Overview

Omono is a Tier VI Japanese IJN cruiser with the improved AP fuse: her AP shells arm at 60% of the standard armor threshold, so they citadel cruisers that would over-pen a normal CA round. Her bounce angles are the standard ones though, and a shell that fails the angle check wastes its penetration entirely, so the fuse is a reward for catching a target flat rather than a reason to load AP by default. Spam HE, and switch to AP the moment a broadside actually presents itself. Sonar (4.3 km on ships and 4.3 km on torpedoes, 60 s active, 110 s reload, long uptime) lights up DDs and torpedoes inside its bubble, which lets her contest the cap edge without taking the spotting cycle. Standout traits: best torpedo alpha in T6 CAs (19,567, 1st of 34) and best torpedo range in T6 CAs (13.5 km, 1st of 34). The trade is thin armor in T6 CAs (76 mm, 43rd of 44).

Positioning

Work the islands rather than a firing line. Sonar (4.3 km on ships, 4.3 km on torpedoes) is the whole kit, and it only pays inside that radius, so hold the cover beside a contested cap and use it to catch destroyers and torpedoes coming around the corner: HE into the destroyer, AP into any cruiser that shows you a broadside while it sits in smoke. Firing from a friendly smoke reveals you at 5.7 km, so pick the salvo rather than holding the trigger. Your guns lose penetration at range, so aim AP at broadsides you can still citadel and put HE into superstructures and upper-hull sections, rather than the bow-in or belt armor your shells bounce and shatter on.

Potato Avoidance

Holding torpedoes for a perfect drop

The torps are a threat tool: putting them into a lane forces rotations even when they miss. Drops on probable lanes are worth more than waiting for a guaranteed broadside that never appears.

Signature Traits

Improved AP fuse (IJN cruiser)

AP arms at 60% of the standard armor threshold (vs 0.9 default). Lets your AP pen broadsiding cruisers that would over-pen a normal CA, citadel hunts the cohort can't pull off, shared by 7/44 T6 CAs.

ELITE TORPEDOES ↗
  • Heavy torpedoes · 19567 damage
  • Long-range torps · 13.5 km
  • Module-wrecking torpedoes · 1400 torpedo
Top-tier AA ↗

401 AA DPS, top quartile of T6 CAs (median 267.5).

Wide torpedo sonar ↗

4.3 km Sonar torpedo-detection range, best of T6 CAs. More reaction time on incoming torps.

Thin armor ↗

76 mm max plate, bottom decile of T6 CAs. Citadel windows open against peer-tier guns. AP above 456 mm of caliber cannot arm on 76 mm at flat impact and overpenetrates for minimal damage; angling adds effective thickness and can push those same shells over the arming threshold, turning overpens into full penetrations.

Visible torps ↗

1.7 km torpedo detect, bottom decile of the 34 T6 CAs with torpedoes. Spotted early, so targets get a long look and room to turn out.

Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. The superstructure is not exempt: it saturates exactly like the bow and stern, so shells aimed at it stop dealing full damage once this pool is used up. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Maximum simulated damage
ƒMost targets only intersect one hull section, so a hit transfers about 1/3 of the warhead alpha (2/3 when the warhead blast >= 5000 and the burst reaches a second section). For this ship: Dsim=α·c=58,700·0.333=19,567. In battle, a hit on the torpedo belt deals the per-hit figure × (1 − the target's torpedo protection %), a bow or stern hit deals it in full, and a torpedo never counts as a citadel hit.
≈ 19,567
Maximum damage (ammunition)
ƒ58,700 warhead alpha / 3 + 1,400 blast = 20,967. Warhead alpha / 3 plus the blast addend: the per-torpedo damage figure. The 'Maximum simulated damage' row above applies target geometry to the same warhead.
20,967
Torpedo module damage
ƒPer-torpedo module/blast damage parameter. Most torpedoes carry 500 to 2,000; ships announced by WG as dealing increased module damage carry 9,000 to 12,000, so their hits knock out engines, rudders, and turrets far more often. Comparative figure.

11.1 s
Flooding chance
ƒThis torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 3.55 per hit, shown as 3.55×100=355%. Values above 100% are normal: in battle the base chance is scaled down by the target's torpedo protection (the Torp Reduction stat on its Survivability card) and any flood-resistance modifiers, so a value above 100% keeps flooding likely even through partial protection.

AA explosions
ƒEach ~2 s salvo fires 2 AA explosions in quick succession, each leaving 3 clouds ahead of the attacking squadron, plus 1 stray cloud farther out that appear off-beat between salvos - up to 7 clouds per salvo × 200 damage each. Planes that fly into a cloud take its damage; clouds dissipate before the next salvo lands. Defensive AA Fire, where fitted, multiplies the AA explosions within each salvo, and commander skills that raise the Number of AA explosions add to it.

