Mogami — Japan Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

According to the London Naval Treaty, Japan had the right to build cruisers with artillery up to 155 mm. New cruisers with 155 mm guns were ordered, but the weaponry was later replaced with 203 mm (8-inch) guns. During World War II, Mogami participated in the occupation of Indochina, as well as the invasions of Malaya, Sarawak, and Indonesia. She also fought in the Sunda Strait, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. On October 25, 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Mogami was heavily damaged by American torpedo bombers and finally finished off by destroyer Akebono.

Pros

• High damage per minute with 155's HE shells
• High firing accuracy of the 203's main battery
• Heavy torpedo damage

Cons

• Low gun traverse speed
• Low AA defense efficiency
• Limited torpedo launch angles
