Fit Bonuses

Hidden Fit Bonuses

She has accuracy and firepower bonuses when equipped with certain medium guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.

Analysis

Priority:

Kai: Low

She is just an average light cruiser at Kai. Her remodel level is lower than other light cruisers but not by much.

Kai Ni: Very High

Her Kai Ni lowers her firepower a little bit but comes with a significant increase to her torpedo and armour. She also gains special abilities that make her one of the most important light cruisers in the game. The most important of these is the ability to equip midget submarines so she can perform opening torpedo strikes. For all intents and purposes, she is a torpedo cruiser in disguise, resulting in significantly increased passing rates in events. This alone already makes her a candidate for best CL in the game, and is a major asset in an event that needs to be committed carefully. Her ability to equip Daihatsu Landing Craft makes her an asset for maximising expedition gains and for transport maps. Although she can also equip Ka-Mi tanks, her low firepower and usefulness in other roles makes her unsuited to the task.

On October 1930, Abukuma collided with light cruiser Kitakami. Abukuma lost her bow while Kitakami sustained only light damage above the waterline. She was later fitted from the old spoon-shaped bow to a new double-curved one.
She was escorted by Ushio en route to repairs when she sunk. Ushio then rescued more than half of her crew.
Her name exist in Abukuma-class Destroyers Escort in JSMDF naming from the World War II along the ship names from Ooyodo,Sendai-class and Tone-class cruisers.
Sunk 26 October 1944: bombed by USAAF B-24 Liberator bombers off Negros Island, Mindanao Sea 09°20′N 122°32′E.
