An advanced design of the ''[[Tenryu]]''-class cruiser. The ship's displacement exceeded that of her predecessor, which allowed for a reinforced artillery armament and more powerful propulsion. At the project design stage, the cruiser was faster than all existing cruisers and many destroyers.<br /><br />''Iwaki Alpha'' was awarded to testers in March 2015 who had played 100 matches during the Closed Alpha period. The ship has not been made available since.

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
*  Powerful torpedoes
''Iwaki Alpha'' is best treated as a destroyer (DD) that is the size of a cruiser. She has a smoke generator like a DD, and two triple racks of 610mm torpedoes with massive hitting power. With its light armor and good maneuverability this ship can wolf pack it with the best of them.  When played like a torpedo destroyer this ship can work wonders.
* Access to smoke generator consumable


The biggest drawback is ''Iwaki Alpha'''s cruiser sized hull with a deck-to-keel citadel. Stay undetected as much as you can.
===Cons===
* Low survivability
*  Weak main battery guns


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Fast and maneuverable.
* The guns can be made very accurate indeed.
* Hard hitting, stealthy, long-range torpedoes (10 km) that give her the ability to launch from outside detection range.
* Two triple center-line racks for a full six torpedo salvo.
* Equipped with the smoke generator and hydroacoustic search consumables.
* Has access to four upgrade module slots (compared to the usual two).


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->

''Iwaki'' (岩木, named after the Iwaki River) is based of the "Tenryu-Kai" project, a planned series of six long range light reconnaissance cruisers that were based off of the ''[[Tenryu]]''-class. These ships were essentially repeats of the previous ''Tenryu''-class as the only major difference was the installation of an additional 140mm gun. The class was cancelled in 1917 after the Japanese learned the details of the American ''[[Omaha]]''-class and realized the inferiority of the "Tenryu-Kai" project. The larger and more heavily armed ''[[Kuma]]''-class were built in their place.


===In-game historical inaccuracies===
<gallery>
* The project was given the name "Iwaki" by Wargaming in accordance with the Imperial Japanese tradition to name light cruisers after rivers.
</gallery>
* Allegedly a ship designed in 1916, but the Type 96 25 mm AA guns did not begin development until 1935. The triple mount version only entered service in 1941.

Iwaki Alpha — Japan Premium Tier IV Cruiser.

In the late 1910s, according to the plans for the development of the Japanese Navy, six cruisers based on the improved design of the Tenryū class were supposed to be built. Due to a number of new design solutions, these ships were supposed to receive an additional fifth main battery gun and have their hulls lightened. The project was never implemented, but its further development led to the creation of the Kuma-class cruisers.

Pros

  • Powerful torpedoes
  • Access to smoke generator consumable

Cons

  • Low survivability
  • Weak main battery guns
