Mogami — Japanese Tier VIII cruiser.
According to the London Naval Treaty, Japan had the right to build cruisers with artillery up to 155 mm. New cruisers with 155 mm guns were ordered, but the weaponry was later replaced with 203 mm (8-inch) guns. During World War II, Mogami participated in the occupation of Indochina, as well as the invasions of Malaya, Sarawak, and Indonesia. She also fought in the Sunda Strait, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. On October 25, 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Mogami was heavily damaged by American torpedo bombers and finally finished off by destroyer Akebono.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Modular gun system which gives you freedom of play style
- Reasonable range
- Friendly ergonomics and handling
- Good shell and turret turning speed on the 203's
- Impressive rudder shift
- Good torpedo range
- Very high concealment rating if installed with concealment mod and with the commander's concealment expert, will have the detection range at an astounding 9.3 km for a cruiser her size
- Impressive turret speed of 26.2 seconds if the commander has expert marksman
Cons:
- the AA suite, despite having a good array, is insufficient to defend yourself alone
- 155 turrets have a good chance to be incapacitated, if not outright destroyed
- The 155's, although very effective against destroyers and setting fires on carriers, will have problems against battleships, forcing the player to rely on HE to deal damage and set the deck on fire and still doing little damage against the heavy armor.
- 203's reload time is slower than Myoko's by a second
- 155's have a very low shell velocity, making long-range sniping hard.
- 155mm turrets turn slowly at 36 seconds for 180 degrees, although the Expert Marksman skill and the Main Armaments Modification 2 upgrade help mitigate this
- Inconvenient torpedo tube placement, very limited arc
