Agano was the lead ship of four light cruisers built to supercede and replace the older cruisers serving as destroyer flotilla flagships in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched in October 1941, she entered service a year later and saw her first operation escorting troop transports to New Guinea in December 1942. The ship was involved in Operation Ke, the evacuation of 10,652 Japanese troops from Guadalcanal as well as the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, an American victory which closed the Solomon Islands campaign. Several weeks later, American airstrikes damaged the ship as it lay in port at Rabaul and whilst en route to receive repairs, she was struck by a torpedo from an American submarine which flooded the boiler rooms and knocked out all power. The submarine Albacore prepared to finish the helpless and immobile ship, but was prevented from doing so by depth charges from the Urakaze. Taken under tow to Truk, Agano underwent 4 months of repairs before being able to attempt the journey back to the home islands of Japan in February 1944, for more permanent fixes. Ambushed by the American submarine Skate, Agano was hit by 2 torpedoes and sank 6 hours later.

Scout plane

Main article: Aichi E13A1

Located amidships is a catapult with one Aichi E13A1 scout plane (the second stored on the trolley is not available) which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. The E13A1 is equipped with a 7.7 mm Type 97 defensive machine gun and a formidable load of 4 x 60 kg bombs. It also has the scout plane ability to cap zones and lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilize the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new! Carrying a heavier bomb load than most other scout planes, this unit has a very good chance to sink enemy boats or even a destroyer.

Usage in battles

This cruiser is agile and fast but should be used with caution. Her firepower is acceptable for the light cruisers she faces. It is recommended to stay in the rear lines of the team and provide fire support. A good game technique is to shoot an enemy that another player on the team is already shooting at.

Its torpedoes are very good, like all Japanese torpedoes, but they will be rarely used in battle. Launching torpedoes at long range is a roulette of chance and most of the time they will not hit other ships. If used, it is recommended to use them in short confrontations (less than 5 km), where they will be more effective, and due to their speed, difficult to avoid.

It is recommended to unlock and use SAP shells as soon as possible, as HE shells only deal superficial damage. Although the HE can be annoying for the enemy, it will hardly kill another ship.

Prioritize the fire, it kills the crew very quickly.

You have to be careful with direct hits, as it is very susceptible to suffering from Irreparable Breaches, which will sink the ship quickly.

The reconnaissance planes are an interesting addition; however, they must be used when the ship is hidden, or it will be an easy bank to be sunk.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • It can stay afloat with 2 compartments flooded.
  • 16 Long Lance torpedoes are devastating against enemy ships.
  • Very fast for a cruiser, can keep up with some destroyers when fully upgraded.
  • Main guns have a great rate of fire in first stage.

Cons:

  • 25 mm AA guns cannot engage close targets.
  • Torpedoes have very limited firing arc.
  • Armour is mediocre, other cruisers will punch right through it at close range.
  • Turrets are large and lack armour, can thus easily be disabled.
  • Main gun shells are very weak.

History

December 7, 1942. IJN Agano
December 7, 1942. IJN Agano

Agano was the lead ship of four light cruisers built to supersede and replace the older cruisers serving as destroyer flotilla flagships in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched in October 1941, she entered service a year later and saw her first operation escorting troop transports to New Guinea in December 1942.

The ship was involved in Operation Ke, the evacuation of 10,652 Japanese troops from Guadalcanal as well as the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, an American victory which closed the Solomon Islands campaign.

Several weeks later, American airstrikes damaged the ship as it lay in port at Rabaul and whilst en route to receive repairs, she was struck by a torpedo from an American submarine which flooded the boiler rooms and knocked out all power.

The submarine Albacore prepared to finish the helpless and immobile ship but was prevented from doing so by depth charges from the Urakaze. Taken under tow to Truk, Agano underwent 4 months of repairs before being able to attempt the journey back to the home islands of Japan in February 1944, for more permanent fixes.

Ambushed by the American submarine Skate, Agano was hit by 2 torpedoes and sank 6 hours later.

Her destroyer escort Oite took on 523 survivors from the Agano but was herself sunk 2 days later by Grumman TBF Avengers of Task Force 58 during Operation Hailstone. She sank almost immediately with the loss 172 out of her 192 complements whilst all 523 survivors of the Agano were lost.
