Aoba may not be as unique as Furutaka, but she's just as capable. She enters a more crowded field of heavy cruisers at Tier VI, though, and she has some pretty noteworthy quirks that lend her to certain styles of play, in my opinion. In this video I'll talk about how I build my Aoba, why I fit her out that way, how I recommend playing her, and follow all of that up with a game demonstrating the ship in action.

Enjoy!
