If you are rushed by an enemy ship be sure to use your torpedoes, they may be short ranged, but have some of the highest damage values at the tier (even having more damage that the tier VI Japanese destroyer Akatsuki.) Leaving a secluded spot is not a good idea - any high calibre AP will make short work of you, and you will quickly start loosing HP - not a good thing as you have the second lowest HP pool of all tier VI cruisers. Usually, the best strategy is to find an island that borders a capture point that you can shoot over, drop anchor, and start spraying HE rounds at any enemy ships that you can shoot at. Atlantas shells are very floaty, and are very hard to aim at range, often needing huge amounts of lead past 13.5 km.Ītlanta is a ship that requires good positioning to use effectively.

Her guns are very weak, easily being knocked out by AP salvos.Atlanta's weak armour means that shells will easily penetrate the ship, and AP shells fired when you are bow on will almost certainly penetrate, dealing huge damage, and potentially even devastating striking you.
