Naval Academy: IJN Cruisers

We continue to focus on the cruiser class in the Naval Academy series, this time on the vessels under the Japanese banner and how they differ from their US counterparts.

Myoko is amazing , one of the best cruisers in her tier . Got historical cammo for her and 750 battles in , fire at max range , use torps to fire into caps and smoke and opportunistic attacks . Surprisingly well protected when angled and can ping shells off , but has a big citadel which is certainly vulnerable , never show broadside when possible

[@themangix357]

The gun sounds of WoWS is really good. Maybe WoWS should lend some of its sound engineers to WoT because that game has terrible sound effects.

Why are all the Japanese warships flying the ensigns of merchant vessels?

[@NoJokes11B]

Because Koreans and Chinese get offended by the Japanese naval ensign

[@randomguy-tg7ok]

Ambush tactics made easier.

[@sachaguilhemjouan2082]

The Japanese Naval Ensign has become a symbol of the atrocities the Japanese forces committed before and during WWII, including the Nanjing Massacre in China and the kidnapping of thousands of Korean women to become "comfort girls" (sex slaves) for Japanese soldiers. This censorship can also be seen on German warships, where Nazi vessels feature an Iron Cross instead of the swastika on their ensign.

[@MrZashiratori]

Its because people get offended by history and what really happened so to make everyone try and forget the actual history of their vessels, they keep the actual designs, they keep the attributes, purposes and even details but leave out who made them, sailed them and even which flag they sailed under to make believe it didn't happen to appease those offended by true events in the past with these very same ships...

[@aliemreazgn3634]

[@rasmaster2111]

3:45, that ain't myoko lol

[@SuperCookiemonser]

I can agree on certain points and dissagree in othters. I think the AA armament is pretty bad compared to american cruisers, I am at T8 with both nations and cruisers, I had the Mogami before it was T8 and in my opinion the Myoko is the better ship. The AA guns are ok, they are fast and manouverable, more manouverable as the americans. The Torpedos are not as good as they could be. They got an awkward firing angle. I think artillery wise Japan has better damage, but a worse range, the Myoko has more range as the Mogami but less range as the New Orleans or Pensacola. Don't know how the torpedos are, I never scored a hit with the torpedos but they survive torpedos better as their american counterparts. I was in my New Orleans as I was hit by 2 I think air launched torpedos and they scored 34.000 Damage, I survived with 1000 HP. I think that's ridicolous, but that's just my opinion. In general the japanese cruisers are "lighter" they are faster and turn better, while the american cruisers are tools of destruction with their large AA batteries and rapid firing guns. But the japanese got more turrets so if a turret is gone, it is not as worse if you lose on turret on the New Orleans for example. THis was a infomative video, and I will try to brawl a little more with the Myoko. But one more thing, no Battleship captain would have let you come that close in a real battle, that's my expirience at least.

[@_dexcon_7008]

Torpedoes are rlly good, i use them when retreat. I get much kills i use that tactic

[@jonathanliu4816]

One day, Japan is going to make a cruiser with only torpedos

[@megametx6541]

Kitakami without gun

[@chikokishi7030]

What does being able to do "night battle" have to do with the game? How is that helpful? On a side note, can someone explain why he pronounces "Kuma" and "Keumar"?

[@MadSpectro7]

+Chiko Kishi 1. Japanese cruisers should probably be played as ambush predators. 2. He pronounces it that way because he's British, and Brits love to butcher the pronunciation of foreign words.

[@chikokishi7030]

random guy well... americans would likely say keumuh. sooo thats more correct lol. this arguement is ridiculous

In game Furutaka only has single barrel guns. Also they are much longer barrels if I am not mistaken. Are those 150mm guns then? Will we see them in game?

[@temy4895]

A FMB They are 140mm guns, the same ones used on Elite Katori and the premium Yuubari.

[@afmb9096]

Dominic Tolson Coool Did they change the atrocious 45s turn time? and does it now fire more than once every eternity? I really hated it with the 203s but I'd love to try that Ship with a good cruisers armament.

The turrets on the Furutaka are actually incorrect, in the game She has 6 203 mm one gun turrets

[@kobeh6185]

Zoltán Vári I speculate in the next update she can choose between light cruiser guns (140mm) and heavy cruiser guns (203), like mogami.

[@onyhow]

Manilla Ice Hope the Light cruiser gun would have better handling...the 203mm on Furutaka is ATROCIOUS!

[@lilkobabunga]

Most probably the 203 mm turret models weren't ready for the video so they put some Katori turrets on the ship, She won't have 140 mm guns, I am afraid :D

[@kobeh6185]

Zoltán Vári damn it

[@nishithasapukotanage2952]

Is the zao better than the des moines

[@poidachi6003]

Des Moines had better AA and rate of fire but no torps..she had longer and higher arcs and fewer range than Zao Zao on the other hand, had torps, troll armor that bounces 460mm shells in some unexplainable reason, and more powerful guns.....depends in your play style...if you want aggressive fights, let all Crusiers fear you, and just annoy ppl..Zao..if you like camping behind islands and burn the Yamato to death....also be the fear of DD's...Des Moines...

Aoba cruiser amazing for a torpedo ship

[@TheWTFworks]

If battleships are so all mighty why can a yamato not kill a Des Moines?With 6-7s reload you can just HE dumbfire this thing to shreds while its sitting there reloading its huge ass guns and you cant even be certain if you hit the cruiser in return...

[@Zerosen89]

because Crusiers are the most pwerful ships in the game, they reload faster so they can do 3x the hits a BB can, there is no way for a BB to outgun a crusier

[@TheWTFworks]

Zerosen89 dude that is exactly what i said...

[@Zerosen89]

TheWTFworks and DDs are worse, if your a Teir 6 Fuso, and you got a Teir 7 DD, you stand no chance, I got sunk by one who fired two torpedos into me and then shelled me, stood no chance

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

The only thing that the IJN cruisers have going for them are the torpedoes. If yo uwant lots of pewpew go the US line. As of right now ... Des Moines absuletley wrecks any ship that comes closer than 15.8 km. It fires shells so fast ... the last ones havent even hit yet.

[@petermelicher6908]

and then shimakaze comes and shoots 3x5 610 mm torpedoes from 8 km where you can't even see it

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

Peter Melicher Because sailing in one straight line is what any experienced player does :)

[@cobrazax]

Peter Melicher y only 8km? i believe it can reach up to 15km or 20km

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

cobrazax good luck hitting anything but idiots at that range :D

[@cobrazax]

Jerry Man yea the chances are better at that range, but u can shoot a group at a chokepoint that u know the enemy will go there, even from far away...
