I don't know if this will get upvoted but it would be nice to see an updated Kidd video, considering that its very popular and powerful in Tier VIII Clan Battles.
My first game with her a billion years ago, I was detonated by a Shima torp salvo 5 minutes in. My second game I detonated a Yamato with a yolo torp rush. I feel like that summarized most of my IJN games in the first few months during beta.
The special thing about double rudder Atago is that it lets you make lateral dodges while kiting the same way a DD can. That is, hard to starboard followed by hard to port, so your ship has roughly the same heading as it did when the enemy fired, but now your ship is a few 100 meters to the side of where they aimed, hence "lateral" dodge. This combined with the 41mm deck, a very low freeboard compared to other cruisers, and a heal, means a kiting Atago can rack up a ton of potential damage while still farming with it's full DPM thanks to being able to angle between salvos and the good gun arcs
My favourite ship in the game. Yes the powercreep is real, but you can still do wonders with her if you know what you're doing. Plus, that 41mm deck is just *chef kiss*
Also my favorite ship, fast, accurate and heavy hitting. Too bad the range is meh and reload is horrendous. I wish they'd give Atago a choice of fighter or spotter aircraft. I once rushed two CVs when my team was in full retreat and I guess they weren't expecting me to show up from the very side of the map.
For those more confident in your ability, I'd HIGHLY recommend double rudder. 4.0 second rudder really lets you take advantage of your side armor and helps with the slow turrets. Good pick for those that dont prefer the passive farming playstyle. Especially since there are far better farmers out there.
I think it was my first premium ship too, followed by Atlanta I think. Really enjoyed her. Play her rarely, but when I do, it reminds me why I lived her so much. Those guns have a real HE punch and fire starting. Good AP and torps too. Great ship.
Atago was my second premium. My first premium was the Warspite from the beta pack with it. I still love Warspite to this day, even though wargaming gives it away like candy on Halloween now.
Atago is really a very good ship...I just got it an hour ago with the Black Friday event, and boy oh boy, straight away first two games with it had a couple of ranked battles ending up in top tier base xp wins!
This was my 2nd ship coming out of Open Beta back in the days, the 1st was the Tirpitz. Both had been rewards for plaing the Beta. It was another game back then...
Atlanta and Atago were two of my first premiums. Atlanta is less useful but Atago always carries. That and the AL captain was always fun. I got her for free back in the day when WG let you earn stuff via playing the game.
Atago was my first premium I think as well, back when Zao was still somewhat meta. I think the Tirpitz wasn't far off as the first premium tier 8 BB, correct me if I'm wrong. Power creep has had it's way with Atago somewhat but that it true of many older ships, the heal does help.
Atago still very good in current meta. The 40mm making Atago garantee a bounce or over pen. Her superstructure is only 16mm, means AP will always overpen you. Atago also have low profile, means she is also hard to hit. Only issue on Atago for me is how easily the modules will be combust when anyone breathes on it. Like seriously I find countless of times getting rudder jam or torpedo launchers being demolished.
220 games in this boat over 60% WR, all played solo if played correctly its a powerhouse that can hurt even tier10 ships. i see so many people play it wrong, its not a island hugger you play it as a kiter rudder shift mod is a must have on it. but there is a premium cruiser i like even more than the atago, the weimar - you can play it pretty much the same.
Everytime I played that I got so much HATE from my team ! even when I stated the no radar in the comments b4 the games they HATED me and left me to die!!
Atago is so nice to play, it is quite tanky for a tier 8 cruiser, moves like a DD, very stealthy and have some very accurate and hard-hitting guns. Also black Friday event is coming out and you can get it for half price.
I Would like to see Indianapolis. That was my first premium I bought. I choose that mainly because my grandfather served on it (was moved to a destroyer before it was sunk).
This was one of my first premiums. Back then i thought it was a Battleship and was wondering why i kept getting dev struck until i realised it was a cruiser lol
Video "how to grind exp and doublon in 2024 best method" please. See if new tips or if nothing change and you need 2000 hours to grind one line lol . Thanks @Potato Quality
I'd like to request the Republique next.
