We continue to focus on the cruiser class in the Naval Academy series, this time on the vessels under the Japanese banner and how they differ from their US counterparts. worldofwarships...
Myoko is amazing , one of the best cruisers in her tier . Got historical cammo for her and 750 battles in , fire at max range , use torps to fire into caps and smoke and opportunistic attacks . Surprisingly well protected when angled and can ping shells off , but has a big citadel which is certainly vulnerable , never show broadside when possible
The Japanese Naval Ensign has become a symbol of the atrocities the Japanese forces committed before and during WWII, including the Nanjing Massacre in China and the kidnapping of thousands of Korean women to become "comfort girls" (sex slaves) for Japanese soldiers. This censorship can also be seen on German warships, where Nazi vessels feature an Iron Cross instead of the swastika on their ensign.
Its because people get offended by history and what really happened so to make everyone try and forget the actual history of their vessels, they keep the actual designs, they keep the attributes, purposes and even details but leave out who made them, sailed them and even which flag they sailed under to make believe it didn't happen to appease those offended by true events in the past with these very same ships...
I can agree on certain points and dissagree in othters. I think the AA armament is pretty bad compared to american cruisers, I am at T8 with both nations and cruisers, I had the Mogami before it was T8 and in my opinion the Myoko is the better ship. The AA guns are ok, they are fast and manouverable, more manouverable as the americans. The Torpedos are not as good as they could be. They got an awkward firing angle. I think artillery wise Japan has better damage, but a worse range, the Myoko has more range as the Mogami but less range as the New Orleans or Pensacola. Don't know how the torpedos are, I never scored a hit with the torpedos but they survive torpedos better as their american counterparts. I was in my New Orleans as I was hit by 2 I think air launched torpedos and they scored 34.000 Damage, I survived with 1000 HP. I think that's ridicolous, but that's just my opinion. In general the japanese cruisers are "lighter" they are faster and turn better, while the american cruisers are tools of destruction with their large AA batteries and rapid firing guns. But the japanese got more turrets so if a turret is gone, it is not as worse if you lose on turret on the New Orleans for example. THis was a infomative video, and I will try to brawl a little more with the Myoko. But one more thing, no Battleship captain would have let you come that close in a real battle, that's my expirience at least.
What does being able to do "night battle" have to do with the game? How is that helpful? On a side note, can someone explain why he pronounces "Kuma" and "Keumar"?
+Chiko Kishi 1. Japanese cruisers should probably be played as ambush predators. 2. He pronounces it that way because he's British, and Brits love to butcher the pronunciation of foreign words.
Most probably the 203 mm turret models weren't ready for the video so they put some Katori turrets on the ship, She won't have 140 mm guns, I am afraid :D
In game Furutaka only has single barrel guns. Also they are much longer barrels if I am not mistaken. Are those 150mm guns then? Will we see them in game?
Dominic Tolson Coool Did they change the atrocious 45s turn time? and does it now fire more than once every eternity? I really hated it with the 203s but I'd love to try that Ship with a good cruisers armament.
how much time to the game be launch i realy want to play but i am from brasil so possibly it will get here to late and i relly whant to play so when he will be lauched ? ( sorry about mi ingles )
Des Moines had better AA and rate of fire but no torps..she had longer and higher arcs and fewer range than Zao Zao on the other hand, had torps, troll armor that bounces 460mm shells in some unexplainable reason, and more powerful guns.....depends in your play style...if you want aggressive fights, let all Crusiers fear you, and just annoy ppl..Zao..if you like camping behind islands and burn the Yamato to death....also be the fear of DD's...Des Moines...
If battleships are so all mighty why can a yamato not kill a Des Moines?With 6-7s reload you can just HE dumbfire this thing to shreds while its sitting there reloading its huge ass guns and you cant even be certain if you hit the cruiser in return...
because Crusiers are the most pwerful ships in the game, they reload faster so they can do 3x the hits a BB can, there is no way for a BB to outgun a crusier
TheWTFworks and DDs are worse, if your a Teir 6 Fuso, and you got a Teir 7 DD, you stand no chance, I got sunk by one who fired two torpedos into me and then shelled me, stood no chance
Their shipbuilding was quite good, but their radar tech was inferior (partly because they didn't utilize their own inventions) and their anti-aircraft guns were underpowered.
The only thing that the IJN cruisers have going for them are the torpedoes. If yo uwant lots of pewpew go the US line. As of right now ... Des Moines absuletley wrecks any ship that comes closer than 15.8 km. It fires shells so fast ... the last ones havent even hit yet.

