About Kitakami

Kitakami is a Tier X Japan Cruiser (Special ship) in World of Warships (WoWS). This page provides full Kitakami stats including 3D armor model, main battery dispersion and AP penetration curves, available modules and upgrades, and recommended captain skills and builds for WoWS players.

At the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Kitakami provided cover for landing operations of Japanese troops. In the second half of 1941, she was armed with ten quadruple-tube 610 mm torpedo launchers for night torpedo attacks. In 1942, the ship was converted into a high-speed transport for escorting troop convoys. In 1944, Kitakami took two torpedo hits from submarine HMS Templar. During repairs, the ship was converted into a Kaiten carrier. In 1945, the cruiser was damaged by Task Force 38 bombers and then used as a tender.
