10 Louprotecteur Members 130 posts 1,378 battles Report post #1 Posted June 28, 2016 Yes ! It is confirmed. Among the new data added to the gamd in 0.5.8 PT game files, ARP Takao is one of them. She seems to wear her white dress, as in when she was stillbpart of Fog before she joins the Blue steel fleet. On a side note the main protagonist of the serie also gets in the game as a captain but I guess most of us are more interested in Takao.

1,753 goldeagle1123 Members 5,424 posts 3,448 battles Report post #12 Posted June 28, 2016 She's not going to have premium bonuses, and they might nerf her torp arc to the standard IJN cruiser torp arc. Also I doubt she'll have a repair party. I don't see why she can't be in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,153 [ARGSY] centarina Members 10,326 posts 16,228 battles Report post #16 Posted June 28, 2016 probably no healing and mogami's torp angle probably. if it keeps the torp angle, then it may be better ship than mogami. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Louprotecteur Members 130 posts 1,378 battles Report post #20 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Or just make a requirement to have the Atago outright I kind of think this would be the best way to get it, but I can already see people screaming about having to pay for something. On top of that, it needs to be identical to the one already in the game as are the current ARP ships so that the people without Yokosuka enabled will see a regular Takao. Unless... it will probably not have access to any camo and not have the credit bonus, and cannot be used as a Japanese trainer. In that sense, the premium Atago could still have it's place.
