This trails just behind the Admiral Hipper and a little further behind the Mogami when she is armed with fifteen 155mm rifles. In terms of weapon performance, the Atago’s broadside firepower is among the highest for cruisers of her tier with a 47,000 damage maximum alpha strike with AP (the same for the Myoko, Mogami and Ibuki armed with 203mm rifles).

Three are mounted on the forward section of the ship and two aft. She has five turrets with two rifles each. The gun arrangement of the Atago matches that of the Myoko-class of ships.
