I would like to add the missing models of Japanese light cruisers to Il.
On the eve of the war, the Imperial Japanese Navy had two light cruisers of the Tenryu type with a displacement of 3500 tons, 14 ships of the Kuma, Nagara and Sendai types with a displacement of 5500 tons and an experimental light cruiser Yubari with a displacement of 3560 tons, as well as three Katori-class training light cruisers. During the war, Japan managed to commission only four light cruisers of the Agano class and one of the Oyoda class. In total - 25 ships. Of the 25 light cruisers that were part of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, nine were sunk by American and British submarines. 11 by American aircraft, two by American torpedo boats or destroyers, and three remained afloat at the end of the war. Japanese light cruisers turned out to be very vulnerable to submarine attacks and air strikes. Of course, there is no point in recreating all 25 cruisers; of interest are ships with weapons of different vintages and specialized ships created on the basis of cruisers, such as an air defense cruiser, a high-speed transport cruiser, and the like.
The project is large and quite complex and I cannot guarantee its complete completion, so upon completion of work with one series of cruisers, I will immediately upload a beta version.
