The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]].

The Japanese destroyer '''Momi''' (樅, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Japanese fir tree) was the lead ship of her class, notable for being the first Japanese destroyers armed with 533 mm torpedo tubes. Constructed at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal as part of the 1918 Programme, she was launched in June 1919 and commissioned in December 1919. Momi's career was uneventful and she was stricken from the Navy List in April 1932, serving as an experimental hulk at Yokosuka until 1936 before being broken up at a later date.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Japanese destroyer introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]]. She is notable for a very good primary armament and excellent torpedoes, though at the expense of below-average survivability, despite her armour over the engine spaces. She is best played in a highly aggressive manner, ambushing enemy vessels and dictating engagements thanks to her good mobility. Her main guns are of a calibre high enough to either cripple or outright destroy most motor torpedo boats with a single HE shell hit. However, she struggles to respond to aerial attacks, as her two 7.7 mm machine guns are grossly inadequate, even against the weakest biplanes.

The Type 6 torpedoes feature a combination of excellent speed and range, while still carrying a relatively good warhead. It's best to keep the Torpedo Modification uninstalled, as it decreases the speed by 17 km/h to extend the range far beyond what is useful on maps within this BR range. The torpedo tubes lack some forward firing angle, trading it for a wider arc to the aft of the vessel, which can be utilised with tight turns to leave a “goodbye gift” for any enemy you are attempting to disengage from.

The Japanese destroyer Momi was the lead ship of her class of 21 second-class destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in three distinct sub-classes (8 Momi-sublcass, 5 Fuji-subclass and 8 Ashi-subclass) as the first Japanese destroyers armed with the 533 mm torpedo tubes.

Additionally, there was a Momo class (桃) with a similar Latin transliteration and the lead ship, Momo herself, launched on 12 October 1916.

Description

The Japanese destroyer Momi (樅, namesake: Japanese fir tree) was the lead ship of her class, notable for being the first Japanese destroyers armed with 533 mm torpedo tubes. Constructed at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal as part of the 1918 Programme, she was launched in June 1919 and commissioned in December 1919. Momi's career was uneventful and she was stricken from the Navy List in April 1932, serving as an experimental hulk at Yokosuka until 1936 before being broken up at a later date.

The Momi class, IJN Momi, 1930 is a Japanese destroyer introduced in Update "Sons of Attila". She is notable for a very good primary armament and excellent torpedoes, though at the expense of below-average survivability, despite her armour over the engine spaces. She is best played in a highly aggressive manner, ambushing enemy vessels and dictating engagements thanks to her good mobility. Her main guns are of a calibre high enough to either cripple or outright destroy most motor torpedo boats with a single HE shell hit. However, she struggles to respond to aerial attacks, as her two 7.7 mm machine guns are grossly inadequate, even against the weakest biplanes.

Main fire tower15 / 15 / 0 mm
Hull15 mm (steel)
Superstructure15 mm (steel)

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Mobility

Main article: 120 mm/45 3rd Year Type (120 mm)

Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Additional armament

Setup 14 x 533 mm Type 6 wet-heater torpedo
Main article: Type 6 (533 mm)

The Type 6 torpedoes feature a combination of excellent speed and range, while still carrying a relatively good warhead. It's best to keep the Torpedo Modification uninstalled, as it decreases the speed by 17 km/h to extend the range far beyond what is useful on maps within this BR range. The torpedo tubes lack some forward firing angle, trading it for a wider arc to the aft of the vessel, which can be utilised with tight turns to leave a “goodbye gift” for any enemy you are attempting to disengage from.

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very good damage output
  • 4 highly capable torpedoes
  • Above-average mobility
  • One of the lowest-BR destroyers with armour on parts of the hull
  • Shell rooms located deep below the waterline

Cons:

  • Extremely poor secondary armament, with just two 7.7 mm guns on the sides of the bridge
  • While her armour can stop HE shells, it is ineffective against anything else, including AP belts from autocannons or heavy machine guns
  • Aft gun cannot rotate 360°
  • Low guidance speed of the main guns

History

Constructed at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal as a part of the 1918 Programme, she was laid down on 23 January 1918, launched on 10 June 1919, and commissioned on 27 December 1919.

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
