33 Globemaster1998 Members 184 posts 4,030 battles Report post #1 Posted March 4, 2017 I have recently unlocked the T8 Japanese Destroyer IJN Akizuki and I was wondering what skills I should get for her captain? I played her with the captain from the IJN Shiratsuyu but I figured that I should recruit a new captain because the Akizuki is more of a gunboat than a stealth destroyer like her predecessors. What skills should I get for her captain that would fit this Japanese gunboat? Lvl 1: Priority Target, Preventive Maintenance, Expert Loader, Incoming Fire Alert. Lvl 2: High Alert, Jack of All Trades, Expert Marksman, Smoke Screen Expert, Adrenaline Rush, Last Stand. Lvl 3: Basics of Survivability, Survivability Expert, Torpedo Armament Expertise, Basic Firing Training, Superintendent, Demolition Expert, Vigilance. Lvl 4: Fire Prevention, Inertia Fuse for HE shells, Advanced Firing Training, Radio Location, Concealment Expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always run Premium consumables and usually don't take Superintendent, at least on the first pass. Akizuki is so slow that the extra engine boost is worth 3 points. RL is the last 4 point skill to consider. I use it on some stealthy torp boats, but there are better uses for those skill points on Akizuki. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the weekend sale on re-specing captain's skill, I went back to my flamethrower build for a couple days: http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/0100000000000011000001100000100119 Superintendent for an extra engine boost is good since she's so slow. Adreneline Rush is hysterical on this ship... However, the IFHE build just works better for me in terms of damage and winning: http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/1100000000000001000000100010100119 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