Main battery formulas

vs standard cruiserStandard
The standard cruiser dispersion curve.
Shell scatter width @ 5 km67.5 m
(166.7 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 67.5 m. Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.
Shell scatter width @ 10 km102 m
(333.3 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 102 m. How wide your shells scatter at 10 km, from the same dispersion model as the max-range figure above. Picking a fixed range makes this number directly comparable from ship to ship: max-range dispersion makes a longer-range gun look worse even when it's tighter at any common range. The interactive Dispersion tab on the Charts card plots the full curve from 0 to max range.
Shell scatter height @ 5 km27.1 m
How tall the scatter ellipse is at a fixed 5 km, from the same model, comparable from ship to ship. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data: radiusOnZero=0.2 at 0 m, radiusOnDelim=0.5 at delim·Rmax=0.5·14850=7425 m, and radiusOnMax=0.6 at 14850 m. Below the kink: k=0.2+(0.5−0.2)·50007425=0.402, so σV=σH·k=67.5·0.402=27.1m.
Shell scatter height @ 10 km54.5 m
How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data: radiusOnZero=0.2 at 0 m, radiusOnDelim=0.5 at delim·Rmax=0.5·14850=7425 m, and radiusOnMax=0.6 at 14850 m. Above the kink: k=0.5+(0.6−0.5)·10000−742514850−7425=0.5347, so σV=σH·k=102·0.5347=54.5m.
AP pen 5 km220 mm
AP penetration at a fixed 5 km, from the same ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the AP formula P=10−7·K·m0.69·d−1.07·v1.38 =10−7·2429·55.870.69·0.155−1.07·654.61.38=220mm, where 654.6 m/s is the shell's speed when it arrives at 5 km (from 925 m/s at the muzzle). Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.
AP pen 10 km140 mm
AP penetration at a fixed 10 km, from the same ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the AP formula P=10−7·K·m0.69·d−1.07·v1.38 =10−7·2429·55.870.69·0.155−1.07·4711.38=140mm, where 471 m/s is the shell's speed when it arrives at 10 km (from 925 m/s at the muzzle). Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.
HE flight time @ 10 km5.62 s
How long an HE shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag, adrag=kρv2, where ρ is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and k bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass: k=πCdd28m=π·0.335·0.15528·55.87=5.66×10−5. That runs from a 925 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77 because the game clock runs faster than real time. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

Guns per full salvo (alpha, DPM)12
4 mounts × 3 barrels = 12; all 12 bear on the broadside.

Model inputs

Krupp (AP)2,429
Armor-penetration constant of the AP shell; penetration scales straight with it, so a 10% higher Krupp is 10% more penetration at every range.
AP shell mass55.87 kg
Enters penetration as mass^0.69 and slows the shell's drag deceleration, so a heavier shell keeps more velocity at range.
AP drag coefficient0.335
Air drag on the AP shell in flight; lower keeps velocity, and with it penetration, at long range.
AP muzzle velocity925 m/s
Starting speed of the AP shell; penetration scales with velocity^1.38.
HE muzzle velocity925 m/s
Starting speed of the HE shell; sets its flight time and lead.
idealRadius8
Horizontal dispersion growth per idealDistance of range, in 30 m units; the slope of the scatter-width line.
minRadius1.1
Horizontal dispersion at zero range, in 30 m units; the intercept of the scatter-width line.
idealDistance1,000 m
Range step over which horizontal dispersion grows by idealRadius.
taperDist4,000 m
Inside this range the scatter width tapers toward minRadius instead of following the line.
radiusOnZero0.2
Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at zero range.
radiusOnDelim0.5
Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at the delim point.
radiusOnMax0.6
Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at maximum range.
delim0.5
Where the vertical-scatter curve bends, as a share of maximum range.

Torpedoes

Estimated torpedo reaction time11.1 s
1700 m / (57.0 kt × 2.6855) = 11.1 s. detectability / (speed kt x 2.6855 m/s per knot on the game clock).
Torpedo speed57.0 kt
Travel time to max range88.2 s
13500 m / (57.0 kt × 2.6855) = 88.2 s. range / (speed kt x 2.6855 m/s per knot on the game clock).
Tube count8
2 launchers × 4 tubes.
Per-side salvo4 torpedoes
8 wing tubes / 2 = 4: the launchers sit one per beam, so only half of them reach any one side. Each launcher reloads on its own, so she can fire one beam, turn, and fire the other without waiting.
Full-salvo damage156,536
All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 8 x 19,567 = 156,536. Each hit on the target's torpedo belt is reduced by its torpedo protection %.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range95
Only families that reach 5 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 25mm Type96 single 6x1 -> 57 DPS @ 3.1 km; 25mm Type96 light 26x3 -> 249 DPS @ 3.1 km; 100mm65 Type89 4x2 -> 95 DPS @ 5 km.
AA DPS layered by range95 DPS @ 5 km, 401 DPS @ 3.1 km
@ 5 km: 95 from one family; @ 3.1 km: 57 + 249 + 95 = 401. Cumulative AA DPS at each family range threshold. Inner ranges stack the outer families, so a target closing the distance hits stronger AA bubbles as it crosses each band.
AA DPS at point-blank401
57 + 249 + 95 = 401 DPS: the sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (3.1 km).
AA threat index1424
57 × 3.1 + 249 × 3.1 + 95 × 5 = 1424. SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.
Near aura range3.1 km

Secondary battery firepower

Max HE alpha1700
The only family (100 mm): 1700. Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1700 from the 100 mm family.
Max HE fire chance6%
The only family (100 mm): 6%. Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 6% from the 100 mm family.
Max HE pen17 mm
The only family (100 mm): 17 mm. Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 17 mm from the 100 mm family.

Background

The development of the Ōyodo-class cruisers - the flagships of submarine squadrons - into full-fledged light cruisers with four triple-gun turrets that housed 6.1-inch (155 mm) guns. Unlike her predecessors, the ship had no aft-end hangar, the catapult was moved to the center, two torpedo launchers were added, and her AA defenses were enhanced.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 27,500 → 32,200 with hull upgrade, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds.

Bow & stern16 mm

Overmatched by 126+ AP guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Belt / citadel76 mm

Thin belt: battleship AP citadels straight through it broadside. Rely on angle, speed and concealment, never sit flat.

An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast.
Rudder (module)separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP9,700 module HPIncapacitated at 0 HPWhen module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party.

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
