No , I can ' t recommend grabbing the Katori for Random Battles . She ' s too fragile , too slow and she struggles to do damage against anyone with half a brain in their heads . Unless your opponents will either a . Sit out beyond their range and let you pew pew them for hours on end or , b . race suicidallyclose while abstaining from shooting at you to let you hit them with torpedoes , you ' re going to struggle to tack up damage totals sufficient to be worth joining the queues in the first place . Also She will feel underarmed though , an affliction that besets both the Yubari and Tenryu to a lesser degree due to their ability to deliver their torpedo armaments to compensate . This part just doesn ' t make any sense in the case of the Yubari You ' re saying that a ship that has to literally show perfect broadside to fire off its torpedoes while also having poor armor and a low health pool is somehow better at delivering its torpedo armament which has a shorter range of 6 km than the ship with amazing torpedo firing arcs yes , you might only have two per side , but you don ' t have to turn much to fire off both sides at the same target and an extra kilometer of range . If someone does decide to come somewhat close to your katori keep in mind that you can fire off torpedoes at targets coming towards you before they enter your torpedo range , you can pretty much always fire off your torpedoes . The same can ' t be said for the Yubari due to its restricted firing arcs . Decent AA rating for a tier 3 cruiser . That seems like a bit of an understatement considering it vastly outperforms any other Tier 3 ship by a ton . I have had games where I ' ve shot down up to 10 planes . I think the best way to sumarize the ship is It murders DDs with its highly accurate guns . It burns BBs from distances where they can ' t defend themselves , if they do get close you have torpedoes . If you do get a carrier , well , literally any other Tier 3 ship would be worse . In tier 23 games it is the only ship that can spot over islands with its plane , and no one will be able to shoot it down . Just try and avoid any cruiser that has significantly more guns than you , ok ?
