No, I will not accept "She's a turd" as a reason to not buy her. Unfortunately I am getting her for both her unique play-style and the fact that she is the last step in the ladder to get to Yamato. ~Hunter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't tell since I've never even seen gameplay but the rear-facing turret seems like it'd barely need you to angle at all to fire it. And even if it does it'd allow you to easily shoot at two or three seperate targets per salvo. Edited October 1, 2016 by Stratego89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the play-style isn't all that different from what you'd expect out of an Atago or a Myoko. Is fire and wiggle. She has tough enough armor to do that ~Hunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even if it does it'd allow you to easily shoot at two or three seperate targets per salvo. The 3rd turret needs a bit of wiggle to bring on-target with the other guns, so you're better off using it on something more to your flank, because Izumo is too fat and slow to wiggle efficiently.