The gun sounds of WoWS is really good. Maybe WoWS should lend some of its sound engineers to WoT because that game has terrible sound effects.
ApexPredator_ I believe the dev team for WoWS is the same for WoWP and WoT
@@dumbcow7722GD No it is not.
The fast cruisers are the heart and soul of the Combined Fleet.
2:27 Tatsuta? I think that it's Tenryuu of course I know it's the same class but the class name was Tenryuu
they changed the name years ago
Its tenryu
Why are all the Japanese warships flying the ensigns of merchant vessels?
Because Koreans and Chinese get offended by the Japanese naval ensign
Ambush tactics made easier.

Its because people are scared of reality so they decide not to see it
These videos are really well made. I hope they grab a lot more attention when the game leaves the CBT.

3:46 thats Mogami not Myoko......Mogami’s turrets are arranged like so
_- -_ _
Myoko’s are like
_ - _-_
Lol
Well mogami is more like

Accurate
That's ether 203 mogami or Ibuki

Torpedoes are rlly good, i use them when retreat. I get much kills i use that tactic
And they look the best too.
5:10 Did he make mistake saying 1951 instead of 1941??
No
No it was a design slated to be built around 1951. Obviously didn’t make it
Nope it’s just the terrible UA-cam subtitles
No Zao is supposed to be made in 1951
3:45, that ain't myoko lol
zao is my favorite cruiser in the game

random guy well... americans would likely say keumuh. sooo thats more correct lol. this arguement is ridiculous
Mr. Meems l
He’s British duh!
I'm already using Myoko from Aoba, kind of hard to maneuver but the module upgrade can help (Fast Rudder movement)
the mighty myouko appear.... Banzai
Is it me or the mogami doesn't have the Chrysanthemum symbol on the tip of the Bow?
One day, Japan is going to make a cruiser with only torpedos
Kitakami without gun
3:45 that’s Mogami
Ryan Japan Myoko also had 5 turrets as well
Lee Hong Jin but other then that they have very little other than vague similarities
@@ryanjapan3113 they have a distinct turret layout
@@Oats4Life yeah they do, thanks for pointing that out :)
@@ryanjapan3113 no problem
"Night battle". Savo Island reference?
What about the cruisers of other nations in the game¿
every ship introduction video must be updated
1:04 can someone please tell me what ship is that ?
IJN Zao, Tier X.
TORIGAJI-IPPAI!!!
Ultranationalist941 *torikaji
What about German cruisers? What do you say about them World of Warships?
wait, I thought Mogami was basically a souped up hull that had the Myoko and Takao facemelt to form?
Says myoko shows mogami 🤦🏼♂️
The turrets on the Furutaka are actually incorrect, in the game She has 6 203 mm one gun turrets
Zoltán Vári I speculate in the next update she can choose between light cruiser guns (140mm) and heavy cruiser guns (203), like mogami.
Manilla Ice Hope the Light cruiser gun would have better handling...the 203mm on Furutaka is ATROCIOUS!
Most probably the 203 mm turret models weren't ready for the video so they put some Katori turrets on the ship, She won't have 140 mm guns, I am afraid :D
Zoltán Vári
damn it
3:45 Nani?
In game Furutaka only has single barrel guns.
Also they are much longer barrels if I am not mistaken.
Are those 150mm guns then?
Will we see them in game?
A FMB They are 140mm guns, the same ones used on Elite Katori and the premium Yuubari.
Dominic Tolson Coool
Did they change the atrocious 45s turn time? and does it now fire more than once every eternity?
I really hated it with the 203s but I'd love to try that Ship with a good cruisers armament.
I'm gonna take this line.
Useful line intro. Can wargaming get heavy cruiser lines?
you ask. they add
how much time to the game be launch i realy want to play but i am from brasil so possibly it will get here to late and i relly whant to play so when he will be lauched ? ( sorry about mi ingles )
Are we talking about the same furutaka? As mine even with traverse commander perk takes forever and 15 second reload speed? And feels slow asf?
Believe it or not , it used to be a lot of fun in those days of the game

