Recommended captain skills and improvement for Mikasa

[Avrova1904]

I have just got a Mikasa. The ship model is amazing and sometimes fun to play. What captain skills and improvement would you recommend me to play this ship?

 

Thank you in advance

This topic is your friend as LittleWhiteMouse did an excellent write up on the Mikasa. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/58354-mouses-quick-summary-of-premium-ships/

1: Take the following upgrade: Auxillary Armaments Mod. 1.

 

2: Take the following captain skills:

Tier 1= BFT for faster reloading secondaries and Situational Awareness for when the DDs try to torp you and Basics of Survivability to better counter HE spammers.

Tier 2=  Fire Prevention to counter the HE spammers and Expert Loader to switch between shells faster.

Tier 3= Superintendent for an extra health pack or Vigilance if you're a torpedophobe.

Tier 4= AFT for better secondaries.

Tier 5= Manual Secondaries for better secondaries.

 

3: Take the following flags: Mike Yankee Soxisix, Hotel Yankee, Zulu, India Delta, India Yankee, Victor Lima, India X-Ray, Sierra Mike.

 

4: Equip Premium consumables.

 

5: Play as a hyper-aggressive secondary boat and DD killer. Run in head-on and let loose with your secondaries. Load HE for the DDs and AP for everything else. Get in close and melt down everything with your secondaries.

 

6: ?????

 

7: Profit.

Covered by LWM for all Premiums, plus a good explanation right above.

 

As a Premium ship, you do not assign a permanent captain. The ideal captain is one with faster turret traverse (EM), and AFT.

Flags and such, anything that reinforces secondaries.

Thank you for your suggestions. I didn´t know about the LittleWhiteMouse guides. They are really useful.
