Because of her 16-inch guns, she can overmatch all cruiser plating up to Tier X. Taking into account her strengths and weaknesses, the best way to play Amagi is to stay at medium ranges and use her heavy and accurate broadside to get rid of the enemy cruisers and destroyers. There are no medium-range AA defenses at all. Only the 16x 127mm rifles can throw shells beyond short range. The AA suite is not terrible, but not very good either. It is inadvisable to depend heavily on your armor, as at 32mm everywhere, she is very vulnerable to cruiser high-explosive as well as overmatch from Yamato and Musashi. (see the Design section below)ĭespite the solid appearance and heavy broadside weight, Amagi can take only so much punishment before she breaks. In her current fit, the ship is a reformatted battlecruiser with changes much like those applied to her colleague Kongo resulting in excellent speed and a powerful main battery with a turtleback covered by a thin plating of armor. Sporting five dual turrets each packing a pair of 410mm guns - 10x 16.1" rifles - Amagi is unmatched in terms of raw broadside weight. Amagi has an impressive reputation among battleships at her tier.