Leg mod
@@user-xd6jt3dx8p Fin mod
Leg and super heavy ap

Please play the Navarin next PQ! Would like to see your opinion on it again now that it's back in the red october chests
I love my navarin
@@Subbias2024 same, I was lucky to get it from the chests, and I love it

double rudder is nice but i prefer to skill more HE dmg and only one rudder mod.
@@grillmeisterflash how does double rudder lower your HE dmg?
@@TimTimONE I run enhanced HE DMG on it but that lowers the conceal that way you're forced to run conceal mod
I'd like to see an Indianapolis in 2024 vid. She does not get a lot of coverage and can be strong in t7 Ranked!
Ara ara Atago?
How about you scale up those skills -
I'd like to request the OG Japanese "I blow up" ship! Mogami!!!

75.4% win rate for last 53 games for reference. Sure it won't average as much damage but focusing DDs really helps the win rate.
@@bradenhagen7977 Is this build Yuro inspired? 😂😂😂.
I think it was my first premium ship too, followed by Atlanta I think. Really enjoyed her. Play her rarely, but when I do, it reminds me why I lived her so much. Those guns have a real HE punch and fire starting. Good AP and torps too. Great ship.
Now for Mogami with 155's
Mogami 155 my beloved
I love my Atago. It's been a bit power crept, but I love how beautiful it is, and it was my first premium as well.
That opening, lol. I actually had a game this week where I got Combat Scout in Stalingrad. That was an exciting match.
Atago was my second premium.
My first premium was the Warspite from the beta pack with it. I still love Warspite to this day, even though wargaming gives it away like candy on Halloween now.
My first as well. I learned armor angling in this ship back when it came out. A lot of fun memories.
solid day 40 of asking for a torpedo build omaha
Chat support this guy❤
Come on PQ, get this guy a build video now
The time has come.
Love the dedication on this guy
No such thing as a torpedo Omaha. Lol
PQ: BF is a great opportunity to get a higher tier premium at a discount
WG: let's put a stop to that
Atago is really a very good ship...I just got it an hour ago with the Black Friday event, and boy oh boy, straight away first two games with it had a couple of ranked battles ending up in top tier base xp wins!
Perfect time to play Atago. 80 year anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf when USS Darter sunk Atago. Damn subs!
Atago is a chill laid back ship, still one of my favorites
This was my 2nd ship coming out of Open Beta back in the days, the 1st was the Tirpitz. Both had been rewards for plaing the Beta. It was another game back then...
I'd lie to see PQ play Conde. I'm about to pick her up as my first supership.
lighthouse castilla!
love that ship, just fun to use the gimmick
Ah Atago... a ship that looks good, and is good. You should also check out HSF Harekaze. Akizuki turrets on a Kagero hull is FUN!
Atago is a powerhouse in ranked, a real tier 8 zao. Her HE is just so damn powerful
I would like request the Francesco Ferruccio as I don't think I have ever seen anyone else play this cruiser.
Request counter: X
This one slaps DDs big time
One of my favorite ships. I loved seeing Takao in Godzilla -1. It made me load up WoWS just to play Atago again lol
Atlanta and Atago were two of my first premiums. Atlanta is less useful but Atago always carries.
That and the AL captain was always fun. I got her for free back in the day when WG let you earn stuff via playing the game.
holy shit 8:05 and the sub survived
Great video today! I like how upbeat it was.
8:35 In that spot I was full-health devstruck for the first time... In an Atago.
Atago was my 1st prem: as well. I found it a great ship with lower detect: than many other newer ships.
Atago's new skin preview just dropped, and now this video? I see this as an absolute win
Atago was my first premium I think as well, back when Zao was still somewhat meta. I think the Tirpitz wasn't far off as the first premium tier 8 BB, correct me if I'm wrong. Power creep has had it's way with Atago somewhat but that it true of many older ships, the heal does help.

try the vanguard havent seen it in a while
I remember my 1st Premium, Good 'ol Massachusetts.
Still play it to this day, awesome ship
220 games in this boat over 60% WR, all played solo if played correctly its a powerhouse that can hurt even tier10 ships. i see so many people play it wrong, its not a island hugger you play it as a kiter rudder shift mod is a must have on it. but there is a premium cruiser i like even more than the atago, the weimar - you can play it pretty much the same.
