Player Opinion

Cruiser - ARP Nachi

Pros:

• Largest amount of hit points for a Tier VI cruiser.
• Torpedo bulges cover 85% of the citadel which makes it really small and hard to hit, something that almost all non-Japanese cruisers can only dream of.
• Torpedo bulges which is a rare addition to a heavy cruiser shatter small shells often when they hit it rather than penetrating.
• The main battery's HE shells have high damage, penetration, and fire chance, making them effective against most targets Myoko may encounter.
• The ship carries six torpedo launchers per side. Additionally, her torpedoes have a high top speed and long range, making them effective for area denial or hitting distant targets.
• High top speed and quick rudder shift time allows the ship to dodge long range fire easily.
• Thick central deck armor (32 mm): only AP shells below 457 mm never ricochet.

Cons:

• Very weak armor for a heavy cruiser, often takes a large chunk of damage from anything fired at her.
• Shorter main battery range than other heavy cruisers at her tier.
• Rather slow reload time and turret traverse speed for a heavy cruiser.
• Turrets often gets knocked out or destroyed because of its thin 25mm armor.
• Torpedo bulges are largely useless against battleship AP shells.
• Torpedo mounts are also rear facing and with very narrow firing arcs, requiring the ship to expose her side to make use of them.
• Thin bow/stern armor (16 mm): all battleship and some cruiser AP shells (>228 mm) never ricochet, penetrated even by destroyer HE shells.
