Yeah I ' d mostly agree with this , if you have themIf you don ' t like playing with the ARP ships because woah shit that ' s bright , the standard Myoko and AtagoMogami are both worth keeping . If we assume the ARP ships don ' t exist , I ' d actually consider everything above the Aoba as worth having . As such , my recommendation would be to choose your favourites from other lines , and then backfill the gaps with IJN cruisers so that you have a cruiser at each tier you like to play . eg I love the Cleveland and quite like the Konigsberg , but I ' m not a huge fan of the Yorck , Pensacola , or Fiji so the Myoko is the perfect choice for me . I haven ' t got that high in the Russian tree yet . The same applies at pretty much any tier , IMO
