Azuma — Japanese special premium Tier IX cruiser.
A powerful high-speed ship (Project B-65) designed to destroy American heavy cruisers and confront Alaska-class "large cruisers". Some design solutions were borrowed from Yamato-class battleships. She was armed with nine 310 mm guns and had good anti-torpedo protection.

Player Opinion
Pros:
Cons:
- Exterior plating is almost entirely 25 mm, making her very weak to any and all battleships.
- Poor rear turret angles make getting all guns on target quite dangerous.
- Slow turret traverse.
- Unlike every other IJN cruiser, Azuma does not have any torpedoes.
- Although she is more accurate than her American and Soviet counterparts, her dispersion is still quite poor.
