Furutaka — Japanese Tier V cruiser.

A powerful scout cruiser employed to carry out reconnaissance operations and to protect battleship fleets from enemy light naval forces. Furutaka’s primary distinction from her predecessors was an enhanced artillery armament featuring a pyramid arrangement of turret mounts.

Player Opinion

Performance

The first heavy cruiser within Japan's cruiser tree and one of the first heavy cruisers in the game, Furutaka carries a powerful complement of six 203mm guns after upgrading from the 200mm, allowing her to deal with anything she encounters. While slow-firing, their large caliber and accuracy allows Furutaka captains to deal large amounts of damage in a single salvo. Fully upgraded, her guns have a range of 13.9km, while her torpedoes can hit 10km after researching the improved range. A common tactic is to close in on an isolated target and launch all available torpedoes before turning around to disengage. While she is faster than most cruisers at her tier, she rapidly slows down when turning, as such you will be the most vulnerable when turning to run away from the opponent.

If possible, captain's are recommended to remain undetected, as Furutaka's poor armor prevents her from tanking damage effectively. Avoid getting drawn into a close range gunfight at all costs, as Furutaka will almost always lose. The ship excels most when firing at unsuspecting targets from a distance. Despite her poor armor, playing Furutaka plays more like a strike cruiser rather than a typical heavy cruiser. Often the best way to play the cruiser, especially in higher tier battles, is to find a battleship or destroyer to support.

Furutaka's weak armor can be compensated for by conducting evasive maneuvers and angling. While her hull can withstand armor piercing shells from other cruisers when angled, most battleships will have little to no problem over-matching most sections of the ship.

Furutaka's Hull B upgrade changes the look of the ship dramatically. The upgrade rearranges the cruiser's six guns into three dual-gun turrets, two superfiring turrets on the front and one on the rear, the same configuration that Aoba carries. Torpedo bulges are added in Hull B that helps cover 80% of the citadel that was exposed in hull A, which allows better protection from shells.

Pros:

Very thick central deck armor (48 mm): even the biggest AP shells can ricochet.
Powerful, accurate guns for her tier with large firing arcs on all turrets.
HE shells have a high fire chance, great penetration, and damage.
Superb torpedo bulges that make the citadel rather small.
Powerful torpedoes with good range, speed, and damage.
Torpedo mounts have excellent firing angles compared to higher tier Japanese cruisers.
Fastest turret traverse of all Japanese heavy cruisers.
Reasonable fast with a fast rudder shift time.

Cons:

Poor light armor for a heavy cruiser, takes large chunks of damage from anything being fired at her.
Due to her larger gun caliber, the ship has a longer reload time than most other cruisers at her tier.
Despite the torpedo protection covering most of the citadel, it still rises well above the waterline.
Poor main battery firing range at 13.9km.
Stock guns has the longest reload time of any cruiser in the game at 21 seconds.
The ship’s anti-aircraft armament is weak and leaves the ship vulnerable to carrier strikes.

Research

Captains should first research the second main battery module for the reduction in reload time it provides. Then the B Hull for the reconfigured main battery, two more torpedo tubes, better maneuverability, health pool, and better AA suite. Next either the gun range buff or the much better mod.2 torpedoes, depending on whether you value her guns or torpedoes more highly.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Furutaka are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2 makes her guns more comfortable and saves a skill point that would otherwise be spent on Grease the Gears to improve her gun handling. Aiming Systems Modification 1 gives her guns more accuracy and is an option.

Commander Skills

The key skills for Furutaka include Grease the Gears at Level 1, Priority Target at Level 2, Adrenaline Rush at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4. Captains who use the ship’s torpedoes often may also wish to invest in one or more of the torpedo skills if they have points remaining after investing in her main guns and concealment. The AA skills, particularly Expert AA Marksman, are almost always a good choice for leftover skill points on cruisers. While Pyrotechnician could be taken at Level 2 to improve her shells' fire chances, her rate of fire is too low to properly take advantage of the relative small boost to fire chance per shell. Captains may also with to invest in Top Grade Gunner to improve the slow rate of fire when they find themselves unable to drop off detection using her concealment.

Consumables

Furutaka equips the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search 
Slot 3: Catapult Fighter

Camouflage

Furutaka does not have a purchasable permanent camouflage available to her. Instead, Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.

Signals

Furutaka captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. To improve upon the ship's armaments, India X-Ray (), Victor Lima (), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () flags are recommended to increase the fire chance and flooding chances respectively. To improve the ship’s survivability, captains should mount November Foxtrot () and India Yankee () flags. Sierra Mike () flags are recommended to increase the ship’s already high top speed. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to improve the ship’s economic gains per battle.

Recommended Signal Flags
