As a long time Yubari owner all I can say is if you can play DDs and tolerate armor that can't bounce a check then you'll enjoy this T4 training cruiser.

256 AyanoMidori Members 480 posts 4,737 battles Report post #2 Posted January 16, 2018 Looks like a unique little cruiser I'd love to play with my low tier noob friends. Also Yubari isn't a training cruiser. She's an experimental scout cruiser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vs dd may find hard sincw they too agile, the gun may tickle the bb and laugh. Hehe.god i hate that ship DD aren't agile enough for her guns. I hit a moving, maneuvering DD with every salvo at 8km or less. Multiple hits cripple the DD and it then dies fast. Her agility confounds opposing DD. Yubari is best at setting BB afire - repeatedly. I like to use Yamamoto on her and watch the twin pair of tracers fly straight to the target. Little to no dispersion at all. Her AA is very affective against TB making them deliver spread patterns that Yub-yub can drive thru. Most DB miss, too. Timing the use of the AA consumable is critical. For those thinking of her she is hilarious fun. But you HAVE to WASD all the time or you'll give some BB driver an orgasm with a dev strike!

As for setting fires?...."campfire burning, campfire burning, ...." And she shoots down planes like a champ....if your not killing planes with her then your positioning is wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mount the dispersion module. If you can't get them to work then it's operator error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

900 vonKaiser Alpha Tester 2,902 posts 6,252 battles Report post #24 Posted January 16, 2018 The Yubari is one of the true cruisers that will teach you gunnery. It's so accurate that if you're aim isn't 100% on target you're gonna miss what you're trying to hit. Other ships you can be a little off and dispersion and RNG will allow you to land a shell or two, try to do that with the Yubari though and those shells will fall into the water. Now, that being said. Yubari as a whole, is not a bad cruiser, it just needs to be played like the squishy floating citadel that it is. If you're out in the open using range and maneuvering to avoid damage, well that's only going to work for so long until that one shell comes in from out of nowhere, smacks you in the aft and says "surprise, Citadel". You want to play it like an Atlanta or a USN Gunboat DD. Find an island, hug it, hide behind it, lob your shells up over the top of it at the BB's who fire too flat to return fire. Against enemy DD's you want to use your accuracy, guns and ROF to pepper them from bow to stern and push them off the cap zones. You don't want to push against them too much though because this opens you up to return fire from BB's and enemy cruisers but the HE for only 4 shells will do a surprising amount of damage. I've actually retired my Yubari. 14 game 49k average damage and 14 wins. Just don't' wanna mess up her numbers lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
