Slot 3 allows for further specialization. Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1īecause of the limited field of fire of Izumo's secondary batteries, a secondary build is not recommended.

Unlocking and investing in both hull upgrades will greatly improve Izumo’s handling and performance. Like all high tier battleships, she remains vulnerable to fire. Pointing her bow at enemies and reversing at mid range - similar to how many captains play Dunkerque, Iowa, and North Carolina - is a valid tactic in Izumo, and is quite effective against enemy AP rounds. While the middle weather deck was buffed, she remains vulnerable to full penetration damage from high explosive shells in upper belt, bow, and stern and the fully upgraded AA suite is not adequate enough to fend off air attacks, even with support from allies. Once Hull (B) is unlocked, she gains somewhat better secondaries and AA. Izumo’s armor on her sharply-angled bow can deflect most AP shells fired at the hull, save for ships whose guns can overmatch 32mm bow plating. The concealment, once among the worst of any ship in the game, has been considerably improved, though still on the lower end of the spectrum for Tier IX battleships. The central weather deck was increased to 57mm to mitigate damage from high explosive shells from 203mm and IFHE 152mm guns. While her stock hull still has mediocre secondaries, a weak anti-aircraft battery, and bad turning characteristics, the AP shell penetration of Hull (A) has been significantly improved, allowing her guns (at least) to remain competitive against the likes of Iowa and Friedrich der Große beyond 15km. Once considered by many to be among the worst Tier IX ships in the game, Izumo has seen a variety of improvements since the launch of World of Warships.
