First Kaga Impressions

[SeaKnight_1990]

So I went and spend $43 on the Kaga, and took her out into a co-op game. We won, with me getting the final shots in on the enemy Kaga. I also damaged a Dunkerque. Some of my impressions of the ship and IJN carriers:

The torpedo speed takes some getting used to.

So does the large number of air groups. I'm used to selecting my torpedo planes from USN carriers.

Because of the last thing, the longer servicing times will require adjustment. 

 

I plan to continue playing her in co-op until I master her. For captain skills, I'm thinking ASX, XRG, TAE, and Asup. 

 

Oh, and one more thing: is it worth free XPing past Myogi to play IJN carriers?

[Unabletony]

Not if you're going down the BB line too. You just need about 20 games in Myogi and you're through. Personally, save the FreeXP for the carrier modules themselves.

[Lonewolfpj]

Yeah I would not recommend free XP past ships. I have done it before and regret it.

Yeah I would not recommend free XP past ships. I have done it before and regret it.

 

Except for the Danae...I XP'd past that one.

If anything, make sure you play Hosho, Zuiho, and Ryujo before you EVER take Kaga out into randoms.

No problem.

Kaga's torp speed isn't representative of the IJN CV line, and they are actually the fastest air dropped torps in the game. Normal IJN TB torps behave very similar to USN TB torps, except they converge instead of spread out on manual drops.

 

Kaga's servicing times are slightly longer than the Hiryu, and faster than the Ranger. It does take longer to get an IJN air wing into the air because of all the squadrons. If your air wing doesn't need to land all at once, the turn around is quite fast.

 

As others have stated, it's better to grind thru a ship, and free XP some upgrades on the new ship than to free XP through a ship. This goes double for IJN CV's, you're gonna want the "Type X Mod 2" flight control as soon as possible.(X being the tier of the ship)

 

I'd also look at Dogfighting Expert to help your fighters out, the Kaga's fighters are going to usually be a lower tier than her opponents, and can probably make good use of the help.

Cant decided if i should pull the trigger and get the Kaga or not.

[Zero__Karma]

Get it. Crazy fun ship. 

[SloppyJ0e]

I'm having fun in the Kaga

Got the Deluxe package, so I could buy 5K doub premium camo for the Yamato.

You know...   the Kaga Flag looks incredibly sharp as hell.
