IJN Akizuki | Flipped Review | War Thunder

[@ousou78]

One of my favorite ship. Akizuki is still on my lineup when I use the Hyuga. My crew is almost aced on this ship so loading time fuse on the main guns and letting your AI controle them create a 5km no flight zone around you. Sometimes fast planes can enter the 5km radius but then it's the 25mm that will vaporise anything flying 3km from you.

[@ghostarmy1106]

Everybody be saying the time fuze shells are shit, but i yeeted once in a custom battle a phantom out of the sky with my kiyohimo

[@ryanfreeman5083]

@@ghostarmy1106 Time fuze feels garbage, do you need really good crews?

[@helljumper4565]

What did you upgrade to make akizuki a solid AA ship?

[@FrancisJohnDYbas]

@@helljumper4565 upgrading the crew i just maxed the aa crew and use seath ammo. And it got 28 kills on aicraft in custom battles. Just Max the crew and the commander and especially the A.A reload speed... and upgrade them to crew mastery to make them op. Always remember to use akizuki as a support ship... and its a perfect ship to hit and run tactics.... always use smoke screen and torpedoes when fleeing.

[@TomPrickVixen]

I'd just like to add 1 more thing: the 100mm shells are too weak to "hull beak" any PT boat! So multiple hits needed to take one out!

[@lordwintertown8284]

Hm was that a post 2.01 thing as I remember in 1.99 that 3.9" mounts could hullbreak an the only cannon that couldn't was the early British 4" as the lordite amount was like only 900 grams an hullbreak need above 1.4kg tnt. Still with 2.01 DM's hullbreak may as well be removed as but 2-3 salvos is enough with these 3.9" mounts.

[@TomPrickVixen]

@@lordwintertown8284 At 1st I thought the "hull break" was based on the amount of explosive filler of the shell, but for example the 102mm guns on the Groza never could "hull break" a PT boat despite its HE has a 2.1 kg TNT filler, while the British Mark 16/102 mm could (and still can) with less!

[@Halo1111Halo]

daka daka for smaller guns and being able to face 5.7s, oh and not even being that good as a AA destroyer, seems like a bargain

[@DetectivePardo]

I mean with the introduction of battleships its very unlikely for the Akizuki to be upteird to 5.7

[@ianvital8834]

@@DetectivePardo trust me you'll be paired with 5.0 and 5.7 you can sink them using that with the turps it has

[@rpscorp9457]

@@DetectivePardo This pans out for the most part..ive rarely hit 5.7s. Even when you do though, there are plenty of smaller ships around and its AA is pretty much top notch for its BR. You do have to play pretty conservatively though, can just go in guns blazing unless your in a DT.

[@kingcamilo]

The mulptile cannons are deadly, they might be weak but the amount of shells is what gets them

@@AlphonseZukor In my experience it is quite tanky but often gets randomly one shoted especialy by russian Tashkent. Also I dont know where and how to aim at ships to do most damage.

[@pramudyaardhika3858]

Yeah Kako it's extremely tanky on her B.r and can deal heavy damage if you manage to land hit on destroyer(manage to destroy Eugene once with this ship), the problem is it have horrible accuracy, so i really advice to targetting ship who are located under 6km from you, and if you alreary good enough you can use it as moving bunker (watch for torp tho, make sure it always hit the middle of your hull), and oh her torp is useless

Please make a video on the Agano I'm suffering so much using it specially after the shell nerf. Japan's 5br void is awful and my grind is stuck because of it.

[@ThatZenoGuy]

Also as I explained before the HE belt doesn't 'really' do the most damage, it actually has the worst shells in said belt. Technically they have a higher fire chance but a flaming fighter can still bomb you.

For some reason, Im having to fire at almost the bottom of my screen for my shots to hit. Whenever I aim where I usually aim in arcade, my shots are always going high, where in arcade, they would usually hit. Can you help?

[@flippedstug9517]

In Arcade, your aiming disatance is automatically set to the enemy's distance when a shell hits the water. In Realistic, you have to manually scroll up and down to adjust the aiming distance, which is displayed to the right of the cursor.

I might do that, I tried it and it played really well, though I normally avoid playing 5.0 right now due to the uptiers.

[@ThatZenoGuy]

Sad that Gaijin insists on calling it a good AA cruiser when it fails on almost all accounts. Firstly its long ranged AA lacks proximity fuses, which ingame are infinitely more useful and harder to dodge. Secondly while it has 8 guns and they fire rapidly, they are also relatively weak and overall pump out less HE per minute than a basic sumner class who'll be spitting out VT fuses with even higher ROF per gun. Lastly while it has lots of AA guns, they have a pretty short maximum range, and the US DD's will be pumping out lead entire kilometers further out, giving you more chance to survive a bomb hit. Overall the thing could be 4.3 in the current state and it'd be fine, it cannot even really damage USN DD's in areas. Edit: This could be avoided by giving he Aki its prototype VT fuses Japan had built thousands of. Before anyone complains the game already features prototype rounds in the form of the 1911 SAP shells Russia gets. Official dialogue from Gaijin devs states "as long as the gun COULD fire something, it should have the shells". AKA, HEAT-FS for IS2 too lol.
