![]() Even heavily armored ships may rethink their attack for fear of her HE shells ignoring their armor advantage. Careless opponents may see their entire push obliterated by a wall of torpedoes. Compared to other kiting cruisers, Yoshino is unique in that she can use both her guns and torpedoes to stall or even defeat major pushes. Similar to her smaller cousin Zao, Yoshino's play style favors mid to long range combat, whittling opponents down in preparation for a decisive counter-attack. Though she has to be wary of BBs with larger than 430mm guns as their AP will overmatch Yoshino's 30mm armor and severely damage her. However when properly angled, Yoshino will have no trouble bouncing the majority of enemy AP shots that come her way. Like other Japanese cruisers, Yoshino also has issues with taking citadel hits through her poorly protected stern. Her extremely vulnerable citadel means that an ill-timed maneuver can quickly send her back to port. However, Yoshino is surprisingly fragile for a ship her size. Still, the threat of damage will force enemies to react, which can set up opportunities for Yoshino or her teammates. ![]() That being said, the torpedoes have a high detection range and thus are easy to dodge. If her guns weren't scary enough, Yoshino also carries 20km torpedoes that can deal crippling damage to anything they hit. This is somewhat offset by her slower reload, though it is faster than other supercruisers. Her AP also has very good penetration and will frequently land citadel strikes on broadside cruisers. Her HE sports high penetration, allowing her to punch through 50mm of armor found on heavily armored cruisers and battleships such as Petropavlovsk. Her 9x 310mm guns are both powerful and more accurate than most supercruisers. Yoshino can best be described as a sort of "hybrid" between the Tier X Japanese battleship Yamato and cruiser Zao. Complementing and defending her arsenal is an effective anti-aircraft suite. ![]() And for her size, she is relatively quick and agile. Armed with 9x 310mm main guns and 16x 610mm long lance torpedoes, she is well-armed for a cruiser of her size. Yoshino is a Japanese supercruiser at Tier X.
