Shinano
- Shinano specialized farming broadside ships with AP skip bombs, supporting allies with smoke, all while having accurate secondaries and a study hull for the occasional close fight
- Shinano’s build leans into her AP bombs and smoke gimmick
- Shinano’s base secondaries are sufficient for DD self defense in randoms. If you want to invest into secondaries, trade Bomber Flight Control for Defensive Fire Expert, and Slot 3 smoke upgrade for secondary range. You can get up to 14.4km range with manual aim (9km with auto).
- It doesn’t stop cruisers and BBs from melting you, so have smoke ready
- Suzuki is useful for the improved SE. Yamamoto can prove extremely powerful if you get Kraken Unleashed, though this usually happens by the time the battle is over
- Quick guide to using Shinano’s AP bombs. Bombs hitting the 1st and 2nd line will pen 658mm armor, and hitting the farthest line is 296mm
- Smoke is invaluable for survival if you get caught by surface ships, or intend on duking it out with secondaries
