Armada - Akizuki

[@donniemontoya9300]

I'm convinced Akizuki is just a very small light cruiser

[@arcturus4762]

Like Spee is a pocket Battleship?

[@peppermill7163]

Have to keep in in mind that the 100 mm guns are very light.

[@zam023]

I wished the IJN cruiser, Yubari had Akizuki guns. Funny thing is that the Yubari could be mistaken as a DD ^_^;;

[@detectivepatchouli8266]

pocket AA fortress

[@arcturus4762]

That was a kick right in the balls to me as a freakin' IJN CA fanatic :/ (It's true... I gave up AA on Mogami completely, turned her into a DD hunter)

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

Funny how they advertise Akizuki's stealth-fire capability as a feature when there are rumors flying around that WG wants to eliminate the ability to do exactly that.

[@bb-6359]

Holy crap, I just realised that this whole channel is about a video game! Very good on you for being so thorough and informative!

[@HitomiNee]

played several games, in a 1v1 situation, gearing gets out-gunned very easily. truly a remarkable ship.

[@moliangzhou1782]

My last game in Yamato got 281k DMG and 5 kills, and when the final dual against this Akizuki in smoke, I got torpedoed twice by the consumable and I didn't make it through the 2nd salvo. :(

[@Code_Exodus]

Rest in peace USS Sims and all other USN destroyers, they will never have a chance in battle again with these running around. Neat 2,000th person to view this, nice to round the number off.

[@outwardpanicjoe8950]

Michael Richards well they have to finish off the rest if they USN tree anyway so might as well do the USN DDs too

[@andreifelderean]

Michael Richards lol i eat this ship with my Gearing every time lol

[@Kyumaro]

BigFalon lol gearing is a Tier 10,akizuki a Tier 8 morons and i already destroy gearing with akizuki... I eat gearing everytime with my khabarov problem?

[@andreifelderean]

with new khaba nerf...its meh...i usualy rek khabas too;)

[@andreifelderean]

The Gearing its a good ship...the player who is sailing the ship counts...

[@K135Valhalla]

I hope WG will give her Defensive AA Fire consumable someday ...

[@52down]

That would be awesome, but on te other side very situational.

[@mikayari185]

She does have her DP guns as AA guns. Every secondaries and AA guns are automatic and do not require control.

[@poyrazkaripyan5469]

Its not possible because akizuki is an AA ship and it would be too owerpowered

[@iron8586]

she really needs a speed buff even if it's only 5 knots, or make her the. radius smaller

She's so beautiful 😍

[@godzilla14v67]

You should do armada for all ships in the game

[@ChungZon]

agent 12 pl they only do the ship no many people play.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Akizuki uses 100mm guns which means the Commander skills are obvious if you are going gun or AA route since they are double benefited here.

[@nou-jn6uz]

In armada they make ships seem more awesome than they actually are.

[@alexcamacho1842]

With their planned rearrangement of the captain skill the reload skill is about to be a lot more expensive (3 points instead of current 1)

[@rafaelnishizumi6330]

i see where Akizuki live turrets in kancolle come form

[@Trades46]

One thing they conveniently did not mention is her 100mm guns are like pop-guns; HE spam seems fun until you realize hitting anything even remotely armored will be absorbed, meaning constant 0 damage volleys are the norm. AP is almost exclusively required to actually do damage to anything, even against destroyers.

[@derHallen_Ch.]

I love seeing change from years ago

[@Dragundust]

Time to scrap this and make a new Akizuki armada; since stealth-fire is gone.

[@renzliu100]

or naval legends for every ship

[@helloitstggplayz1155]

Hippity hoppity your Akizuki is now my property

[@eviltediz43]

The pride and joy of the IJN? lolwut

[@24YOA]

The Akizuki class was very well regarded by the IJN during world war 2. Maybe something got lost in translation.

