IJN Myogi

[Unintentional_submarine]

So far, I must say that I do not like this ship so far. Maybe it will grow on me, who knows but so far the pros do not make up for the cons. 

 

Myogi, with top hull has great range which would be a great advantage if the guns could actually hit anything at this kinds of distances - with small amount of guns you have to be insanely good at aiming AND lucky to hit more than single shells. Because you only have six main guns in dual turrets any kind of ranging shots are basically out of question - you have to lead your shots perfectly, with no area for errors. Surprisingly - I find Wyoming class to be more accurate than Myogi... And with more guns actually landing the shots reliably is way easier.

 

This alone is ruining this ship - your range in most cases barely matters because you can't use it very effectively and at closer ranges the only thing saving you is decent health pool - armour is poor as it is and speed, while awesome is good only in duels against american battleships - allowing you to keep them at safe distance for longer. Anything else will be able to catch you or outrun you anyway.

 

Now, secondaries are fantastic, giving you decent protection against stray destroyers but they will still massacre you with torpedoes - at expense of a lot of health, but still - Myogi simply can't turn well enough to effectively avoid torps - not that it should...

 

Basically - with Myogi I just don't feel like I can really do anything of substance, which is kind of bad...

 

 

If you engage battleships primarily you aren't using the Myogi to her advantage. She can keep up with cruisers, so they can't just run away, and the fast turrets mean she can quickly turn around and stay on target. She knocks cruisers like no other ship at that level, and when placed in a fight she can't win, she can run away while hitting the enemy quite well.

 

She works very very badly if you let enemy Wyomings stay on target or present your broadside to them. It is simple. Avoid fights with battleships. You are sitting in a battlecruiser of WWI style, the type of ship that fared poorly in exactly that sort of battle. Instead use her like the WWI battlecruisers were supposed to, kill cruisers and dictate the fight.

Oh, thanks for advice here. I will definitely try it out. We'll see how it works.
