    One of my favorite ship. Akizuki is still on my lineup when I use the Hyuga. My crew is almost aced on this ship so loading time fuse on the main guns and letting your AI controle them create a 5km no flight zone around you. Sometimes fast planes can enter the 5km radius but then it's the 25mm that will vaporise anything flying 3km from you.

Just Max the crew and the commander and especially the A.A reload speed... and upgrade them to crew mastery to make them op. Always remember to use akizuki as a support ship... and its a perfect ship to hit and run tactics.... always use smoke screen and torpedoes when fleeing.

    Hm was that a post 2.01 thing as I remember in 1.99 that 3.9" mounts could hullbreak an the only cannon that couldn't was the early British 4" as the lordite amount was like only 900 grams an hullbreak need above 1.4kg tnt. Still with 2.01 DM's hullbreak may as well be removed as but 2-3 salvos is enough with these 3.9" mounts.

    @@lordwintertown8284 At 1st I thought the "hull break" was based on the amount of explosive filler of the shell, but for example the 102mm guns on the Groza never could "hull break" a PT boat despite its HE has a 2.1 kg TNT filler, while the British Mark 16/102 mm could (and still can) with less!

    Yeah Kako it's extremely tanky on her B.r and can deal heavy damage if you manage to land hit on destroyer(manage to destroy Eugene once with this ship), the problem is it have horrible accuracy, so i really advice to targetting ship who are located under 6km from you, and if you alreary good enough you can use it as moving bunker (watch for torp tho, make sure it always hit the middle of your hull), and oh her torp is useless

    In Arcade, your aiming disatance is automatically set to the enemy's distance when a shell hits the water. In Realistic, you have to manually scroll up and down to adjust the aiming distance, which is displayed to the right of the cursor.

    Sad that Gaijin insists on calling it a good AA cruiser when it fails on almost all accounts. Firstly its long ranged AA lacks proximity fuses, which ingame are infinitely more useful and harder to dodge. Secondly while it has 8 guns and they fire rapidly, they are also relatively weak and overall pump out less HE per minute than a basic sumner class who'll be spitting out VT fuses with even higher ROF per gun. Lastly while it has lots of AA guns, they have a pretty short maximum range, and the US DD's will be pumping out lead entire kilometers further out, giving you more chance to survive a bomb hit. Overall the thing could be 4.3 in the current state and it'd be fine, it cannot even really damage USN DD's in areas. Edit: This could be avoided by giving he Aki its prototype VT fuses Japan had built thousands of. Before anyone complains the game already features prototype rounds in the form of the 1911 SAP shells Russia gets. Official dialogue from Gaijin devs states "as long as the gun COULD fire something, it should have the shells". AKA, HEAT-FS for IS2 too lol.
