmatched by 460mm guns on Yamato, with a high chance of smashing through to the citadel.
Slow rudder shift combined with a large turning radius makes it difficult to dodge torpedoes, although this is partly compensated for by her impressive torpedo protection of 43%.
Main turrets often get knocked out.
Rather high detection radius.
Weak AA flak bubble. Expect the planes to get close enough.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Amagi are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1

Upgrade Slot 1 provides two viable options. The first is Main Armaments Modification 1 , which increases the survivability and reduces repair time of the main armament. If AA defense is more desirable, take Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 to increase the survivability of AA and secondary battery mounts.

Upgrade Slot 3 provides options for specialization in certain roles. Aiming Systems Modification 1 is typically recommended for ship to ship combat. For AA defense, AA Guns Modification 1 can be mounted instead to reinforce the long-range flak guns. A secondary build is not advised.

Upgrade Slot 4 is usually filled with Damage Control System Modification 2 . A valid alternative is Steering Gears Modification 1 to perk up the lazy rudder.

Upgrade Slot 5 should be filled with Concealment System Modification 1 , which reduces ship detectability and increases dispersion of enemy shells fired at the ship.

Consumables

Amagi can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Repair Party 
Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Amagi with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Amagi comes with 21 signal flag slots. The three most important flags are India Delta

, Juliet Yankee Bissotwo

, and India Yankee

; all of which improve surviveability. Another good signal to mount would be November Echo Setteseven

, to give Amagi`s AA a slight further increase for self-protection. If the captain insists on a Secondary Build, the addition of Mike Yankee Soxisix

will further improve the performance of the secondaries.

-What can be said as the final gameplay deviation for the Japanese battleship branch, ''Amagi'' is one ship at her tier you might be impressed with. Sporting five dual mount turrets with each packing a pair of 410mm guns, ''Amagi'' is literally unmatched in terms of raw broadside weight despite being a reformatted battlecruiser although to be fair, her upgraded hull retrofits and reformats her into a fast battleship much like what happens to her battlecruiser colleague that had a reformat the Kongo. Her main batteries and fast speed can match or destroy any post-dreadnought battleship at high tiers, dominate dreadnoughts if she's the top tier by dealing heavy damage per salvo should they connect and as well as run down cruisers with her fast speed. However, despite the solid appearance and heavy broadside weight, ''Amagi'' can only take so much punishment before she breaks and its inadvisable to heavily invest in your armor or even prolonging shot per shot trading and the AA suite can only do so much to defend herself from aerial assaults.

 Limitations imposed by the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty prevented the class from being completed as designed. However, the treaty had a limited allowance for hulls already under construction to be converted into aircraft carriers.  ''Amagi'' and ''Akagi'' were both intended for conversion, but an earthquake damaged the hull of ''Amagi'' so extensively that the ship was scrapped.  ''Akagi'' was reconstructed as an aircraft carrier and served with distinction as part of the Kido Butai during the Second World War, participating in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor before being sunk at the Battle of Midway.
+''Amagi''’s stock Hull (A) represents how the ship would have looked after a theoretical mid-1930's refit (had she been completed), while Hull (B) is a what-if variant circa 1944.
