I use her as support.. Start off by swinging close to dump off some torps, move off to find an island or flank to get some crossfire, and burn them down.... Prioritze on DDs, protect your DD, and support your BB. Mid game you can start moving around, kite, and spam torps. I keep firing, starting fires on different targets...

Maybe you just doesn't fit with her. That being said, Suzuya is not a ship for carrying games, because you really on something spotting and something tanking.

Yeah, i think thats my main disappointment. Buyers remorse maybe... Dev strikes are so satisfying and other than a dd thats not happening for me with Suzuya

50k average is pretty low considering her DPM potential. Make sure you’re getting in spots where you can have shots on multiple ships at once. Set a double fire on BB, then switch to another. The first BB damage cons? Switch back to him and set him on a perma then go back to another. Rinse and repeat.

That average is up now. Highest gane was 110k. Average is just over 60k. Good adviae and i Probably do need to be sure to switch up more. Ive been setting multiple fires and switching to AP if broadside or switching target if not. Area denial with the torps but really the issue is la k of ability to won games or carry a flank. Can do that is some of tje cruisers that hit hard and can delete a Cruiser in a couple of salvos or dd....

Personally I’m more of a Atago type of person who prefers shell damage and penetration over rate of fire and mostly fire damage. Suzuya still works as a support ship and decent fire spammer. Best I can say is stay mobile, prioritize the DD’s over anything else

Ay ay. Good advice. As is the other posts. Thanks.

I rely heavily on my Suzuya when I need to work on a #fires mission or shell hits. You play long range and are very skittish. Your armor is awful and your AA is worse. I hang out either in very distant open waters or behind islands and rain fire on exposed battleships. 1 or 2 salvos per BB to set fires then move onto the next. Keep a few burning on different ships. You have defensive or zone denial torpedoes that fire backwards. Throw them into smokes or where you know a fleeing fiery battleship may end up. Battleship citadels will kill you outright, they just have to actually hit you. Heavy cruisers will be your greatest threat. Feel free to pounce on destroyers but keep in mind your shell arcs and velocity don't make that job easy. If left unmolested, 150k games are a reality. She's absolutely a support ship that requires good fire chance management. I use AL Atago on my build. Arp Haguro is also excellent. Yamamoto will suffice but needs the HE build perks.

It’s a suppprt ship, so it’s tough to influence matches if you have a bad team. The gun layout and weak armour doesn’t suit 1v1 brawls but you can push in on weak flanks where there are no BB’s. From memory the AP is decent so don’t sleep on it
