Mikasa, Agincourt
- Both Mikasa and Agincourt are low tier secondary focused BBs
- Mikasa currently serves as a museum ship; the last example of a pre-dreadnought battleship anywhere in the world.
- Agincourt wasn’t as lucky, having been scrapped due to the Washington Naval Treaty
- Both BBs use a full secondary build with IFHE
- No concealment necessary due to the close quarters nature of low tiers
- ERE is less useful due to the quick nature of low tier games
- IFHE allows Mikasa secondaries to pen 16mm armor common to Tier 3 BBs
- IFHE also lets Agincourt’s 152mm secondaries to pen 31mm, sufficient for T7 BBs
- Both BBs play as typical secondary BBs. You get into people’s face and (hopefully) melt them with secondaries before they melt you. Timing is important. Rushing too early gets you focused down with nothing to show. Too late and you effectively did nothing
- Use the secondary flag for slightly better range
