Just got mine and sold it.

Speaking from a position of morbid curiosity, how much did it sell for?

1.7 million.

[El_Judarino]

 

1.7 million.

 

As an obsessive collector I won't sell it, but I certainly understand why you or anyone else would! 

[Tachnechdorus]

Its kind of a disappointment way too slow..........

[Sabot_100]

Which is why it is tier 3.

[Landing_Skipper]

It's the cruiser version of the Mikasa... without the amusing secondaries. 

[anonym_xgAO60ZDNRAq]

It is slow and the guns are terribad but the  torpedos are awesome, 7k at tier 3! I don't think any destroyer has 7k torps at tier 3

You can't really hate Katori for being Katori, because she was never designed as a combat ship in the first place.

 

She's a training cruiser that was not counted for total displacement limits set by naval treaties.

Katorie sure is fun ship, probably one of my best T3 cruiser xD (don't mind the skin )

Only played one game with the Katori in PvE and had a blast. OMG so slow but the gun range makes up for it. The best part about the ship for me was the free 5 point captain that I will train up for a different ship. IMHO there are very few premium ships that need their own captain, Atlanta and Nikolai. Everyone else I can find a captain from my other ships to use.

This ship is a disappointment for the time and trouble it takes to acquire it. Way too slow...sluggish turns and way to easy to damage engine and steering. Torps are crap too used them against a St. Louis and hardly did any damage. Time for the scrapyard.

Time and trouble?  40,000 xp in a month?  That doesn't require any dedicated effort for most people.  You got it in less that 6 days...good for you, but your choice.

 

It is a free ship, there is no time or trouble.

That speed though...  Kawachi is no longer the slowest IJN ship.

[DiegoDeathDancer_]

I have had great games and really bad games in her. In my humble opinion because she is so slow the guns which are cool and fun with the aiming mod upgrade need just a bit more buff. If they changed the captain skills for Expert Marksman, Basic fire training, and Advanced fire training from a 139mm limit to a 140mm limit the ship would be more consistently awesome. Also maybe 2 to 3 more knots of torpedo speed and maybe add an engine boost consumable so she can at least hit 20 knots with a speed flag when she needs to.  These changes to Captain skills would help the Tier 4 Yubari as well.

Hilarious ship with my 14pt Akizuki Capt. IPHE in tier 3 for the lulz.

[Cpt_Cupcake]

I like it, I treat it like a sniper with that 76mm dispersion at max range, the torps in my opinion are handy when I get surprised by things lurking behind islands. Downside, I can't Leroy Jenkins as much as I like so... my WR is actually good lol.

[BullHalsey]

Wasn't even aware I was getting it until I did.  One match and sold.  If other players would stay with you and not run off it might be useful enough to keep, but it's SC slow with no armor to speak of so you can hang that one up.  The mod zero for the main guns was interesting, though.  Need that on my FDG!

​+1 this. Sneeze with any decent premium ship and the game throws it at you.

It's unique for a tier III.  A true LONG range sniper.  If you can hold the range open, the slow speed's not quite so much of a handicap.  Torps are for defense only.  My first battle I tried to move to the front of the battle to use them and found myself deleted easily.  Later games, I managed to keep WAY back and use the good guns and their wide firing arcs to pound from a distance.  I've also noticed that, at least in Tier III, if you are far back you are either out of range or just not prioritized and the other team leaves you alone (needed as the ship has no armor to speak of).  I haven't played this much yet, but I anticipate this as a "warm up" ship to play with low-stress and get back into the warship mind-set at the start of a gaming session.

 

40k XP is dirt cheep, especially in a Month.  I anticipate seeing a lot of these floating around.  I personally won't be selling it.

[Taylor3006]

Heck I got 40k xp playing a couple of days in Coop! It really wasn't all that difficult to get and imagine anyone playing PvP shouldn't have any problem.

Decent cap defender- slow speed makes it hard to dictate action, but when defending, torps and HE spamming makes it pretty strong.  If things are going sour for the team, or you are in the wrong place - not so good....

That last part is true for any light cruiser isn't it?
