Shimanto — Japan Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

The development of the Mogami-class cruisers into anti-aircraft defense cruisers, which implied mounting dual-purpose 150 mm guns developed in 1944 as the main armament. The mounting of these and 100 mm AA guns would make it possible to turn these cruisers into an effective weapon against American deck- and ground-based aviation.

Pros

• HE shells deal heavy damage per salvo
• Good torpedo range, damage, angles and amount
• 360° turret rotation

Cons

• Mediocre maneuverability
• Weak armor
• Low torpedo speed and high reaction time
