How about the ship's armor? How good is it? Biggest reason I prefer Prussia, GK, and Napoli is that they have armor that can withstand heavy fire at close range which traditionally is the weakness of IJN ships.
@Almedius76

@@roys.1889 You get the dreaded IJN vulnerable cheek. The incredible turret angles help to cover that weakness, but its still there. Iwami definitely wins the battles of secondaries though, and has main guns more effective at range (if you can stand IJN vertical dispersion). Its armor scheme is nowhere near as good as those ships unfortunately.

The stern torps(on Odin, Iwami, Constellation, etc) are good for kiting and drive-bys where you can launch both sides without huge, broadside-revealing turns. Just a little booty wag and they're on their way - saved my hide and won battles many times in 1v1 and 2v2 brawls in the Odin or Graf Spee... occasionally even in randoms.

I run secondaries on any ship which has a secondary hitting DPM that's equal to or greater than Georgia's (this is from the third party web site). They may not be the most optimal builds, but I enjoy trying to make them work. In my experience, they at least help keep the DD's a little further back.
