Next, researching the Gun Fire Control System is recommended to increase the ship’s maximum firing range. Combined with her range and proper usage, due to her rather impressive concealment, she can be a force to be reckoned with in the right hands.Ĭaptains should first research Ibuki’s second hull for the increase in health, maneuverability, and anti-aircraft armament it provides.