[@Hakumai_o7]

eviltediz43 Akizuki was praised for being the best destroyer of the Japanese Navy. Her 100 mm guns were excellent AA platforms, and provided sufficient surface firepower. Although Shimakaze gets a lot of glory, Akizuki and her sisters were most definitely the most effective Japanese destroyer design. That being said, she wasn't the pride of the IJN. That title belonged to Yamato and the other battleships. Carriers too were well loved (especially the Shoukaku sisters)

[@berserk-in9cl]

The 4 carriers in the 1st and 2nd Carrier Division were also highly regarded in the IJN and by the Japanese people, as it composed of some of the IJN's most experienced flight groups and carrier crews. It's fame rivals that of the 5th Carrier Division, which mainly got its fame for the fact that they were much more modern and larger than the rest of Japan's carriers

[@onlyrushb6428]

[@williamluo6084]

33kts is really sow for a dd

[@SuperControler9]

yeah, the Atago (35.5kts) near the end is actually faster than the Akizuki

[@wolfhunter98]

3:49 Lawl. Like there's is enough CV's at T8+ to make AA upgrades worth while.

[@brdfnick3886]

get her NOW in events! and hopeful your resource don't go dry.

[@MA_690]

O.M.G she already have 100mm twin high angler gun once you purchase meanwhile in kancolle you need to remodel her first so she can aquired this gun(normal gun 120/127mm twin gun mount)

[@quatschkopq186]

Where is my Edinburgh? :>

[@jdubs__01]

"You either upgrade your AA, or your artillery." Like the first one will help lmao

[@martinsivek9802]

i hate this unrealistic destroyer skills...

[@stardude2006]

Akizuki !!! 💚👽

[@viktorvincze909]

You forget to mention that her HE shell is so weak that it can't even penetrate DDs. Oh and R.I.P. Basic Firing Training.

[@HitomiNee]

its stated everywhere that you use AP against DDs, she can easily shell out 2k+ a volley against a Gearing.

[@tosyl_chloride]

Viktor Vincze just wait for 0.6.0's new Inertia Fuze skill. with it, Akizuki has the same penetration power as of USSR DDs' (21.7mm of armor). good luck for any DD trying to face this Ducky

and then remove invisifire after everyone get Akizuki

[@josedelacuesta8066]

I have a question whats the difference between Armada and naval legends

[@1LEgGOdt]

I saw Depth Charges on the Stern of the Akizuki. So does that mean we'll eventually be getting submarines in WoWs

[@BWIENS789]

Alot of destroyers and some cruisers have depth charges, depth charge racks, depth charge projectors, etc modeled.

[@Gibbysaurio]

Aguiar Ed every destroyer has them. we wont get subs ever also

[@1LEgGOdt]

Gabriel Rabbit Then why have them if they're only there for just looks. if you have depth charges and are not able to use them then they should be removed from the deck

[@Mantodeavideos]

Because being modeled as "magazine" then you can have more "fun and engaging"

[@1LEgGOdt]

Mantodeavideos T_T... A magazine is below deck not on the main deck. Depth charges are meant to be used. I could care less if I can use them as a trap for enemy ships that are behind me. *Drop depth charges in my wake and let the enemy's BB sail right into them.* or *Drop depth charges in my wake and alter course, then put fish into the water and force the enemy's BB into my depth charges.* or *Drop depth charges in my wake and put fish into the water but to where the ship would be able to dodge the fish but get caught in my net of depth charges I laid behind the fishes.*

[@AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014]

Hey, there's no Edinburgh this time!

[@DarkThunderism]

Great, now I have Smoke on the Water stuck in my head.

[@FragCJ]

it sounds op, guess we know which ship is next to be nerfed so it's nothing like the advertisement...

[@Kingpin6100]

It's not OP. the guns are small enough that the HE only pens 16 mm of armor. That's less than most destroyers have at T8, so you have to use AP, but as soon as they angle, you're screwed.

[@ruedelta]

More on that, Akizuki's DPS is only worth it with a full broadside, which is at a pretty shitty angle. With only two turrets for a front engagement, she really only hits for around 0~300 damage against angled DDs per salvo. Since she's also very large like the soviet DDs, she can't afford to be broadside for too long. She needs support to be effective.

[@Mr.FluffyPig]

wtf I just got this ship yesterday and this video comes out?!?!?

