Takao Azuma

CategorySniper
DescriptionAn alternative to AL Atago. At Azuma's RoF and accuracy more fire chance on paper is pretty good. But being limited to needing Ingenious and using Arsonist really hurts your range and you don't make as much use of the increased fire chance. The loss of HE damage is negligible. Now with Takao you can take Beyond Range and Seer to get both the range and turret traverse that's wanted. Seer doesn't boost turret traverse as much as Ingenious but you'll go from 31s to 36s. Its a decent sized hit but its far better than the 45s stock and 15.8km range you get with Atago.
