Yahagi — Japanese special premium Tier V cruiser.
Agano-class cruiser. Yahagi participated in the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944 as the flagship of a consolidated destroyer division and provided cover for the aircraft-carrying strike group. She also participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, leading the consolidated destroyer division. On April 7, 1945, during an American attack near Okinawa, Yahagi received multiple torpedo and bomb hits, stopped in her course, and sank.
Yahagi was first released for sale on 29 September 2019.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Powerful HE shells with high damage and fire chance
- High top speed with fairly quick rudder shift
- Torpedoes have long range and high damage
- AA suite is good for a tier V cruiser
- Concealment is fairly good for a cruiser — the ship is theoretically capable of stealth torping
- Speed boost consumable to help get out of trouble.
Cons:
- Very fragile; exposed citadel with virtually no protection
- Torpedoes tubes have terrible firing arcs
- Torpedoes are fairly slow (60 kts) and easily spotted
- Guns have a long reload, slow traverse, and poor ballistics
- AP shell is virtually useless
- Accuracy is worse than 203mm armed Japanese cruisers
- While the rudder shift is fast, her turning circle is rather large