[@imp-agar.ioimpseveryday9590]

This thing isn't destroyer tho it's a light cruiser

[@maryjosavulich5430]

the uss iowa and missuri had a top speed of 35.2 knots not 33 knots

[@alipheesethe16th17]

32,7 knots for missouri en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Missouri_(BB-63) and 33 knots for iowa en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship

[@ezpz_183]

Too bad IJN gunboat line ends up at T8, should've add Michitsuki-class

[@ezpz_183]

Magni56 You know they could alter the main battery range. IMO based on what I've just read on Wiki, the supposedly Super Akizuki would be Tier10. Still, would hard to see this coming to the game as IJN have only few classes of gunboat DD

[@edwardz2964]

That is my waifu !

[@vipercommando231]

Finally Japanese Navy

[@dharmdevil]

72 knots? fastest among destroyer? this guy is nuts. ever heard of 81 knots F3 torps?

[@mayshiratoshi6390]

F3 with TA is the missile with no guilded capability lol sorry about that. it joke lol ya Amarda should forgot about F3 with TA with 81 knot speed.

[@dharmdevil]

nobody cares if TA + F3 is useless AF. the point is this supposed "informational" video's blatant lying of saying 72 knots torps are the fastest.

[@hebi081]

yeah but the torp speed is still wrong. 72 knots is not the fastest on any destroyer. yugomo and shima can fit the F3 torps with 76 knots

[@americana_incarnate1717]

make the uss enterprise a premium ship please we will all be happy

[@grumpyragdoll2640]

And you get 100 hits for 0 damage.

[@drendolnicar9816]

Too bad tier XI isn' as good as this ship.

[@ricecakeFTW]

Tried liking this boat but it was so hard to play with those weak guns and only 4 torps. It's slow and it's rudder shift is slow. At T8, she's weak.

[@Shadowat00]

Weak guns🤔

[@karulean]

*cough*Atlanta*cough*

[@tosyl_chloride]

Karulean TestAccount Akizuki's a mini Atlanta with less guns but better RoF, flat shell trajectory, HE shells that penetrate more than Atlanta's (with new inertia fuse skill), good concealment and no citadel.

[@TheLockonstratos002]

I have her and she is meh the ap and he hardly do any dmg like 2/10 shells will do dmg the others just bounce or get absorbed by the armor

Did I see depth charges??? . . .

[@clarent__]

they're there because she has depth charges in reality , that doesnt mean there will be sub marine in the game at least i hope so

this is nothing compared to harugumo tho

When did the allies sink the real one? O, my bad, it is a make believe digital game.

[@lordredlead2336]

It was built lmao but I'm what u mean

[@treemanlee07]

100mm at T8 is a waste of time...would be better to drop the rate of fire and increase the calibre.

[@Kyumaro]

no...because the 100mm are use for the AA armement,and 100mm waste of time? i easily do 100k damage in game with her,she are a very good destroyer,become a monster with a good commander and are difficult to play

[@tosyl_chloride]

Lee Cross tips #1: learn to use AP shell. this is not the usual HE spamming IJN DD. tips #2: wait for the Inertia Fuze skill in 0.6.0

[@AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014]

[@renzliu100]

[@lordredlead2336]

Wows has both now

[@jn-hj6bq]

I thought Japanese had bad AA

[@Chu-Raya]

Not neccesarily, they had decent AA but not radar guided, so it was less accurate. The reason why Akizuki has pretty good AA was because she was an AA DD in WWII

[@prototype-a9683]

Akizuki's turrets are high-angle mounts, so in reality her main guns would also be able to fire at aircraft as well.

[@HaloPlay100]

Joshua Nguyen their 12.7s that you normally see are quite crap. Short range, but with a good fire rate. The DP guns on DDs had a good range, but low fire rate and traverse and elevation rates. This though, the 10cm L65, can be considered one of, if not the best naval AAA in WW2. Very few other guns compare in rate of fire, range and accuracy. It sacrifices lots of barrel life and some explosive radius, but gains all this, together with a perfectly balanced mount, with good traverse and elevation rates, that could be fit easily in older 12.7cm gunwells. The only guns that can really compare are probably guns like the german 12.8cm, or the Italian 90mm, or the post-war 1950s 5" single mounted guns of the USN.
