ChickenCheeze23 Beta Tester 7 posts 2,517 battles Report post #1 Posted August 28, 2015 Why are the Nagato's guns so bad? It's next to impossible for me to citadel any equal tier BB's and its difficult to get them against tier 6's. I would have expected 2200lb 16 inch shells to have significantly more penetrating power than the Fuso's 14 inch guns but that barely seems to be the case. That topped by the fact that the dispersion is abysmal makes this ship an absolute nightmare to play. Am I just unlucky or is there actually something wrong with them? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SUOLA] Spezct Beta Tester 60 posts 7,329 battles Report post #4 Posted August 28, 2015 My scores Nagato vs Fuso - Seems like hit ratio is +6% compared to Fuso, so cannons are not so inaccurate. - But damage seems to be -7000 on Nagato, but again AVG EXP is almost same... When you get a hull upgrade to Nagato, things start going easier...

Same for me, but I prefer playing brawlers over snipers which suits Nagato so that might be the reason why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OEL] Rabid_Turnip Players 366 posts 13,649 battles Report post #6 Posted August 28, 2015 I liked Fuso, but even fully upgraded the Nagato is just horrible; slow, unmanouverable (you will not be able to dodge any air dropped torps) and woefully inaccurate guns even by current-BB standards which do very little damage compared to their paper stats. A lot of the people saying they liked Nagato are saying it about the CBT iteration of the ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wakazashi Players 1 post 603 battles Report post #7 Posted August 28, 2015 For me the Nagato is an improvement of Fuso. The reduced shell travel time makes it easier to aim at longer distances. I get citadel hits more regular. I'm probably not that good player but really enjoy Nagato and my gameplay has improved with it. Trying to be more offensive when possible. (Had too many games resulting in draws for a period so i changed my playstyle.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaOrange Players 69 posts 4,103 battles Report post #8 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) You Need to play the Nagato with the Main Gun Modification upgrade so you have better accuracy. With that and the rest of the updates the Nagato is a beast of a ship, far outclassing USA tier 7 Colorado. I find the Nagato guns are very accurate and powerful, lots of citadel hits here!

[ROGUE] LeeQuid Players 111 posts 20,789 battles Report post #9 Posted August 29, 2015 Nagato's accuracy is fine, definitely superior to Fuso. Havingless guns with slower reload may falsely lead ppl. to believe that the fuso is more accurate/ has better guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leif_GG_Persson Beta Tester 130 posts 4,948 battles Report post #10 Posted August 30, 2015 To me, Nagato is clearly superior to both Fuso and Kongo in pretty much every way. I haven't played the US battleships so I can't say anything about those. Furthermore, imho, no battleship in this game is a sniper. If you're sniping at 20km with a BB, you're simply doing it wrong. Point your bow at the enemy, angle, and wreck them with your front turrets at 10-12km range. Engage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChickenCheeze23 Beta Tester 7 posts 2,517 battles Report post #11 Posted August 30, 2015 I never play a battleship as a sniper unless I have to, but the Nagato's guns are special. Even at close range they miss and often when I hit the citadel of a ship I can easily penetrate it often doesn't deal citadel damage. I've never had this problem with any of the other Japanese BB's. My luck has been a bit better recently but it still frustrates me to no end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SOCKS] RAMJB Players 790 posts 5,620 battles Report post #13 Posted August 30, 2015 I just unlocked the nagato and had my first 2 games with it. Whoever says this thing has problems with the guns seriously needs a reality check. They're awesomeness incarnate. 114k average damage, 3100 average XP... granted that I spent free XP to unlock the range modification, but good grief this ship is fantastic.
