for the Aoba what would you get for the 2nd captain skill.  The traditional skill is torpedoes since the long loading time.  However with the Japanese cruisers the turret time is so long.  thanks

Turret time is better IMO since the torps are purely situational

Expert Marksman. Heavy cruisers should be using their guns for the vast majority of the time, and since Aoba is a very maneuverable ship as well you can't go wrong with making the turrets turn faster.

 

OTOH torpedos on IJN heavies tend to be situational weapons. There'll be plenty of matches where one doesn't use the torpedoes at all. So Torpedo Armament Expertise is not an optimal use of points.

IMO, on CA's, its always the turret rotation for the 2nd skill..

For me at least, I found I started doing much better in Cruisers that had torpedo's when I stopped trying to get into position to use them. Your guns are your primary weapon, planning to use torpedo's tend to put you in bad positions. The torpedo upgrades are nice, but only after you've worked on your guns.

Turret rotation.

Important for CAs as you cannot upgrade their RoF, at least you can help aiming the turrets while turning the ship.
