Player Opinion

Performance

Yoshino is a Japanese heavy cruiser at Tier X. She is armed with nine high-caliber main guns housed in three turrets. For her size, she is relatively quick and agile, and her main battery packs a punch. Further comprising her arsenal are long-range torpedoes and an effective anti-aircraft suite.

Yoshino can best be described as a sort of "hybrid" between the Tier X Japanese battleship Yamato and cruiser Zao. Her size, hit-point pool, large-caliber guns, superstructure design, and gun layout make players feel confident as if they are in a battleship. However, Yoshino is fragile when broadside. Her extremely vulnerable citadel means that a poorly timed maneuver can leave Yoshino crippled or sinking. However, when properly angled, she is capable of delivering devastating shots to the enemy with relatively effective protection. All enemy cruisers must take care not to find themselves broadside to Yoshino, as they will surely be punished. Yoshino has heavy armor, meaning that unless she is broadside, cruisers will have a hard time dealing reliable damage with armor-piercing (AP) rounds. She has a somewhat sluggish reload time, meaning that players must choose their shots carefully. Yoshino is a versatile and formidable ship, capable of being a dangerous threat to nearly any enemy.

Pros:

High caliber, accurate main battery.
Armed with long-range torpedoes.
Effective AA armament.
Decent armor protects her when angled.
Large hit point pool.

Cons:

Very fragile when she exposes her broadside.
Sluggish turret traverse and reload time.
Only one rear-facing turret.

Research

Despite being a premium ship, Yoshino has one upgrade choice:

Torpedoes: Yoshino is equipped with Type93 mod. 3 torpedoes. These can be upgraded to Type93, which entail the following differences: -4.0 seconds to reload time (167.0s); -2800 maximum damage (20967); -5 kts torpedo speed(62 kts); +8.0 KM torpedo range (20km).

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Yoshino are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Steering Gears Modification 1
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3

Commander Skills

Key skills for Yoshino commanders include Expert Loader, Expert Marskman, and Fire Prevention.
