now dat u mention it, IJN does need one more CA. lol

I would like to see Tone Class heavy cruiser , it have funny all front main gun .

Takao or Tone class would be quite hilarious. IJN only gets on CA too, adding the Takao class would help a bit

Tone class could be a takao remod or something.

no comment on the matsu idea i find that odd.

The Takao class is just too far in terms of look and function to be the base for the tone class

-The tone class would probably be better as a final remod OR branch off for the oyodo , as it carried 8x 8"/50 all in the front ( that's 4 front turrets ), 4x 5"/40 Dp guns making it similar to the oyo's layout, not to mention her aft deck was largely dedicated to float plane operations.

-The takao class should be a remodel of the miyoko ( perhaps a heavier displacement )

ah anyway, it's wishful thinking at this point.

The Takao, although an excellent and beautiful ship, is far too similar in terms of setup to Myoko to be really useful and add anything of value to the game. I guess the USN has 3 classes of CA that all basically look the same so maybe it should be an alternate? Like a second line, lvl 47 Myoko or lvl 48 Takao then back to Kongo at 59?

Also, if you look really closely, the Asama PCA has the hull and bridge of the Takao. From what I can see, the Asama is basically the Takao with re-done gun slots.

If Tone is added, it should be a half-carrier like the Oyodo because that's what it was. But it would be OP because it would have same firepower as a County (4x 8" twins) AND planes on top.

none of those ships should be remodels because well... that doesn't make sense! Remodels are ships that were actually rebuilt IRL, or that are slightly different sisters (Agano>Oyodo)

Why is there no responce to the matsu DD idea come on!
