We're Redditors with a passion for warships, gaming and the World of Warships video game on PC. There's still a steep learning curve to cruiser survival at Tier 8 and you'll be instantly punished for your mistakes.Please mark leaks with spoiler tags, like this: Smolensk is balanced!. Therefore, don't expect to start seal clubbing when you get an Atago. Especially when you want to make a turn because an accidental broadside to an enemy paying attention will cost you a lot. You have to be aware of your environment and who's shooting what. Despite having decent armor, the IJN cruisers sport the biggest citadel surfaces in the game and the Atago is not an exception.
The second weakness is inherent to the IJN cruisers and it's their huge citadels. You also lose 3 turrets to rotation instead of 2 while swinging your guns to the other side. If you're shooting while angling, it doesn't like to fire at all just like the Hipper's infamous third turret. The rear-looking third turret is very annoying to use. However, the Atago is not without weaknesses. With some luck they might even show you the broadside you've been waiting for. You can launch your torps by swinging to the either side slightly and force your opponent to maneuver. Which sometimes forces you to inevitably close range. Though they give you a good advantage when you're angling against a dangerous opponent. The angles of the launchers also don't overlap much, so you can't launch 8 torps with quick succession unlike the other IJN cruisers. Don't expect to become a pesudo IJN DD with forward looking launchers. Yes you do get more torpedo hits, but it's mostly nothing compared to your gun damage overall. Despite better angles, I found the torpedoes to be pretty unreliable damage dealers on the Atago.
