Zao was the very first Tier X ship I ever unlocked in World of Warships; as such, she has a special place in my heart. She has a crazy amount of firepower packed into her hull, but she lacks the utility that a lot of other cruisers bring to the modern game. Her lack of radar and her short main battery range keep her from being more popular, but in the right hands she is an instrument of death. In this video I'll talk about how I build my Zao, 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!
