Unarmored. DD/CL = arm torps.

The ship sucks, so don't expect much out of it.

Use the 7.9s, they are better, i think. Their only problem is the low ammo supply, as
u poited out yourself.

If your gunners are good, use light ammo, my gunners were useless so i went for
heavy back in my Agano days. (light won't do too much damage to close-cruising
DDs)

I think it is worthless to use armour on your agano, go for higher speed instead and
try to keep DDs at bay. (withdaw with covering fire until torps reload, it is a good
tactics for the Agano)

Always try not to be the first in the line - the Agano is fat and has no armour at all,
so ask people to be in front of u or maneuver to make it happen - you can be slightly
behind with the superior range of the 7.9s.

Good luck

kudos to the agano user

its a wonder people still plays agano in face of all the new dds

Good, and always remember that Jap armor is horrible, so you need to always(if
possible) keep someone between you and the enemy while fighting, or just stay out
of their range.

I switched after playing a lot lastnight to the 7.9 they are the better option. I was
using the normal shell but will try out the light ones.

i am getting better with the plane

"My problem with range is that my bo' s los is about 2 or 3" too short. I can have the
plane hang out there but its not so easy keeping it where it needs to be.

what is it about the 7.9 that makes it better? range/damage? what about spread
issues
with 3 less shells?

Same thing with my BO, you learn to deal with it. And you need to learn to control
the plane, It is extremely important when you hit CA.


7.9 have more range and damage with light than 6.1 with heavy, the spread isnt all
that bad, you should be able to hit with at least 2 out of 6 shells each time with low
lvl gunners.

I kept my tsukeki for that very reason.

From exp, use the dual 7.9 B D, enough ammo and hit hard at max range ~500s

Use light ammo.

Play dd/cl or cl only.

Minimum armor because you need the speed. You may want to use the cv engine,
but ive been told by higher lvl players than me that it is not worth it.

(Im only lvl 43)

Drop the torps.

Concentrate on big targets only, if a dd comes at you, have someone better vs dds
get in between you and fight it. you can then shoot it from beyond its range and
help your dd.

If you dont fight well vs cls, get rid of agano and use akitsuki/tsukeki. they are
better vs dds.