Would be funny if you play range, spotter plane Des Moins. ;)
Everytime I played that I got so much HATE from my team ! even when I stated the no radar in the comments b4 the games they HATED me and left me to die!!
I’m blown away that the push in the second game worked
Reliable Shimakaze for next Ship Request?
Maybe secondary build Gasconge?
Can you play Błyskawica full gunboat build?
what other build would make sense? torp? LOL
Haha for sure you had to try the lighthouse build xD
Atago is my favorite comfort cruiser to play. Suggestion to play San Diego.
Atago is so nice to play, it is quite tanky for a tier 8 cruiser, moves like a DD, very stealthy and have some very accurate and hard-hitting guns. Also black Friday event is coming out and you can get it for half price.
Tallinn maybe? never really see or heard bout them that much, would like to see your thoughts on that as well
I really would like to see how these ships do in operations. Especially the T9 premiums.
Ara ara indeed....
It's still one of the best T8 cruisers out there. Consistent & accurate guns, you can't replace that
i would say it is the best tier8 cruiser in the game nothing comes close.
Id love to see Loyang
What is Montana 2? Are you playing on the Public Test?
Would love to see you play the Benham! Sending a ridiculous amount of torps is always fun :)
san martin or alme grau with new pan america commander pls
I Would like to see Indianapolis. That was my first premium I bought. I choose that mainly because my grandfather served on it (was moved to a destroyer before it was sunk).
The Atago is still in the meta of 2024 a impressive ship.
At 3:24 the ships at Pq's flank have arranged themselves in a zig zag fashion. His team(flank) is creative.
This was one of my first premiums. Back then i thought it was a Battleship and was wondering why i kept getting dev struck until i realised it was a cruiser lol
2 minutes is pretty fresh. Ship request: Iowa
I got 2 Dev Stikes in one Atago Round a while ago. Sneaky getting at a Cruiser in 10k Distance.
A Thunderer video would be great since you haven't covered it in a long time.
My first Prem in 2015 also...back playing again after about 8 year break lol.
The Kutuzov please !!
Hmm I saw that Montana 2, what is different between the normal one?
Attempt no.5 at asking for lighthouse DM/Salem
Trust me they're good
Hey guys, can you tell me the name of the aim mod that PQ is using in this video?
3:15 Yoshino torp angles
I'd love to see your thoughts on the Giulio Cesare! I still think its busted at T5 and its the only "rare" premium I own
think I got warspite, murmansk, atlanta, then atago. I enjoyed playing all of them :D (yes, i spent way too much on premium ships)
Satsuma!
My first prem ship too, way back when
Fenyang with improved AP.
How about Benham? Not a common ship, but loads of fun with 16 torps and 65 second relaod...
Georgia! Hasn't been talked about much since it came out
Pls let him Play Tiger 58. That would be funny.
just got her out of my leyte gulf containers and its been fun so far :)
another day asking if u could do a vid about the future black friday sales, which ships would u recommend, etc... ty for the great content u do
Hey Potatoquality, do the Iwami next!
can you do halland next? im grinding her and you havent done a vid in awhile on her.
Day 2 of asking for the Cherbourg with a full speed boost build for the almost 5 minute speed boost.
i like atago so much
I hope you can play azuma as well
I wish they would change out the useless fighter for a spotting aircraft.
Ooh please do a champagne game. She's strong in current meta (my opinion)
Fun fact. Atago overmatches Fiji's 14mm nose
Why not monarch?
Petropavlove when
I hate fighting against this ship. I constantly see it sailing broadside to everyone and just getting away with it. It's so infuriating lol.
Quite solid ship, I get it for free as ARP Atago all rounder ship.
requesting HMS Malborough , let's see how you can make it work
Halland next ?
Atago still amazing i love it.
i did troll with heavy he on mogami full rudder in clan battles :)
I would like to request Siliwangi, It feels like an odd DD to play & I heard that it got a reload buff in 13.4.
Request counter: XXXIII
You should play the Molotov
id like to request your favorite steel ship
11:11 the fuck is a Montana 2 ??
Seems like Atago could badly use either a reload or range buff.
