Kongo module advice

[Helstrem]

I just got my Kongo and would like to know what the recommended order of upgrades is.  I was thinking of doing speed, then hull and lastly range.  What is the highest priority?

Speed, cause 30knts for the win, Hull, then range, as your range is already great from the start.

i would put the hull first. it upgrades both your AA and your rudder shift, both of which are vital for survival in the constant uphill battle that is T5. then speed. range is the least necessary.

[cheereereerios]

The hull first, which is probably always the answer for battleships. On Kongo, you get:

 

More hit points;

Improved torpedo protection;

Better main battery - improved reload, turret traverse, damage, and accuracy;

Better secondary - improved range;

Better AA;

Faster rudder shift.

 

And for all that, you still have a 24.9 knot top speed, which is plenty for a Tier 5 BB.

A Beta tester & you just got to an Ijn tier 5 BB? Are you playing for free? Without spending money? Good for you , if you are.

I have a family and work 70 hours a week.  I don't pay for premium time because it would mostly go to waste.

I also take long breaks when other priorities come up.

 

Edit:

I also really did not enjoy the Myogi and that caused me to stop playing.  Didn't help that I stupidly, despite not playing CVs, researched Hosho before Kongo.

I went for hull first, then speed and radar. But then I did have enough EXP for both speed and radar at the same time. Though she gains much needed HP with the hull upgrade, Kongo is still very fragile for a BB as I've gotten a game or two where I took 25k damage by eating a full broadside of AP shells. -_-

 

The Myogi was bad? Kawachi was a nightmare for me. I literally felt like trying to hit birds with pebbles with those horrid cannons, but what can you expect for the first BB available? And I get ya for not going premium, because when you spend at least 9 hours a day at work on rotating schedules, there's just no point for the investment of one.
