Can you really fit 1.1inches of armour on a tsukikei ?
That with or without full crews ?

I use the 5xdual 6"L and less recruits

That really annoys DD's cuz I stay at range and clobber them.
(like i really want to eat your torps??)

5.5" D w/ 3Bind HE Hvy
1.8" armor
DD III Normal


I've found that with setup, I run about 37/46, and that I can easily take on DDX 1v1 and
come out on top with moderate amount of damage (skill lvl depending), z99, two at a time
(again skill depending) and a great share of smaller ships. The fast reload gives me more
shots compared to the 6", and helps a great deal as far as dealing with CL. This setup
works great against the annoying Dido/Sirius, and even better against Atlantas. you could
always drop the armor though in favor of a DD III HVY eng, more crew or longer range weps
(5.5" L)

If i use 5 duel 6" would i be able to hold a full crew?

If i use 5 duel 6" would i be able to hold a full crew?

I use 5.5 N with 3 binds heavy and 3 binds light he , i think that this is the best
setup for tsuskikei.

Bump on request

Remember - even a very skilled aiming person will have a hard time tracking down
an elusive DD - block shots cannot harm you if they cannot touch you ;)

Therefore, get the 5.5s and dont worry about armour - build up your speed instead.
The range on those babies is enough to keep you well out of range of torps etc, and
they are powerful enough to put a dent in any CL.

Listen to Walex.

Japs always are knocked because they have an inferior gun line, but if you use your
range properly in a Tsukikei, you can really piss off the Z99 and DDX owners who
think they're so hot. I played my Tsukikei mostly in DD only games and could really
dish it out. Once you get into the DD/CL rooms, you'd better know what you're
doing, or a Brooklyn or Edinburgh will tear you to shreds.

I find that there are really only two ways to outfit the Tsukikei, one is as a gun
ship, then we are talking the 5.5" Ds or as an antiaircraft platform, which I use the
4.7" DP gun.
