STAR Kitakaze is effectively a clone of the Tier IX Japanese destroyer Kitakaze with the only differences being that the 8km F3's are her only torpedo option and she receives standard premium ship economy bonuses.

STAR Kitakaze has four main gun turrets, each with two guns for a total of eight 100mm rifles. These guns provide most of her offensive firepower, especially considering their blistering three second base reload. This reload can be further lowered by selecting upgrades and skills — to 2.5 seconds (excluding the effects of Adrenalin Rush). Normally, a 100mm HE shell would not be capable of penetrating more than 17mm of armor without the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill. However, all Japanese 100mm HE shells have 30mm base penetration without IFHE, and 37mm with it.

STAR Kitakaze has a sextuple torpedo launcher. With her Torpedo Reload Booster When used, torpedo reload time is significantly reduced. active, she can put twelve torpedoes in the water during a short period of time. However, this launcher has a very long reload time — more than two and a half minutes — reducible to a little over 2 minutes: still a very long reload. STAR Kitakaze's torpedoes are a useful tool to have in combination with her main battery firepower.

In addition, STAR Kitakaze gains an extra three knots of speed in comparison with Akizuki, a second off her rudder shift time, better concealment, and slightly better AA.

Fans of Akizuki should greatly enjoy STAR Kitakaze, as she essentially shores up some of Akizuki's key weaknesses like speed while also improving as a whole. She is a strong ship for anyone who appreciates the play style of a gun focused destroyer.

Pros:

  • Decent amount of health for a destroyer at Tier IX.
  • Great firepower with her main battery guns.
  • Able to quick-salvo twelve torpedoes using the Torpedo Reload Booster When used, torpedo reload time is significantly reduced..
  • Decent AA.
  • Pretty good concealment.

Cons:

  • Provides a large target for enemy ships to shoot at.
  • Torpedoes take a monstrously long time to reload.
  • Large and clumsy turning circle for a destroyer.
  • Doesn't have Defensive AA Fire While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased. to boost her AA firepower.
