Player Opinion

Battleship - Myōgi

Pros:

• Rearward-heavy turret placement: her one forward two back turret arrangement can be a nasty surprise for ships chasing her or sneaking up from behind.
• Heavy-caliber guns: with her 356mm guns, she has larger guns than the 305mm guns of her American and German counterparts and the 343mm guns of her British counterparts. If the shells hit home, they will hit hard.
• Very good top speed.
• 356mm guns have the potential to destroy most cruisers with just a couple of broadsides if not a few shells.

Cons:

• With only 6 guns with low accuracy, she is left vulnerable at closer range, especially to destroyers and DPM orientated cruisers.
• Terrible dispersion: cannot hit anything reliably at long range, expect plenty of misses.
• While her armor can stop most cruiser shells, she is vulnerable to being penetrated by battleship-caliber weapons.
• Low range and extremely poor AA armament makes her vulnerable to other battleships and aircraft.
• Unique turret placement will severely reduce firepower if angling the ship bow on.
• Concealment is worse than its tech-tree counterpart of the same nation.
