Player Opinion
Performance
Players familiar with Fletcher will be at home in Chung Mu as many of the characteristics of both ships are extremely similar. While Chung Mu retains the excellent close range firepower of Fletcher, she has the Pan-Asian line signature weapon, the deep water torpedo as well as access to radar. Consequently, Chung Mu is uniquely dangerous to both cruisers, battleships, and the occasional aircraft carrier. While Chung Mu is entirely capable of contesting capture points just like her US sister, her inability to damage destroyers with her torpedoes hampers her ability to control enemy destroyer access to those capture points. Rather, Chung Mu excels at cooperative flanking, where she can easily destroy distracted cruisers and battleships.
Players will be tempted to exchange the smoke generator for the radar consumable, but its modest range and duration makes it difficult to employ effectively in the absence of the smoke generator. Consequently, the radar consumable is best used by experienced players or those working in division, as the consumable requires the close cooperation of allies to take advantage of the targets thus spotted.Pros:
- Excellent close range main battery firepower.
- Good AA capabilities.
- Good maneuver profile, especially when in top configuration.
- Good concealment values.
- Powerful torpedoes with excellent detection values.
- Access to radar consumable.
- Smoke screen can be made to operate nearly continuously with proper captain skills, signal flags, and the premium smoke generator consumable.
Cons:
- Poor main battery muzzle velocity.
- Incapable of damaging destroyers with torpedoes.
- Radar is short-ranged and short-lived.
Research
Hull: Players will want to prioritize this first, as the extra range provided by the fire control module is far less important than the extra hit points and better rudder shift of the B hull. Research of this module unlocks progression to YueYang
Gun Fire Control System: The poor muzzle velocity of the main battery on Chung Mu will make this module far less appealing than the B hull to all but long-established veterans of the US destroyer line.Optimal Configuration