@@martinlisitsata Shes still a good ship lol
I normaly play ijn ships because they were built to ecxeed other ships due to the ijn side could not build many ships
Nice
Aoba cruiser amazing for a torpedo ship
*Z-AO*
All around cruiser needs torpedo, just like foot solider equipped with grenades,
3:45, THATS TAKAO
No that is Mogami
Where is Takao?
Ara~ Ara~ Onee-san~
Dafuq is there a Phoenix fighting a Zao?
Lol
have you seen other videos that a clemson is fighting a Yamato
Is the zao better than the des moines
Des Moines had better AA and rate of fire but no torps..she had longer and higher arcs and fewer range than Zao
Zao on the other hand, had torps, troll armor that bounces 460mm shells in some unexplainable reason, and more powerful guns.....depends in your play style...if you want aggressive fights, let all Crusiers fear you, and just annoy ppl..Zao..if you like camping behind islands and burn the Yamato to death....also be the fear of DD's...Des Moines...
If battleships are so all mighty why can a yamato not kill a Des Moines?With 6-7s reload you can just HE dumbfire this thing to shreds while its sitting there reloading its huge ass guns and you cant even be certain if you hit the cruiser in return...

Zerosen89 dude that is exactly what i said...
TheWTFworks and DDs are worse, if your a Teir 6 Fuso, and you got a Teir 7 DD, you stand no chance, I got sunk by one who fired two torpedos into me and then shelled me, stood no chance
Cos' BB's are tanks that are strong when grouped.
…
POI
I destroyed with tier 4 3 battleships thanks to the torpedoes
Japanise crucers îs the Best crucers in the game
And they forgot the german cruisers
Torpedis !
Wait a sec the Japanese teir 5 cruiser is shown with doubled barrelled guns? Can they really get them I've seen reviews of it and it doesn't show them
afraid of the dark it's upgraded
It doesn't have 6x2 guns anymore. It right now has 6x1 and maxed, has 3x2
I Regret buying Kawachi 1st...
Japanese had such brilliant machinary but at last became useless in WW2 end.
That because Their stupidity
Their shipbuilding was quite good, but their radar tech was inferior (partly because they didn't utilize their own inventions) and their anti-aircraft guns were underpowered.
The only thing that the IJN cruisers have going for them are the torpedoes.
If yo uwant lots of pewpew go the US line. As of right now ... Des Moines absuletley wrecks any ship that comes closer than 15.8 km. It fires shells so fast ... the last ones havent even hit yet.
and then shimakaze comes and shoots 3x5 610 mm torpedoes from 8 km where you can't even see it
Peter Melicher Because sailing in one straight line is what any experienced player does :)
Peter Melicher
y only 8km?
i believe it can reach up to 15km or 20km
cobrazax good luck hitting anything but idiots at that range :D
Jerry Man
yea the chances are better at that range, but u can shoot a group at a chokepoint that u know the enemy will go there, even from far away...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cruisers
Mogami and armor = bad non existant combo
look at the FPS at 5:51 wtf wargaming optimize your freaking game i get that shit in game as well
日本人見てる?
The AA is non-existant tbh
WoW, like WoT, is an arcade game that simply does not reflect the realities and complexities of naval warfare.
