Myōkō — Japanese Tech Tree Tier VI Cruiser.

The first Japanese cruiser built after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 came into force. Unlike foreign Treaty Cruisers, Myōkō's armor was good enough to withstand artillery strikes from ships of the same type. One of the features of the project was well-developed torpedo protection. Following a series of upgrades, cruisers of this class got a substantially reinforced AA and torpedo armament.

Entered Service: 1929
Ships in a series: 4

Ship Traits
Pyromania: Above average chance for HE shells to cause a fire.	Superior HE Damage: Above-average HE shell damage.	Sluggish Aim: Below average main battery traverse speed. Close quarters combat problematic.
