depends on your crew....if your crew was high lvl then kongo is good if not will sorry
its sucks...

I dont have my Kongo, i skipped it.
It is only food in GB1 or GB2, you cannot afford a single concerntated shot from BB4 or
above. Somehow most of the BBs in these game are BB4 or above, You can easily died in
game. Nothing is really good no matter you are having 80lv+ crew on Kongo.
Slow speed, Low defense, Low fire power, Extra Low AA power.

I work on my Kita till 68 for Fuso.

In fact, range and power is everything in BB world, but every BB1 got worst of
these......XD

from lvl 39 to 68 with mogami and well myoko too but they're kinda the same
after i couldnt get in blitz anymore i mounted the level 32 guns and started AAing, once
in a while i could get close to hit a BB or a CV and sometimes i used the CV remodel but
not a lot since the BBs complain that the mogami cv isnt a real cv and it sucks blah blah
blah, but once you get to the fuso it will be great! i've even done 100k damage with it oh
and btw i stickied with the fuso until i got the yamato, a little bit more range wasnt
worth it for me.
Still if you like it... use it, hide behind a big BB4/5 and kill everything that comes
close then when theres 3 or less BBs rush to try to kill whatever is left.

for those saying the kongo is a bigger target over mogami CAs etc, I've seen plenty of BBs
shoot at aganos and DDs before targeting the BBs, just saying...

There are no valid reason to skip it.

Kongo is a correct BB1, with what you can expect from one.

murder CAs and fight other BB1s. In GBs, if you have some skills already you can take down
BB2-3 sometimes.

Kongo's spread is good enough at level (guns are like 54, what I mean at level is gunner
60, not at gun level, just to be clear) with decent damage and reload times.

If its your first BB1, you just bid your time in it, and learn the BB basics. If its not,
then you bid your time in it, waiting for the really fun fuso.

It doesnt have at level issues like USN BB1s, so you will most likely prey on them till
they reach lvl 65. Then they'll prey on you lol,

Overall I found the Kongo a good BB1, but incredibly tasteless. There are no particular
tactics with it, just apply the basic at the best you can. In this, I suppose its a great
school ship, compared to USN and KM that force you to learn hit and run and Revenge who
teach you that 15" hurt (and makes your life maybe a bit too easier for a BB1 :P)

LOL. Just lol. Just plain and simple, lol. By the time you have the 14" guns in the Kongo
that can load ammo, you'd have a Ise/Fuso with it's clearly superior 6 battery mounts.
Argument invalid.

Since you're a BB1, pick up the scraps of whatever you can get your hands on. If the
opportunity is right, use your semi-decent AA mounts, shoot down that scout, and get in
and out. THAT, gentlemen is what BB1s are for. You might be able to pick this skill up in
Ise/Fuso, however, if you learn the skill now, many of the BB# walls could be, and should
shattered in Ise/Fuso.

I would stick with the Mogami CA and use the 8inch guns that are the, I think, the
FD variants which have a nice range and very good reload.

Now hang with the BB4s and 5s in Grand Battle and you will find yourself attacking a
lot of smaller ships that try to approach the BB line. It is also good aiming practice
too. A lot of times, because you are not a BB, they won't target you first - so that
helps - whereas if you are a Kongo (or any other BB1) they'll target you in a
moments notice.

Sometimes (actually a lot of times) you will be able to get into range with the
Mogami and because the FDs have good reload - you can unleash quite a number of
salvos before they actually respond. Usually they are worried about other BBs, so
this will give you good attack scores. With the Kongo's 14s you will have too long of
a reload and too poor of a spread to get good scores.


And if you haven't done so already, if you have a little money, I would suggest
boosting your gunners - I know it helped a lot.

When you get to the Ise and Fuso - these are some of the funnest ships to play.
You will greatly enjoy them.

So I shouldn't try to hit the big targets first until I hit Ise or Fuso? i want to get the
best exp

Why skip the best bb1 in the game??
