| The first Japanese cruiser built after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 came into force. Unlike foreign Treaty Cruisers, ''Myoko''’s armor was good enough to withstand artillery strikes from ships of the same type. One of the features of the project was well-developed torpedo protection. Following a series of upgrades, cruisers of this class got a substantially reinforced AA and torpedo armament.<!-- <br><br>{{Model3DViewer|d171273eb20a40239ca4a1f227829b30}}-->

| |
| | |
| Tier VII ''Myōkō'' marks a major improvement over her predecessors. She mounts a heavier main battery compared to Aoba with more torpedoes, providing a much more powerful punch. She continues the trend of the Japanese cruisers, with accurate guns which fire some of the strongest HE shells at her tier, but poor turret traverse and weak AA.
| |
| | |
| <h4>The Ship</h4>
| |
| ''Myōkō'' has a top speed of 35 knots, one of the fastest at her tier, and she can outpace most opponents she will face. Her maneuverability is a mixed bag. Although her turning circle of 780 meters is rather large, her rudder shift of 7.1 seconds is one of the best at Tier VII. She will change directions quickly but needs space to complete her turns, which makes maneuvering in confined spaces difficult. Her concealment of 12.76 km is worse than ''[[Aoba]]'', and leaves her more vulnerable to being spotted.
| |
| | |
| ''Myōkō'' mounts a standard cruiser {{Damage Control Party}}, which is active for 5 seconds with a 60 second cool down. Her second slot has a choice of consumables – {{Hydroacoustic Search}} or {{Defensive AA Fire}}. Hydroacoustic Search is the optimal choice, to detect torpedoes at 3 km and ships at 4 km for 100 seconds. The Defensive AA Fire will provide a 50% boost to her continuous AA damage, but her weaker AA means the benefits are rather limited. In her third slot, ''Myōkō'' carries a {{Catapult Fighter}} which launches a pair of fighters that patrol around the ship for up to 1 minute. Finally, she mounts a {{Submarine Surveillance}} which will detect submerged submarines out to 5 km for 20 seconds.
| |
| | |
| <h4>Survivability</h4>
| |
| With 16 mm of plating, ''Myōkō’s'' bow and stern can bounce most heavy cruiser AP when sufficiently angled. However, she is vulnerable to all calibers of HE round, as well as AP overmatch from larger cruiser and all battleship guns. Her citadel runs from the forward turrets all the way to the aft turrets. Although much of it is below the waterline, there is a large raised section between her bridge and rear superstructure. With 102 mm of citadel armor, ''Myōkō’s'' citadel is vulnerable to cruiser AP at most ranges, although the presence of anti-torpedo bulges adds a small amount of extra protection. ''Myōkō'' has one of the largest health pools for a Tier VII cruiser.
| |
| | |
| <h4>Armament</h4>
| |
| ''Myōkō'' introduces a much-improved main battery from her predecessors. With ten 203 mm guns she has better DPM despite having a slower reload. These guns will become familiar to players, as they form the main armament of the rest of the line with the possible exception of ''[[Mogami]]''. ''Myōkō'' has the usual improved dispersion common to Japanese 203 mm guns, so players can expect their shells to group closer together. With her larger main battery, ''Myōkō'' can land some seriously damaging salvos. A 15.6 km main battery range is decent, although ''Myōkō'' faces cruisers with much greater range when downtiered.
| |
| | |
| ''Myōkō'' has typical Japanese HE rounds, with some of the highest damage at her tier and a good fire chance per shell. Between her improved dispersion and high HE damage, ''Myōkō'' poses a serious threat to destroyers and even armored targets. Under ideal conditions ''Myōkō'' can set up to 7 fires a minute; while this does not match the fire starting potential of many light cruisers, ''Myōkō'' will cause more direct damage in between starting fires. Her AP rounds are best used against broadside cruisers, but they lack penetration compared to most 203 mm guns at Tier VII.
| |
| | |
| As expected, ''Myōkō'' mounts a powerful torpedo armament with two triple launchers on each side. A 10 km range is good, but ''Myōkō'' lacks the ability to safely launch them from stealth. These also have very restrictive launch arcs, with almost nonexistent forward angles. Her torpedoes are a poor choice as an offensive option, as positioning to attack a target will require showing an almost flat broadside. As such, her torpedoes are more suited for launching at pursuing enemies.
| |
|
| |
| <h4>Anti-Air</h4>
| |
| ''Myōkō'' has fairly poor anti-air defenses. Her long-range weapons reach out to 5.8 km but her DPS and flak count are low. She lacks any medium-range weapons, and with her light AA only starting to fire at 2.5 km, they offer little deterrent to any carriers wanting to make an attack.
| |
| | |
| <h4>Anti-Submarine</h4>
| |
| ''Myōkō'' has access to an ASW airstrike, allowing her to attack submarines at up to 6 km away. Each strike drops two charges, and she can have 2 attacks ready to use with a 30 second reload. She can use her {{Submarine Surveillance}} consumable to aid in spotting submerged submarines from safe distances. However, her weak armor and poor concealment mean she shouldn’t actively hunt them.
| |
| | |
| <h4>Battle Performance</h4>
| |
| ''Myōkō'' is poorly suited to close range combat, where her slow turret traverse means that tracking maneuvering targets is difficult. Rather she should stay at medium ranges, where she will be able to use her concealment to reach good firing positions and her improved dispersion will allow accurate attacks.
| |
| | |
| Players will need to use effective positioning and ammunition selection in order to compensate for Myōkō’s low base damage output. A well-aimed salvo can potentially cripple an enemy cruiser or destroyer, if the right ammunition is selected. For this reason, the Gun Feeder captain skill is recommended as it will allow players to more quickly switch ammunition types.
| |
| | |
| Although her torpedoes can be devastating, their slow speed and high reaction time mean that they cannot be relied on to regularly land serious hits. Their poor launch angles also mean they are dangerous to use at close ranges. But their long range and relatively slow speed make them good area denial weapons, and they can be effective weapons when kiting away or engaging targets which are closing to engage.

