Myōkō
Tier VII · Cruiser · Japan
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 22) · Torpedo cruiser
Torpedo cruiser. It is especially strong against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 6 min on paper · torpedoes supply 36% of it). Top speed of 34.6 kn is high, but sluggish acceleration make sudden dodges hard. A full torpedo spread can deal up to 24,492 (all launchers combined). Torpedo DPM is 17% higher than average. Dispersion at 10 km is about 265 m, 13% wider than average, so shoot from closer or wait for broadsides.
