In your third slot, you again have your choice. However, Makarov tends to take a lot of damage to both her engine and rudder, so grabbing either Propulsion Modification 1 or Steering Gear Modification 1 isn't a terrible choice.

Damage Control System Modification 1 is probably optimal as this will reduce incidental fires somewhat and provide a little more torpedo-defense protection. You have a choice for your second slot and none of them especially good. Like Nurnberg, Makarov seems especially vulnerable to AP-shell induced detonations due to the high-water placement of her exposed ammunition lockers which makes them more easy to strike at any range. However, given the vulnerability of Makarov's magazines, you wouldn't be remiss in selecting Magazine Modification 1 to help minimize detonation chances, especially given how frequently large caliber HE-shells get thrown around. Main Armaments Modification 1 should be your first upgrade.Her upgrades are what you should expect for a Light Cruiser.
