-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (妙高, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Mount Myōkō) is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese heavy cruiser {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]].
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (妙高, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Mount Myōkō) was the lead ship of the four-member Myoko-class heavy cruiser, which was first Japanese vessel exceeding the Washington Naval Treaty limits. She was launched in 1927 and commissioned in 1929. She saw action in several battles during World War II, such as the Battle of the Java Sea, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. In 1944, she suffered severe damage from air strikes and could not return to Japan. She remained in Singapore as a floating anti-aircraft platform with another heavy cruiser, Takao. They both survived the war, but were handed over to the Royal Navy and sunk as target practice in 1946.

 '''Enemies worth noting'''
-* Brooklyn-class - The ships of this class feature 15 6" guns which can fire HE and HE base fuse ammunition. Their rapid fire rate combine with a large explosive filler can devastate your crew and main turrets. While ships of this class feature shell rooms beneath each turret which can be detonated with your powerful guns; it usually requires multiple detonations to completely sink the ship or finishing off the remaining crew to prevent them from stopping the flooding. When engaging them ensure you actually kill them and did not just temporarily disable them.

-* [[USS Moffett|USS-Moffett]] - While the Moffett is an easy target to kill especially when aiming for the rear magazines, she can pose a great threat due to her rate of fire and powerful 5" high explosive rounds which can set fires and disable your guns. When engaging Moffetts or other US destroyers range can shift the advantage into your favor by minimizing the accuracy of their gunfire and preventing your turrets from being knocked out. However due to their small size and agility if they choose to take defensive actions it may be difficult to accurately hit them at range and it may be best to utilize smoke and disengage in search of more cooperative targets.

+The IJN Myoko features respectable armor for a heavy crusier, especially compared to its other 5.7 Japanese counterparts such as the [[IJN Aoba]]. The Main belt features 102mm of steel with the bulkheads and ammo elevators being 76mm thick. Contrary to other ships, the Myoko's frontal magazines are only protected by 76mm of steel whilst the rear magazines are protected by 102mm of steel. Both the magazines are housed below the waterline making magazine detonations fairly uncommon unless taking fire from guns larger than 8".

+Due to the Myoko's moderate crew complement and armor she is able to take some damage when needed. However, as the powerful 203mm cannons provide great long range firepower and the floatplanes limit your rear turrets' ability's to engage targets in front of you, the Myoko excels in long range combat. In order to maximize your protection you can sail the ship away from your enemies utilizing the great firing arcs of your forward turrets to keep all guns on target while being heavily angled. This tactic will also mitigate the fact that your bridge features no armor by making it harder to hit and place your most armored sections of the ship in the line of fire.
