Eastern Dragon — Japanese special premium Tier VII cruiser.

A Ship Without a Country! Although the Eastern Dragon is based on the Japanese Myoko-class vessels, the ship itself is a non-national ship. It's a ship of its own "Dragon" nation, and can be crewed by other IJN commanders.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Eastern Dragon performs exactly like the standard Myoko in the game, and that means that she shares the same play style as the regular Myoko. You can refer to the article on Myoko for her performance appraisal.

Pros:

All the pros of the standard Myoko.
Comes with free Captain's Skills Points (depending on the event).
Japanese commanders can be trained on this ship- a versatile tier 7 premium.
The Dragon Captain can take the helm of Japanese ships

Cons:

All the cons of the standard Myoko.
Voice notifications of unique commander are in Japanese.

Research

As a special ship, Eastern Dragon doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Myoko, the following recommended upgrades are the same:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2 makes her guns more comfortable and saves a skill point that would otherwise be spent on Grease the Gears to improve her gun handling. Aiming Systems Modification 1 gives her guns more accuracy and is an alternative option.
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire. Propulsion Modification 1 can also be used to aid dodging incoming fire and torpedoes via speed juking, depending on your preferred play style.
