BTW, use the single player missions for grinding. It will make your life bearable, since in less than ten minutes I accumulated over 100k silver with my new Mogami (CA).

Oh, and here's a report on the Mogami (CA):


 * Overall, the ship is fantastic, with excellent speed and other attributes.


 * I currently have a 5inch deck, and 6inch belt, and can still achieve 34knots. My displacement is only around 12,000/13,700, so I believe if I really wanted to, I could get a 6inch deck and 7inch belt.


 * 5x2 8inch is simply amazing, and is more powerful than most other US, British, German, Italian, and Soviet CAs in that regard.


 * If you don't like the 5x2 8inch, you can still arm yourself with the significantly lighter triple 6.1inch, allowing you to get more armor or speed.


 * Four spots for torpedoes, allowing up to four quintuple launchers for ten torps on each side.


 * Four spots for larger secondaries, like the 3.9" QF.


 * Six spots for AA guns.

Overall, a very powerful ship, and if you do away with secondaries, you can easily have a fast, well armored and armed ship that is brutally effective in slugging matches.
