Ship:Zaō CLR

X

26,000 doubloons

Zaō CLR — Japan Special Tier X Cruiser.

Eight heavy cruisers were supposed to be built under the Japanese naval building program. They were a further development of the Takao, Tone, and Mogami classes. It was planned to arm these ships with twelve 203 mm guns in four turrets—a traditional arrangement. Their armor was designed to withstand 203 mm HE shell hits. The number of ships was later reduced to four, and eventually, their construction was canceled altogether.

Pros

• High firing accuracy of the main battery
• Heavy torpedo damage
• Low detectability

Cons

• Small HP pool
• Limited torpedo launch angles
