This subjcet was here perhaps not 1000 times but a few dozens for sure.
1.DD/CL room
6.1"D (best reload), remaining disp bulge+bulkhead (avoid only z99 with 6.75")
2. CL room [no torp]
7.9"C D, remaining disp bulkhead only
3. CL/CA room [no torp]
7.9"C N or D and bulkhead only.
Now I explain why bulkhead only. Because IJN armor wont protect you from HA whores like Oaklands or in CA games Countys/Surreys/Edinburghs with dual 8". With recent boost to RN 8" duals you will be owned badly even with 900 dmg/shell @ max angle. Crazy! Anyway BH is useful to take more damage without loosing speed (when you put a lot of BH you will see on ship status [port] screen that red line is much shorter than without BH). And your support should be average+ too. Going with Mogami CL into CA rooms with SD less than 70-80 is suicide.
Now to 7.9"C N or D in CA game. You must decide, you want to rush enemy or take some range. For range only N ver. But drawback is only 80 shells. It may look not too much, but belive me you can easily do 20k+ attack. I used D version for some time but I was owned badly by any CA. Then I switched to Ns and it was great, but you must be really sure that you will hit something. Do not waste ammo !
And finally some ranges. I understand that no1 bothered to read prevoius post about that, becasue I put this small range table for I dont know which time, 10,15? hehe, Anyway here its:
7.9"B - 22.59, 23.94, 21.76 7.9"C - 24.15, 24.88, 23.01 8"E - 24.06, 25.83, 22.71 8"F - 25.29, 26.24, 23.94
Notice now much range you get using Ns in CA games.
