Another Atago owner post.

Got Takao and find out its complete clone of Atago. Was hoping for some more differences.

So, WG giving free clone of competitive T8 cruiser, people must be happy, best gift so far?

 

Other people have Atago, I have completely upgraded and 18 points captain skills. I would definitely not trade it for Takao. In other words, ARP Takao is completely useless for Atago owner, while for rest gamers it might the best free gift so far.

Other ARP ships was giving You chance save port slot and get credits while selling clones, but Atago is premium ship cost me 50'ish Euros, wouldnt be fair sell it for 8M credits. And You took out her advantage as limited ship from a game.

Disappointing

There are many players in this game who don`t have an Atago. For them, is welcomed. Me, for example, i have atago and i don`t care about Takao, i don`t switch to yokosuka. But friends of mine. don`t have atago so they have fun in a atago without cammo :)

I'm not sure if you can compare Atago's value to Takao's value. Atago is a premium ship with ability to use IJN captains and increased credits income. Takao in the other hand can use cartoon captains and has regular credit income and no premium camo.... I think that people should be able to sell their ARP ships if they want, but they're really not comparable to premium ships.

I've got an Atago and I couldn't care less about the Takao.

 

In fact I'd wager it messed up alot of people in Ranked as I really doubt any who took it into this season's games knew what they were doing with a new ship.

my atago is set up with survival skills, not going for concealment. when i got takao i did set up that one with concealment build (16pt. hiei), getting down to 9.4km. as that still is way lower than my 11.5 (or 7?) atago i take it as free alternative :medal:

I find it funny how the reason for buying premium ships has gone from "I paid so I don't have to grind for it and it makes me extra credits and xp, etc." to: "OMG now people get a ship that's as good as my premium! This is unfair!"

What those differences would be?

I am pretty happy, yes.

 

Other people have Atago, I have completely upgraded and 18 points captain skills. I would definitely not trade it for Takao. In other words, ARP Takao is completely useless for Atago owner, while for rest gamers it might the best free gift so far.

 

 

Remember that ARP ships are collaboration between two companies, and not just ho  ho ho free ships. An Atago owner that is fan of ARP will find it rewarding simply for the extra Takao voice over (plus it is collector item)

 

Other ARP ships was giving You chance save port slot and get credits while selling clones, but Atago is premium ship cost me 50'ish Euros, wouldnt be fair sell it for 8M credits. And You took out her advantage as limited ship from a game.

 

 

I dont see your point. If you dont need Takao what is actually your problem? I mean you keep your Atago premium status (with extra credits and retraining IJN captains)

I'll welcome 2nd Atago in my port, will set her up with gear mod 3 :D

But it would be great to get ARP Takao camo for Atago, but i guess it would be troublesome to implement.

From min/maxing pov, wouldn't it be better to swap ships aroud?? You can't get 3% concealment bonus from camo on Takao.

I'm not a very butthurt person but it actually bothers me that the free ship is as good as the premium one...

I guess I can understand some of the rage as the Atago is one of the most expensive Prem ships in the game and now everyone can have one...

Yes, it is indeed as good... if you ignore smaller income... and lack of camouflages... and not being able train IJN captains. Other than that its an exact clone. Quite a few people are buying premiums for their increased income, not because they're outright better than silver ships.

You counted on more differences? SERIOUSLY?!

 

Ok, let me check what differences did Kongo and Myoko clones have? Oh, right. NONE.

 

The only difference are unique captain and unchangeable camo. If you counted on some other differences, you were simply naive if not downright stupid.

 

It has the exact same functionality in battle as premium Atago, save for income and camo, and yet you still whine. It is a free ship, for crying out loud, and it can be acquired in a rather reasonable mission, unlike marathons in WoT. 

Besides - look at this that way - if somebody DOESN'T have the Atago, Takao is a good trial ship - example of more or less what Atago is all about.

Whilst the Atago offers crew training and better credits earning potential if the Takao was out first then I wouldn't have paid the £30 or so for the Atago. 

 

As the Atago is the only high tier IJN cruiser I ever intend on using and I don't need the credits as I've got plenty of other earners.

None of the ARP ships are needed.

 

WG need to stop wasting time and effort on this crap.

 

Hey I've got no issues with ARP stuff. I've got enough free port slots from it for at least two lines of future ships (assuming a low, mid and high tier keeper on each line)

No regular camo either. Atago thus has an advantage in form of better concealment. Thus, the stealth firing band on fully concealed Takao is going to be very thin and situational in terms of usefulness, while Atago can stealth fire much more often than Takao.

​The Advantage is near unfelt the real is if you do not use Hiei on her and have higher detectable thogh you tend to Play more safe too i had around 80  games in Atago never a game over 100is k because the good camo allways make me Play DD suport and gets me killed early because i Play too agresiv.... on Takao i had a 194k game in my 1st few Matches.
