In a similar situation are currently Warspite and Queen Elizabeth. Probably not with exactly the same stats but with not too different stats.Īlso don't forget that Takao doesn't get reduced repair cost and increased income unlike real premium ships. Since Atago is a Takao-class Cruiser one isn't too far off to guess that the leadship Takao will find it's way into the game as a non-premium eventually. Prinz Eugen has also worse surface concealment and worse gun range.Įmden has 2 guns less than B-Hull Dresden. Final equipment and sea routes lasted almost 2 years and the ship was finally put into operation on March 30, 1932.Prinz Eugen has more HP and better AA, compared to C-Hull HipperĮmden has superior turning circle and rudder shift speed (although I have no B-Hull Dresden to be frank, so I may write some bullsh** here), however: the Emden was introduced after the Dresden, and she was a christmas gift to everyone, and she's just T II and not T VIII On April 28, 1927, the Kure Navy Arsenal - the same shipyard where the famous Yamato battleship was later built - was launched on June 16, 1930.
The size of the bridge has been reduced, the main mast has been moved backwards and hull bulges have been added to improve stability. For this reason, Takao and Atago were rebuilt. It was quickly discovered that the construction of the ship was very heavy, which affected the stability and navigability. Their main armament consisted of ten naval cannons of the 3rd type 20 cm / 50, in five towers mounted on two channels and 24 torpedoes of the "Long Lance" type 93, which could be fired from four firing devices of four torpedoes.įor this reason, the Atago became, at least at the time, one of the most armed cruisers in the world. With stronger armor, dual-purpose cannons on the main battery, and increased torpedo launcher safety, the Takao-class ships became the backbone of the IJN. The construction of the Takao class was created from a previous heavy cruiser of the Myōkō class, which was built in the 1920s. Like its sister ships, the Atago was named after the mountain: Mount Atago - located near Kyoto. Template information:Ītago is one of four Takao-class heavy cruisers built between 19 for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN).
The length of the model is 295 mm, difficulty 3. Plastic model Italeri 46502 - World of Warships - IJN ATAGO in scale 1: 700.
