Izumo upgrades

[Captain_Dilbert]

Does anyone have recommendations (and why would be most helpful and appreciated) for Slot 3.  The options are:

 

Gun Fire Control System Mod 2  (16% increase to range)

Main Battery Mod 3  (12% to main battery load and -13% to main turret traverse speed)

AA Guns Mod 3 (+25% to AA damage per second)

Secondary Battery Mod 3 (-20% to secondary battery load time)

 

I took Aiming systems Mod 1

I have 15 (soon to be 16) point commander with Expert Marksman, AFT, and Manual FIre Control

I think I will take Target Acquisition in Slot 6, but not sure.  

 

Ideally I would like to set this up for my eventual Yamato and expect I will keep the same captain and could transfer the more expensive upgrades.

 

Thanks in advance for suggestions and comments.

Main Battery Mod 3 - Turrets turn fast enough that it isn't an issue and you need the extra firepower

Everyone already gave good advice so I'll be less productive. 

 

The best upgrade for Izumo is replacing her with Yamato.

MBM3 you desperately need it to be competitive.

 

Range is already pretty good but if you add the range be aware that your dispersion on long range sucks (not it a good way) So you are actually just paying for the privilege of missing more shots.

AA?, All right so you may be able to shoot down one or two extra planes in a game IF you run into a CV, which is about a fifty fifty shot. But so what? Your against T9 and T10 CV's with complete upgrades. Is one less torpedo in the storm any help? Its not like you can turn fast enough to avoid them. So the AA is a waste.

Secondary Battery Reload? You actually have pretty good secondaries but will a couple of extra rounds save your life? In the vast majority of battles the answer is no. At this Tier you are usually dead from fires. torps or long range pounding before you get in the knife fight range where the secondaries thrive. If you want good secondaries just pick the proper captain skills and you'll be fine.
