Player Opinion

Cruiser - Yoshino

Pros:

• 30mm armored midsection will bounce any AP up to a caliber of 429mm
• Relatively small superstructure, making it hard for destroyers to deal with Yoshino with their guns.
• High HE penetration value allows her to efficiently damage more heavily armored ships
• AP has high penetration, superior to most heavy cruisers
• Access to 2 types of torpedoes
• Extremely accurate main battery guns
• Alternative torpedoes have the best range in the game at 20km
• Relatively fast with a base top speed of 34 knots
• Starts with 1 extra Repair Partycharge

Cons:

• Large exposed bow/stern sections that will frequently take full penetration damage
• Sluggish turret traverse
• Large and vulnerable citadel, frequently takes citadel hits through the bow and stern
• Very poor handling, further exacerbating her vulnerable citadel
