Chikuma ll Gold, World of Warships

So as a collector I had to try and get this ship. I spent a lot of money to get this ship, a lot more than i wanted to and I advise you not to spend the money, unless, you can really afford to spend to get the ship.
The ship itself is nothing special and to be honest very easy to sink. In basic it has no armour to speak off, what I call soft sided.
In this video where in the battle I come top, is not typical for this ship and its normally down near the bottom having only survived a few mins in to the battle. yes you have smoke and its suited to hiding and kiting than a brawler like I play it in this Co-Op battle.

To be honest, all in all this is not worth the spend for the none collector. For the average player there's far better ships in the tech tree than this Chikuma 2 gold or not gold,
