Yes, but in compensation you actually have very good armour. All newbies dunno how to play showing broadside 24x7 and they said IJN ship is paper ship. Most IJN cruisers have very good armour when u angled or bow on. This is truth story.
Which remind myself when I jump to this game for the first time and get myself Atago (jump ship to tier 8). Going yolo with no captain to command the ship and spamming torps like crazy - that time I was totally noob lol. The front bow of Atago were pretty hard to penetrate (due she is a heavy cruiser after all) with more armour, so fight other ship with bow on and nuke the other ca/cl with citadel when you around 7-10 km due to her gun can deal heavy damage. Most people didn't know that she have large torpedo angle to launch and good for front ambush when you bow on(unlike Myoko or Mogami), so you don't have to show your broadside when want to launch torpedo.
Her reload time and turret turn angle quite fast, good for hunting DD.
Funny things is, my Atago play style now been adapt to my Tirpitz seems both of them quite similar characteristic (heavy gun+very fast ship in their class+large HE &AP dmg+large torpedo angle), just Tirpitz has more armour and more firepower.
