World of Warships - Learn to Play: Tier VII Japanese Cruiser Myoko

[@pdorn1]

Got lucky with an Arpeggio crate last night and acquired ARP Haguro, so this breakdown and guide is really helpful for me. Thanks Raptor!

[@pyronuke4768]

A lot of the strange choices the IJN made while designing the Myoko's come from trying to fit a quart of capability into a pint size hull, so to speak. Lightly armored turrets, grouping the guns really close, a very narrow length to beam, and low freeboard were all done trying to comply with the 10k ton limit imposed by treaties of the era. Even so they were still a few hundred tons over the limit, to which the IJN figured they could probably scrape by on plausible deniability. (Upgrades in the late 30's to make them more stable pushed their displacement up to around 12k)

Fiji and Myoko. My 2 favorite T7 cruisers. 😊

I remember buying Atago and then comparing her to Myoko because Atago seemed to lack in damage output (I was a noob at the time). And Myoko turned out to be so much stronger. Of course Atago is the stronger ship, but purely from a DPM pov, Myoko is kinda crazy, also when compared to Mogami 8". Awesome video Raptor, I learned something new. 👍

[@NYCamper62]

One of my favorite t7 ships.

[@Chaser617]

Only reason Myoko herself didn’t stay in port for me is because I had her ARP sisters once they let us put any IJN captain on them. Ever since unlocking her in closed beta this has been one of my favorite cruisers. I will say this the light plating on the turret facing is one of the things is something they got historically accurate, the IJN cruisers were notorious for having comparatively light turret facings across all classes.

[@SeaRaptor]

Accurate, but irritating. ;)

[@old_guard2431]

Appreciate the advice. I have something like five of these including all of the ARP clones, and would like to get better use out of them. This reminds me of the early iChase videos - it will take a miracle to keep 10% of this stuff in my head once I hit the battle button.

[@SeaRaptor]

Glad it was helpful. Some of this advice is built off of simple experience; like anything else, there's no substitute for playing the ship. The more you play it, the more you are likely to learn and retain.

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

One tip Raptor: pronounce 'Groningen' as the word 'stoning' and then add 'un' so -st- Groningun.

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

Perfect timing, what with four of them currently available from the ARP collab.

[@SeaRaptor]

Huh, there you go then.

[@zandermercury1758]

Hello, will you be making the Murican Light Cruiser in the upcoming video? cuz I really like how you explain all type of ship... I just managed to get my hands on the Baltimore and that's what's up... you know

[@SeaRaptor]

I will do the American lights at some point in the future, yes. I need to wrap up the IJN torpedo DDs, then probably do the French or Italian DDs, then sometime early next year we'll get back to cruisers. I really want to do the British and American lights.

[@DRienecker]

Hi SeaRaptor. I just wanted to let you know - I don't think this video is apart of your Learn to Play Playlist, Japanese line seems to go from T6 to T8.

[@SeaRaptor]

Thanks for the catch, I'll fix it up.

[@ziros22]

How do you sell the old hulls and guns after you have upgraded to new ones?

[@SeaRaptor]

In the top left of your port, you can click on your emblem and drop down a menu. One of the choices there is "inventory". Should be able to sell back old modules there.

[@hashteraksgage3281]

Kinda tanky, good fire starter, accurate guns easy to aim even at max range, and insanely good kiting with the speed, rudder shift and torpedoes. And with dfaa chews though planes.

[@Potato_Factory_]

[@SeaRaptor]

I think that's a compliment? =D
