Myōkō — Japanese Tier VII cruiser.

The first Japanese cruiser built after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 came into force. Unlike foreign Treaty Cruisers, Myoko’s armor was good enough to withstand artillery strikes from ships of the same type. One of the features of the project was well-developed torpedo protection. Following a series of upgrades, cruisers of this class got a substantially reinforced AA and torpedo armament.

For the most part, Myoko is the first proper heavy cruiser within the Japanese cruiser branch; it brings together all of the lessons captains have learned playing through Furutaka and Aoba. Her impressively low detection range will most certainly aid captains in firefights with other cruisers. Her guns turn and load relatively slowly, and getting into a medium range firefight with a fast firing cruiser — such as Dallas, Shchors, or Fiji — is inadvisable.

Captains should take care to remember that even as a proper heavy cruiser, Myoko is still very much prone to citadel hits, particularly from other cruisers despite having the offensive capability to do the same herself. In this aspect she can be played in two ways: an anti-cruiser and anti-destroyer escort or an aggressive raider forming ad-hoc squadrons with other cruisers or destroyers. She must take special care when engaging battleships, and hold the range open as best as possible.

Pros:

Largest amount of hit points for a Tier VII cruiser.
Torpedo bulges cover 85% of the citadel which makes it really small and hard to hit, something that almost all non-Japanese cruisers can only dream of.
Torpedo bulges which is a rare addition to a heavy cruiser shatter small shells often when they hit it rather than penetrating.
The main battery's high explosive shells have high damage, penetration, and fire chance, making them effective against most targets Myoko may encounter.
The ship carries six torpedo launchers per side. Additionally, her torpedoes have a high top speed and long range, making them effective for area denial or hitting distant targets.
High top speed and quick rudder shift time allows the ship to dodge long range fire easily.
Thick central deck armor (32 mm): only AP shells > 457 mm never ricochet.

Cons:

Very weak armor for a heavy cruiser, often takes a large chunk of damage from anything fired at her.
Shorter main battery range than other heavy cruisers at her tier.
Rather slow reload time and turret traverse speed for a heavy cruiser.
Turrets often gets knocked out or destroyed because of its thin 25mm armor.
Torpedo bulges are largely useless against battleship AP shells.
Torpedo mounts are also rear facing and with very narrow firing arcs, requiring the ship to expose her side to make use of them.
Thin bow/stern armor (16 mm): all battleship and some cruiser AP shells (>228 mm) never ricochet, penetrated even by destroyer HE shells.

Research

Captains must research Myoko’s second hull upgrade. Next, captains can choose to upgrade the ship's anti aircraft armament by researching the ship's final hull upgrade, or upgrade the ship's torpedo armament by researching the torpedo module.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgraded for Myoko are as follows:

Slot 1: Modificación 1 del armamento principal keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
Slot 2: Plantilla:Damage Control System Modification 1 makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
Slot 3: Plantilla: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. Modificación 1 de los sistemas de tiro gives her guns more accuracy and is an alternative option.
Slot 4: Modificación 1 del aparato de gobierno allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire. Modificación 1 de la propulsión can also be used to aid dodging incoming fire and torpedoes via speed juking, depending on your preferred play style.

Commander Skills

The key skills for Myoko are similar to her predecessor and several options exist based on player preference and which upgrades were selected. If you have opted for improving her accuracy with Modificación 1 de los sistemas de tiro in Upgrade Slot 3, it's highly suggested to pick up Grease the Gears as your Level 1 skill in order to make her sluggish turret traverse more comfortable. If you opted for using Upgrade Slot 3 to improve her turret traverse, it is suggested to either choose Gun Feeder, making it faster to switch to AP when presented with a broadside cruiser, or Incoming Fire Alert, to help with dodging incoming fire, as your Level 1 skill. If Incoming Fire Alert was not taken at Level 1, it's suggested that you take Priority Target at Level 2 to help with situational awareness and dodging incoming fire. Otherwise, captains are encouraged to either take Expert AA Marksman, to give her relatively weak AA suite a bit more bite, or Fill the Tubes, to increase the reload speed of her torpedoes. While Pyrotechnician would increase her fire starting ability, the percent boost is too low and her rate of fire too slow to make it worth the points. The key skill at Level 3 is Adrenaline Rush, boosting her relatively slow rate of fire as the ship takes damage. Captains who find themselves exhausting their consumables in Myoko may wish to also take Superintendent; otherwise, Enhanced Torpedo Explosive Charge can be taken to buff her torpedo damage. At Level 4, the key skill is Concealment Expert as Myoko relies on dropping off detection when she gets too much unwanted attention. Captains may also want to take Top Grade Gunner to boost her fire rate when the enemy is too close for her to drop off detection.

Signals

Myoko captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. To improve upon the ship's armaments, India X-Ray (Plantilla:India X-Ray), Victor Lima (Plantilla:Victor Lima), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (Plantilla:Juliet Whiskey Unaone) flags are recommended to increase the fire chance and flooding chances respectively. To improve the ship’s survivability, captains should mount November Foxtrot (Plantilla:November Foxtrot) and India Yankee (Plantilla:India Yankee) flags. Sierra Mike (Plantilla:Sierra Mike) flags are recommended to increase the ship’s already high top speed.
