The thing I learned from British CAs with the additional heal is hit and run. You're gonna take heaps of initial damage but if you disengage and heal up you can come back and do it again to a degree other ships can't necessarily. In addition you can make use of that high fire chance after they've burned their DCs.
Black Hipper was the last tier 8 premium/black ship I recall. That was around last December/January. Came out after Repulse I believe, with black Izmail.
I had a lvl 12 Commander in my tech tree Takao, so I retrained him with new skills . The Rapid Reloaded APCS really makes short work of destroyers with high alpha damage at any range except extreme close of under 4.5/5 KM and can citadel other cruisers within 7/ 7.5KM close range . Im playing battles much better than my tech tree Takao. Thanks for the review Terry.
I was super excited to see this review. I normally do not go for the blitz pass ships but Takao is one of my favs and I love the smoke. Thanks again for the great video and morning laughs.
I like this one! I've been doing well w/ HE citadel hits as well!🤗 The additional repair module is cool & something I'd like to see more use of as a buff for other ships...
Best value for blitz pass, besides the repluse blitz pass. Edit: I prefer the aggressive style of this ship since I am a aggressive player in WoWs blitz
I got one as well. I also built mine for stealth, except I added propulsion in Slot 2. Great ship imo, I enjoyed playing this ship. I haven't played since I got but I'll be playing that thing soon.
I missed to buy it and now i dont think i could buy blitz pass But i got black shokaku tonight with 10 steel and titanium so bit happy off course i am not playing cv frequently but then to its good deal so i crack it Your videos are like how and what is role of that ship so new players can be more confident on that ship Really nice work terry bro 👏 👍
It depends on the situation. Enemy team allowing, you can play anything aggressively. IJN CAs are by nature more disposed towards kiting / ambush, and can be taken down pretty easily when focused on. Of course, if you've got an isolated BB to play with, it's perfectly viable to rush them, and a Takao has enough torpedo firepower to deal a severe burst. Just don't expect to survive if they have backup :)
I loved the IJN cruiser up until Myoko, hated it. I got this and this taught me how to play them. Now I’m pretty ok with myoko and B Takao… my problem was too aggresive. This allowed me to be aggresive but reined me in enough. Im assuming HE+ instead of APCS
@FunandgameswithTerry I got inspired by your vids and have been trying to make my own on whether you should get the Aoba, but I have been finding it hard on making voice overs and other things. Do you know any tips or tricks and an editing tool which could make this easier? Thanks!
Here's a video on how I make reviews, with links to the free software I use in the description: ua-cam.com/video/Qu2si4vo_rw/v-deo.html I don't script my voiceover, but it's different for everyone. If you're struggling, it can help to take some notes, and some people prefer to write down a full script and read off it as well. I use a PC for all audio & video work, and a phone for recording only. I'm starting both recordings in sync, i.e. video on the phone & audio on PC, that way, when I'm editing, I just have to line up the files. I know a fair few people who do all the work on mobile devices, but I'm not super familiar with the best choice of software there. For screen recording, I just use the built-in Android screen recorder, I've found AZ recorder to be a good alternative if you need a facecam.
The torp angle look good on it, maya got like half it seems 😂 Definitely a good pick, even the fuel smoke agressiv thing in t8 is heavily dependent on the enemy’s.. in t6 maybe black leander its deadly in right hands, but at least they didnt give it the damn plane 😂
The BT turned me pretty quickly. Been doing 70k ish dmg consistently, and have broken 100k several times. The traverse is my one complaint (gun and ship) but otherwise it’s doing what I want it to do.
I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure Takao has the same angles. They're not great, but better than Myoko's. Generally better towards the rear, which fits the kiting style
That moron enemy team in the 2nd game is basically the headless chooks I get stuck with. I have taken numerous 100k damage 3 to 4 kill losses in my black tak because of teams like that

best value for $15 I’ve spent on this game imo

I'm glad this was the first time I spent for the blitz pass. Great ship

Best improvement by any black ship imo
With those brutal torp angles, that smoke makes a big difference.
I play Takao mostly at range, but I agree, the smoke allows her to be a lot more useful to the team at times
Hope you and your family is doing good Terry
Wishing you good days ahead

You can still buy the blitz pass.
Oh black shokaku is for 10 steel and 10titanium?

YeahBouy has some videos with Japanese heavy cruisers. He seems to like playing them aggressively and using torpedoes.

Thanks Terry, if you have Gunichi Mikawa you can get 3 smoke and 3 reload … as always greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

@@FunandGameswithTerry THANK YOU!:> Btw, on your opinion, would u get the Aoba?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the torp angles look a lot better than usual Japanese cruiser's.
I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure Takao has the same angles. They're not great, but better than Myoko's. Generally better towards the rear, which fits the kiting style
Yup, same angles. Although they look pretty balanced now, I somehow remember the rear ones to be better.
I haven’t had a lot of luck in this one. The Italian bbs hurt a lot….
You have to make sure to hit them with your torps to stand half a chance.
That moron enemy team in the 2nd game is basically the headless chooks I get stuck with.
I have taken numerous 100k damage 3 to 4 kill losses in my black tak because of teams like that
I have this ship, along with the GD turret bug that came with. Do not play it.
