Hatsuharu — Japanese Tier VI destroyer.

Hatsuharu was a high performance ship despite displacement limitations imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1930. The ship boasted a comparatively good AA defense. The powerful main battery guns were placed in enclosed turret mounts and could deliver anti-aircraft fire.

Player Opinion

Performance

As a part of the Japanese destroyer line re-organization and expansion in Update 0.5.15, Hatsuharu falls one tier to her new home at Tier VI. There have been a few minor tweaks to Hatsuharu with the change, but she is largely the same. As before, upgrading to Hull (B) increases her health and anti-aircraft battery, but costs her one of her main battery guns. She retains the same twin triple-tube launchers she had previously. Her detection radius remains 6.7 km, while she loses minor amounts of speed and maneuverability from her previous incarnation. Captains who believed that Hatsuharu was under-gunned in her previous slot at Tier VII will likely be more comfortable with her armament one tier lower.

On the other hand, new Japanese destroyer captains who are moving up to Hatsuharu from Minekaze will find their new acquisition to be something a mixed bag: her guns are a significant upgrade from those of Minekaze, while it can be argued that her torpedo armament is a downgrade. Not only is she less flexible with only two torpedo launchers, the reload time is very nearly double that of Minekaze; in exchange, Hatsuharu’s torpedoes can eventually be upgraded to longer-ranged with a bigger punch. Further complicating things is the fact that her torpedo upgrade is locked behind Hull (B), meaning captains must invest experience in the hull upgrade first before having the ability to upgrade her torpedoes.

Without her improved torpedoes, Hatsuharu is stuck with fish that have a paltry 6.0 km range. This forces Hatsuharu into more of a mid-tier American destroyer play style, requiring captains to utilize islands and smoke effectively to land successful torpedo strikes against enemy capital ships. Hatsuharu plays like a completely different ship once she has her upgraded torpedoes, however. The 10.0 km range of her Type 8 mod. 2 torpedoes is more than workable, and her guns can add notable contributions to her damage when used judiciously in the right situations.

Hatsuharu comes off as the inferior destroyer when compared side-by-side with Fubuki, but things flip back the other way one tier up when the same comparison is made between the successors of both ships (Akatsuki and Shiratsuyu). Captains frustrated with Hatsuharu should remember that she is merely a stepping-stone to better things beyond.

Pros:

Improved guns gain significantly increased rate of fire, range, and shell arcs.
Lowest detection range of Tier VI destroyers.
Decent torpedo speed makes her torpedoes harder to dodge.
Generous torpedo launch arcs.

Cons:

Turret traverse and rate of fire remain inferior to American destroyer guns.
Poor armor.
Fewer torpedoes than Fubuki: only two triple-tube launchers compared to Fubuki’s three.
Slower than predecessor Minekaze, with worse detection range to boot.

Research

Like the other Tier VI Japanese destroyer, Fubuki, Hatsuharu is painful to play until Hull (B) and the Torpedo upgrade module are unlocked and equipped. Those need to be top priority. Save the Fire Control System module for last, or skip it altogether and move on to Shiratsuyu.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Hatsuharu are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Propulsion Modification 1
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2
Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()

Mid-tier destroyers like Hatsuharu don't have many outstanding options for upgrades. Main Armaments Modification 1 is the best pick for Slot 1, while Propulsion Modification 1 is recommended in Slot 2. Propulsion Modification 2 is the best pick of a sorry lot for Slot 4. Slot 3 offers either Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Main Battery Modification 2; either provides a minor boost to Hatsuharu’s main battery.

Consumables

Hatsuharu can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Engine Boost

All destroyers should invest credits (or doubloons) in Damage Control Party II (). Engine Boost II () probably isn't worth it — Hatsuharu’s speed isn't amazing, but it's not awful either — while Smoke Generator II () likely is, especially if her commander does not have the Concealment Expert skill.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Hatsuharu with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

-Tier 1's Basic Firing Training and Tier 5's Concealment Expert are easy choices for ''Hatsuharu'' commander skills.  The tiers in between offer an array of options.
-Tier 2 brings a pair of outstanding choices in Torpedo Armament Expertise and Last Stand.  The former is best for more offensive-minded captains looking to maximize their damage output; the latter is recommended for captains with longevity in mind.  Expert Marksman is also a decent place to invest skill points later on after taking Concealment Expert.  Superintendent is the best of the lot at Tier 3.  Vigilance is a good skill for players wanting to provide additional help screening teammates from torpedoes, while High Alert is another possible option for captains who anticipate finding themselves under fire frequently.
-While there are no stand-out skills at Tier 4, it contains two moderately decent options: Survivability Expert and Advanced Firing Training.  The first or last are good options for captains seeking a general skill that will help them in almost any game: Survivability Expert for those focused on staying alive, Advanced Firing Training for the more offensive-minded looking to get the most out of ''Hatsuharu''’s guns.
