He would have been torped dead anyways if he didn't get detonated. 2. I have enough exp on my ARP Myokos to research all the modules of the standard Myoko up to the Mogami.

204 [R-R-R] Exciton8964 Members 1,069 posts 11,452 battles Report post #2 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Mogami will be a let-down after playing the very strong Myoko. But the ship is probably no so strong that it needs a nerf. Edited February 20, 2017 by Exciton8964 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Don't any of you watch the hints that pop up while waiting for a game? One of them says that a detonation may occur if a ship receives a torpedo hit at the base of a turret.

She excels when she's second line, or when she gets the drop on targets. In ranked it's much harder to put her advantages to use, while poor her turret traverse comes into play much more frequently.

I swear, myokos are always broadside. Always. IIRC the turning speed and radius works out to more than 30 seconds to do a 180. This means you can't turn to escape a BB without taking citadels. That was my only gripe about the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The few times I've been detonated in a BB was by a torpedo hitting the base of one of my turrets. I still remember the very last time very clearly. I'm in ranked with my Bismarck, and I see a torp wall incoming. I cut engines and push rudder to max deflection. I saw myself avoiding all but one and I thought that that was more than acceptable. It slams into the base of my number 2 turret and I detonate from full health. Yes it made me salty. But I sure as hell cringe every single time now when I'm about to take a torpedo hit under a turret Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

139 Sethanas Members 739 posts 7,780 battles Report post #15 Posted February 20, 2017 Mogami will be a let-down after playing the very strong Myoko. Easy fix... If-HE (HEAP) + 155s. The Mogami's DPM goes threw the roof, and you dont really lose the fires cause your fire chance is wasted once you've saturated the target with fires anyways. Add to that the sick concealment and potent torps.... I liked the Myoko, but the Mogami is a pretty major step up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,150 [HINON] RivertheRoyal Privateers 6,266 posts 3,405 battles Report post #16 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) You cheeky, I bet you are enjoying your ranked potato camo. You see, but the blokes in ranked see an ARP or dragon ship, and automatically think it's a potato bringing out their only T7. Then, you wait. Let them underestimate you. And when you're still floating at the end of the match, a full clutch of medals won and damage dealt with the sinking hulls of your enemies, you can laugh as they wonder—"Why didn't we sink this guy sooner?" (It'll be because the poor girl in her Nagato was thinking that the three Fiji's on the opposite side of her were the bigger threats. They weren't. Fire damage—fml. Never underestimate a Myoko.)

267 Cruiser_Chicago ∞ Members 807 posts 7,069 battles Report post #19 Posted February 20, 2017 Ehh I don't think the Myoko is a suitable ship for ranked. With the bad firing angles, slow turret traverse, and a large turning circle, it's pretty hard trying to dish out meaningful damage without getting nuked by a BB. IJN CAs need a lot of room to maneuver and kite around, so I think they're more geared towards Random Battles and not the static and campy battles of Ranked.

153 [-BMV-] Angelhunter Members 763 posts 5,345 battles Report post #22 Posted February 21, 2017 If there's one ship i absolutely don't fear in ranked it's a Myoko. Fires? Sorry, I'm more worried about that Belfast over there. Torps? You gotta get in my "i don't miss" range for you to drop them on me. Trying to kite away? Scharnhorst has frickin laser beam shells for a BB. Yeah, Myoko is not feared at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or they are off in the distance trying to do Random HE spam and failing the rest of the team. I have seen a few Myokos played VERY well in Ranked. The key word there is "few". Most shouldn't be playing Ranked at all. A great player can bring a Kiev and do well in Ranked, but that doesn't mean she's a good choice of DD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
