Through the Spy Glass: Inamura

Inamura is a fast Japanese battlecruiser—a hypothetical variant of the B62 design, featuring a more powerful main battery with triple-gun turrets at the ends of the hull. The B61–B64 projects were developed prior to the construction of the Amagi-class battlecruisers in the late 1910s and early 1920s, but none were ever built. 

In the game, Inamura is a Japanese Tier VII Premium battleship with fast-reloading, accurate 410 mm guns and solid AP shells. She also has improved HE shells with great penetration and fire-starting chances. Although this ship has a modest HP pool and weak armor, she can survive battles thanks to her good concealment and high speed, further enhanced by Engine Boost. To receive Inamura, complete the Blooming Mountain campaign with an active Admiralty Backing. 

Recommended upgrades: 

• Aiming Systems Mod. 1  
• Propulsion Mod. 2  
• Concealment System Mod. 1  
• Main Battery Mod. 3 

We recommend assigning Kondō Nobutake as Commander of Inamura. His Covert base trait improves your battleship concealment by up to 6%. 

Here’s the optimal skillset: 

• No-Fly Zone, improving AA gun damage per second by up to 15% and range by up to 5%. 
• Crisscross, increasing your battleship's main battery traverse speed by up to 1.5°/s. 
• "On Second Thought...," reducing shell type switching time by up to 55% if all main battery guns are fully loaded and reducing main battery reload time by up to 5%. 
• Reaching Out XXL, increasing main battery maximum range by up to 4%. 
• Fight Fire With Fire, reducing the fire damage your ship takes over time for each active fire by up to 15%. It also removes all damage-over-time effects (including flooding) from your ship when three concurrent fires are burning while your Damage Control Party consumable is on cooldown or fully depleted. 

Inspirations: 

• Louis Dartige du Fournet improves your ship HE shell damage by up to 6%.
