Ship Overview

All Ships

 Mikasa — Japanese • Premium • Tier II • Cruiser.

The best squadron battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese War. The ship was well-balanced, with very good armament, armor, and speed for her time. However, Mikasa was in many respects largely inferior to successive dreadnought battleships.

Player Opinion

Cruiser - Mikasa

Pros:

• Incredibly good armor and health pool for Tier II.
• Powerful and numerous secondary batteries.
• Very good turning circle radius with decent rudder shift time for her size.
• Relatively small size.
• Provides a unique departure from the usual game experience.
• Strangely decent torpedo protection.

Cons:

• Underwhelming main battery range.
• With only 4 main guns housed in two turrets (because she is a pre-dreadnought battleship), misses will be especially frustrating.
• Low top speed, made worse by her speed dropping like a rock if she makes even the slightest of turns, which probably contributes to her small turning radius.
• Only has access to one modification slot.