| ====Design====
| |
| The four ''Myōkō''-class cruisers (妙高型巡洋艦 Myōkō-gata jun'yōkan?) were built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the late 1920s. Three were lost during World War II.
| |
| | |
| The ships of this class displaced 11,633 tons (standard), were 201 m (661 ft) long, and were capable of 36 knots (67 km/h). They carried two aircraft and their main armament was ten 20-centimeter (7.9 in) guns in five twin turrets. At the time, this was the heaviest armament of any cruiser class in the world. They were also the first cruisers the Japanese Navy constructed that exceeded the (10,000 ton) limit set by the Washington Naval Treaty.

| |
| **Improved display of thin elements. The changes do not affect the game balance in any way.
| |
| *Update 0.6.15:
| |
| **For the permanent Type 17 camouflage, the discount on ship maintenance was increased from -5% to -10%.
| |
| *Update 0.7.2:
| |
| **Players who have collected the "Uniform Elements" sub-collection of the "Yamomoto Isoroku" collection can use an alternate permanent camouflage color.
| |
| *Update 0.7.6:
| |
| **Fixed a bug where there was no torpedo protection on the base hull. Protection returned to the ship and is now equal to the indicator on the researched hull.
| |
| **Improved display of thin elements on the hull.
| |
| *Update 0.7.10:
| |
| **The range of the Hydroacoustic Search consumable was unified: 4 km for detecting ships, 3 km for detecting torpedoes.

| *Update 0.9.2:
| |
| **Central armor was reinforced from 16 to 25 mm.
| |
| *Update 0.10.0:
| |

| |
| *Update 0.10.3:
| |
| **Hulls (A) and (B) were removed, Hull (C) was renamed to Hull (B). A new base hull was created on the basis of Hull (C) with a modified air defense composition.
| |
