As stated by many, although not the easiest nation, IJN is one of the best, and definatly the
most fun you'll have IMO
I've started with IJN and have no regrets what so ever

Well. If you want to see The other Team Have Problems with Running Torps out of no where
go IJN. I betcha You will annoy the Other team so much with 100+ Torps running at them if
you know how to Use a Kitami. Gives your team the upper hand if they start runnin. If you
also like To have an OverPowered BB2 that Can Fit 12 barrels of 16''s and 14''s and 12''(not
recommended.) Then go IJN.

As Far As I know IJN has More ships to lvl from than any other. Their Fighters are also quite
good. Just as long as you got the Good bases.
The SY is Amazing. Truly Amazing. It can Peirce Right through armor at 45 and have Long
range AA to take out scouts. It also has the Best Speed on a BB5 with the Alasce. If it comes
close to you shoot it. You have better range than it anyway. I dont think I've ever saw an L2
or montana or H44 go 25/42 Did we?(Unless theres 2 guns or somethin)

i wanna a super yamato but i have only 37lvl T-T inj is good to fight and torps XD

All nations in NF are good. it all depends on your playing style.
but one thing is for certain "I never get bored with IJN ships"

I myself favor IJN. IJN has great AA, the most variety of CVs, TWs, and the hybrid
ships like the Mogami/Ise. Which are really fun to play and great for leveling up all
kinds of crew.(without taking up valuable CV spot) not to mention the Amagis 5
turrets plus high angle = insane fun. great for stoping foolish players that wander
into your range. just dont go RAMBO on the enemy by tryining to take out every
enemy at once because IJN has weak armor, and cant take a whole lot of abuse....

best advice I can give you is - Know your limits and your ships, dont rush in
quickly to get one enemy, (unless they are blind;) take your time and get em all. =D

IJN player for life

I personally would recommend IJN for the new player. RN is easier, but in my opinion
IJN is much more fun. Leveling is easy and there are a lot of ships to choose from.
Torpedoes are wonderful and the ships are generally faster than opponents. The two major
issues you will have is the paper hulls and the lack of an early AA ship with a ton of
turrets; you eventually can use the kita group for it, but the Atlanta, Emerald, and that
KM Darken-the-sky-with-AA ship come much earlier in levels.

Also, japanese gets to use carriers earlier than the other nations.

Thread!!.... =) i like IJN bacause im having fun using Torpedoes. IJN are good at that.
Torpwhore ship, T93 airacraft Torpedoes. many CV class ships. above all what i dont like
is that IJN are paperships, low in armour.

My review as below:

Torp: Best range, Best damage, highest number of torp load in ship (kitakami) &
highest torp lauch turret in one shot (5 torps x 5 turrets x 2 sides = 50 torps)

AA: Best interms of range & damage balance, but quit hard to farm DP gunner
(normally class from gunner to DP gunner at least after lvl 80), highest rate to 1 shot
planes from long range.

Main Gunner: Quit ok, but 45 degree high angle gun

Armor: Weak

Ship size: big (hit box)

Fun rate: 5 stars my opinion only

AFAIK, that was removed sometime back. Leeching will get the whole crew lousy exp, but
the gunners/torpedomen still get full exp even if you didn't do the right kind of damage.

The gunners on a TW ship will not work. If you do not get shell damage, a "Gunner"
Classed sailor will not receive exp.

DB's count as "Shell" damage therefore gunners gain exp when on a CV that does DB damage.
