Shimanto — Japanese Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

The development of the Mogami-class cruisers into anti-aircraft defense cruisers, which implied mounting dual-purpose 5.9-inch (150 mm) guns created in 1944 as the main armament. The mounting of these and 3.9-inch (100 mm) AA guns would make it possible to turn these ships into an effective weapon against American deck- and ground-based aviation.


Year of Design: 1944

Ship Traits
Big Yield: Above average torpedo damage.	Full Circle: Main battery turrets can rotate the full 360 degrees.	Nimble Aim: Above average main battery traverse speed. Gives an edge in close quarters combat.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Good speed
• Good concealment

Cons:

• Abysmal armor
• Turrets are prone to incapacitation due to large size and poor armor

• Low AP shell damage and penetration
• Poor ballistics
• Torpedoes have slow speed and high detectability
• Poor AA defense DPS
• Terrible turning circle for a light cruiser
