And her armor belt is easy to penetrate if positioned full broadside.īecause AP shells have no bonuses (unlike USN Cruisers with their convenient better rebound angles), AP shells are rather useless and can be used in close quarters only. The ship itself is so huge that hitting her from any distance isn't a problem at all. IJN Azuma is a Large Heavy Cruiser, meaning that it features 9 high-caliber 310 mm main battery guns in three-gun turrets mounted on a lightly armored hull. Not the best implementation of the concept of meaningful choice in games IMHO. In fact, you've got a choice to buy Azuma or wait until the World of Warships operator puts up some other ship on sale. Tier IX Japanese Large Heavy Cruiser AzumaĪt the moment of writing this article, which I'm planning to keep up-to-date, Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) Azuma is the only tier IX ship for Free XP. But if you want to get the best ship possible for farming credits and experience you'd better stick with tier IX ships.
So if you like playing on mid-tier battleships Nelson is a ship to consider. Its setting is identical to Repair Parties on tier IX Lion and tier X Conqueror, which means that Nelson can repair much of her damage, surprising and demotivating enemy players, whereas a smart Commander development permits maximizing the inflicted damage. However, Nelson's AP shells, thanks to short-fuse aiming time, are very good for damaging enemy cruisers, ensuring lesser overpenetrations.Īnd last but not least, Nelson features an obviously overpowered Repair Party consumable. In particular, her HE shells feature increased penetration and fire chance, rendering the use of AP shells virtually unnecessary.
Another reason to buy Nelson is that she's great.
