Captains wishing to focus their ''Mogami'' to maximize her concealment will opt for {{Concealment System Modification 1}} in Upgrade Slot 5. This will lower her surface detection up to 9.4 km, enabling her to do stealth torpedo attack since her torpedo range is 10 km. This can be used to ambush ships with more than her concealment. Although, stealth torpedoing will make Mogami prone to radar scan by 9.5 km or more radar-equipped ships like Indianapolis, Baltimore, Neptune, Missouri, Des Moines, Minotaur, and the Russian cruisers. Furthermore, Mogami has bad torpedo firing arc, with the arc only good enough to fire an incoming ship from behind.<br /> | |

Captains wishing to focus their ''Mogami'' to maximize her maneuverability will opt for {{Steering Gears Modification 3}} in Upgrade Slot 5. This, when combined with Steering Gears Modification 2, will lower her rudder shift time up to 3.4 s, while maintaining 10.3 km surface detection range. 3.4 s rudder shift time can turn Mogami into one of the best kiting ship. Excellent rudder shift time, good turning radius, and great deceleration making her very hard to hit with the right hand. This, however, has to be paid by her concealment as Steering Gears Modification 3 have the same slot as Concealment System Modification 3. Absolute knowledge of situational awareness is also needed to know when and where to shoot and kite.<br /> | |

Mogami — Japanese Tier VIII cruiser.
Mogami was built as a light cruiser whose characteristics would largely exceed those of her contemporary counterparts. She had good armor along with a powerful artillery and torpedo armament. During the course of her service she was transformed into a heavy cruiser, as intended by the original design.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Modular gun system which gives you freedom of play style.
- Reasonable range.
- 155's have a high initial shell velocity at 925 m/s, making them very good at hunting destroyers.
- 155's have superb HE penetration if player has Inertia Fuse High Explosive skill.
- 155's have high damage per minute when compared to her 203's or other same-tier ship
- 203's have good firing arc and turret rotation speed.
- Friendly ergonomics and handling.
- Impressive rudder shift.
- Good torpedo range.
- Very high concealment.
Cons:
- Fragile.
- the AA suite is insufficient to defend yourself alone.
- 155's turrets have a good chance to be incapacitated, if not outright destroyed.
- 155's turrets turn slowly at 36 seconds for 180 degrees.
- Without Inertia Fuse High Explosive skill, 155's will have problems against battleships or other highly armored ships as 155's will not penetrate 32 mm of armor, forcing the player to rely on HE to deal damage and set the superstructure and deck on fire.
- 203's have lesser damage per minute when compared to her 155's.
- 203's reload time is slower than Myoko's by a second.
- Inconvenient torpedo tube placement, very limited arc.
Research
It is suggested to research Hull B first to get more HP, then acquire the upgraded Fire Control System to kite away ships better, and finally Hull C for more Anti Air guns.
Optimal Configuration
Mogami is a ship with good handling and can be used to kite battleships and other cruiser from afar and tank damage by dodging enemy shells and/or torpedoes.
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Mogami are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
- Slot 1: Steering Gears Modification 1 to keep the rudder in action.
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 gives her guns more accuracy.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2 allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire.
- Slot 5: See below.
