Atago B — Japanese special premium Tier VIII cruiser.
Takao-class cruiser. During World War II, she supported assault groups during the invasions of Malaya and the Philippines, participated in the Battle of the Java Sea, and operated near the Eastern Solomon Islands, the Santa Cruz Islands, Guadalcanal, and the Philippine Sea. On October 23, 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Atago was sunk by submarine USS Darter.

Player Opinion
Performance
Atago was the first Tier VIII premium ship released for World of Warships and replaced Kitakami at the end of the Closed Beta. 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 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.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Atago from the NA forumsPros:
- Very high speed.
- Has the access to the Repair Party consumable, allowing for HP recovery like battleships and higher tier cruisers.
- 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.
- Low detection range; with the Concealment Expert skill, the cruiser has an astonishing 9.1km detection range.
- Lethal HE shells with excellent fire starting capabilities and damage.
- Heavy 10-gun broadside.
Cons:
- Citadel is very vulnerable.
- Modules -- notably the rudder, gun turrets and torpedo tubes -- are very easy to disable.
- Slow turret traverse; however, Expert Marksman mitigates some of this.
- Low rate of fire.
- Terrible AA suite.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Atago B are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
- Slot 1: Damage Control System Modification 1 makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 gives her guns more accuracy.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2 allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire.
- Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 gets her detection down further allowing better stealth.

Consumables
Atago B can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire or Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Catapult Fighter
- Slot 4: Repair Party
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Atago comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Atago is far and away the fastest Tier VIII cruiser 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.
